I have read severla rpeorts this year about cities, hosoitals and energy suppliers beign blackmailed by comoputer n etwork hijacks, mostly in the Us it seems, but also in Europe, but over here, so i got the impression, it is not so much a city'S admimnstraiton but single institutions like hospitals and cpompanies beign blackmailed.

How nice it will all become when cash money is gone and all finances are purely digital only, and nobody can escape the digital regime. You cannot help it, you must love it.

Banks' computer IT usually is amongst the oldest out there, btw - and the most vulnerable. Nobody with a sane mind would accept to have "bank standard security" as his security standard in anything in his life. Its too bad.
