Actually . . .I do. Being IT in a Government department means we are under almost constant attack. It's the 'casual' sort of attack, trying everything they can to catch us when we screw up. It's also leftovers of years gone by, old viruses that target government IP space.
The US recently revealed it's Cybercommand is under the NSA umbrella. They are well prepared.

What would be really neet, although it wouldn't be politicaly correct, would be to put a trogen horse into the N Korean computers that would display the American Flag playing the american national anthem or even worwe the real history of their country and its leaders.
There is something positive looking at pictures of the Might MIdget it looks loke his days are numbered. The next "dear leader" won't be any better than this one except hope fully he will rethink ths wisdom of the the nuclear game of chicken with the rest of the world.
Now, counter attack!!!
