quotes[0] = "As reports of seven-figure fraud cases, stock-manipulation schemes and rampant electronic trespassing proliferate, so does the media's fascination with the hacker mystique. Tales of digital fire-starters-seemingly able to burn down even the most elaborate virtual fortress-capture the attention of a global audience. We can't help but wonder: Are the arsonists truly more talented than the firefighters?";
sources[0] = 'Greg Shipley, Secure To the Core';

quotes[1] = "A premeditated and politically motivated cyber attack could make physical terrorist attacks look diminutive by comparison. For example, seizing air traffic control system computers or banking operating systems would place a cyberciminal in a position to do extensive damage.";

quotes[2] = "As any data defender in a large enterprise will tell you, it's a lot easier to attack than it is to defend.

sources[6] = 'Esther Dyson, CNET Networks';

quotes[7] = "The Internet is like a giant jellyfish. You can't step on it. You can't go around it. You've got to get through it.";
