This article is literally right off the front page of today’s paper. Cannot get more fresh and current than this. Yes, we were done with cyber, but this looks as though it may end up being the most damaging financial hack of all time – estimated at $300 million to $900 million stolen.

The article concerns advance publicity of a report security firm Kaspersky plans to issue on Monday. Whoever finds it first, please post when it is issued.
After reading the article:
1. Why do you think that industry groups and individual victims do not want to comment?
2. What do you think the government should (can) do about this?
3. President Obama issued an Executive Order yesterday (Friday, 2/13/15) calling for more cooperation between private sector and government sector in addressing cyber security. Do you think it will hurt or help? Should private industry be wary of the government, now that we have learned from the Snowden materials that the same government agencies were already trying to also hack private industry?
4. Any other items you’d like to discuss about this.
