What part or parts do you disagree with?

 

I'm just curious. I'm not looking for an argument. Just to be
enlightened.

 

That's all.

I respectfully disagree.  This is a little sensationalist I must say.  

I wonder if other industries allow over hyping their issues to this
degree?  I know its job security.  But this just looks kinda ridiculous
to anyone besides us.

Kilian Strauss, of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE).

"These criminals, they outsmart us ten, or a hundred to one," Strauss
told Reuters,
adding more internet experts were needed to investigate and tackle
