"First Ever CyberWar" Cost $1,642? Bua-ha-ha!
Remember "Estonian DoS", the "first cyber-war ever" (gasp! :-)) -
"A 20-year-old Estonian student has been fined for participating in a cyberattack that paralyzed Estonian Web sites and soured the country's relationship with Russia, a government official said Thursday. [...] Galushkevich must pay $1,642. "
So, will the scaremongers please shut up?

All the talk about Electronic Jehad and cyber warfare from self styled experts were adding to the noise. There are more subtle ways by which espionage (industrial and state) is being carried out. It would do everyone good if the "experts" start concentrating on real problems rather than whipping everyone into a frenzy along with themselves.
