Reaction To the Sony Hack Is 'Beyond the Realm of Stupid'

rossgneumann writes North Korea may really be behind the Sony hack, but we're still acting like idiots. Peter W. Singer, one of the nations foremost experts on cybersecurity, says Sony's reaction has been abysmal. "Here, we need to distinguish between threat and capability—the ability to steal gossipy emails from a not-so-great protected computer network is not the same thing as being able to carry out physical, 9/11-style attacks in 18,000 locations simultaneously. I can't believe I'm saying this. I can't believe I have to say this."

    People who need to carry a gun to feel safe are wussies... or maybe it's just an excuse to carry a gun in hope to have the opportunity to legally shoot someone.
