"we" (the community) shouldn't be playing into the hacker spirit of things. by increasing your threat level publicly plays into the hacker mind-set that they can *take over* and be causing problems on a wider scale. we should be dampening the hacker spirit by not letting them visually see anyone panicking or there being an increased level of concern. don't give the overall aura that hackers can have an affect on us, and that even though we might be working hard behind the scenes in an increased level of busi-ness, this shouldn't be communicated outward to the hacker community, as it gives satisfaction to the hacker community as a whole that they are beating us down. its about psyops against the enemy, not that the threat level is not there, just don't communicate your fears and concerns outward to the hacker community, not just to those hackers willing to take part in attacks, but just everyone on looking and thinking, "look at them increasing their threat level because of "hackers""... don't give them that satisfaction and morale boost.---n3td3v.

Why do you think they win if we assign a threat level to something? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
