Ivan I don’t think the "eneral public has any idea of how much dama"e can be done by someone "ainin" access to a computer system. It’s one thin" to have your credit card details stolen, but on an international level there would be all kinds of ramifications. 4bviously security is very ti"ht and firewalls are very sophisticated but there will always be people tryin" to outsmart the system.
