This one takes the prize for the week's bogus bullshit award.
This guy made all the banks trouble right..... bullshit
What surprises me though is the FED getting in on the action.
I think it's a massive case of CYA.
Why does the Defense Dept need to be hooked up to the Internet?
My mother ran every county tax there was for years and kept every record a county would keep on a computer, without ever being hooked to the Internet.
It's not the necessity that they want you to believe it is.
There was computer life well before the Internet!
This is about the net control issue.
Look what has happened with the TSA, people banded and gained together through the internet,

A federal grand jury has indicted a Malaysian citizen for allegedly hacking into a computer network at the Federal Reserve Bank and stealing more than 400,000 credit and debit card numbers. Federal prosecutors also allege Lin Mun Poo, 32, made a career of compromising systems at financial institutions, major corporations and defense contractors. They say he sold or traded the information he found. Also according to the Justice Department, "in approximately August 2010, he hacked into the computer system of a Department of Defense contractor that provides systems management for military transport and other military operations, potentially compromising highly sensitive military logistics information." Poo was arrested when he traveled to the U.S. in October. If convicted of the most serious charges, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

It sounds like a Hollywood movie: cybercriminals in a van use a laptop to hack wirelessly into the computer-controlled systems of the car on the road ahead. In seconds the target car's engine, brakes, and door locks are under their nefarious control.

Texas cops say a man hacked into GPS systems and disabled more than 100 cars.It doesn't take a great script writer to figure out what's next – except that it's not the movies anymore. It's real – well, almost.
