Talking Web News: Cyber-crime bigger threat than cyber-terror

The paradox of the Internet -- a computer network originally designed to survive nuclear attack succumbing to spam, viruses and other malicious code written by teenagers -- riles computer security experts.
Quote:
As David Perry left a cyber-security conference in Luxembourg in 2004, an airport terminal handling international flights was in chaos.

A network worm known as Sasser was scorching the world's computer systems and had knocked out the airport's reservation desk, stranding delegates in the terminal.

In a fable for the information age, conference attendees, among them some of the world's foremost computer security experts, flipped open their laptops and reopened the terminal in a matter of minutes.
