The issue of computer security has been rapidly garnering mainstream media attention. While IT experts have recognized the growing dangers of the malware threat, only now are common people starting to take notice. This is largely because of the recent “cyber attacks” on the U.S. and South Korea, both of which claim the attacks originated from China on a line leased by the North Korean government. I’m not so sure I’m willing to believe that, but it’s plausible.

Straying away from IT politics, I think the “hacking underground” scene is fascinating. There is a wealth of knowledge that can be had from these very talented, misrepresented individuals. We owe many advancements in security to the hacking community.
