Folks in the security world are, once again, warning everyone that they're not doing enough to protect themselves against cyberterrorism. Of course, that's because most people just don't see the big risk. While people do admit that there are some risks, they find it hard to believe they will be an actual target - and thus, the expense of securing a system outweighs the expected costs of a cyber terrorist attack. Meanwhile, folks in the security industry and the government have been crying wolf about cyber terrorism attacks for quite some time - and most people don't seem to think either is providing unbiased information.
