So it's interesting to note a recent statement by the U.S.
intelligence community that pours a bucket of cold water over all
of this. According to government spies the likelihood of a cyber
Armageddon is "remote." And this raises some unsettling questions
about our ability to trust government officials and why they
might be tempted to fall back on such blatant hyperbole.

It's like many of us have been saying all along. This is mostly about
money and power for the cyberscare-industrial complex -- not about
realistic threat scenarios.
