That's a pretty low moral threshold for suggesting that we execute people.

The Apple-Facebook attacks came from Eastern Europe.

Time to nuke/drone strike them now?



Stop being so trigger-happy.

 

 

Even that article's author said he at first thought China.

Perhaps this attack wasn't from China, but many seem to have been.

This should have been their first guess.  Eastern European (especially Russian) hackers are notorious, and incredibly talented/skilled.  Also not particularly concerned with ethics.  

 

This sort of thing is big business BTW, individual hackers can make quite a bit of money selling source code and other company secrets...
