They say the 5 minute blip of the Stock market because of the hacker cost US investors about $200 billion in loses and some where closer to a trillion world wide. If these figures are even close to being true then somebody better figure out how to stop these crooks or at least find a way to find them and hold them accountable for what they are doing.
Hackers are the exact reason I just hate the idea of a national data base for Healthcare records. Can you imagine the problems someone could cause if they hacked the National medical records database and change prescriptions and the dosage. VERY SCARY THOUGHT.
