Whenever I need a reminder that IT Security really is that important

I get a dose of reality whenever I look at http://map.ipviking.com/ Although my computer isn’t nearly powerful enough to render the animation as smooth as a video game, about 2 minutes is all that’s necessary to understand the sheer scale and magnitude for the need of information security in a global world.

Here’s a static pic:

A quote came up last night at a dinner party.  It was Albert Einstein addressing future wars:

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

When I look at the above map, I have to question if perhaps we have found the weapons.
