People still think they are "playing" on the internet.
The government is not playing.

I don't think the government is waiting around for people to report attacks either.
Why wait when they can pretty much watch the traffic and pin point attacks?
Small attacks may just be testing for big attacks so why not bust the attackers now
before the even think about hitting a government computer?
That's a lot of jail time for fucking around on a machine.
The internet and a computer are like a rope and a chair : Give them to some people and
they will use them to hang themselves.
