Although both the father and student knew better they became complacent and wound up with an expensive paper weight which may have been used to unknowingly infect other computers on the campus network and the Internet, because they did not understand the “ why's and wherefore's “ of the software they were using, the environment it would be used in, and the despicable, unconscionable nature of the 2 per-centers.
Tell us when they come back. I wouldn't be surprised if they do. I know we've strayed from what Gartner has said but honestly, I think user ignorance (and user willingness to remain ignorant) are far more serious issues than cyberwarfare. Cyberwarfare happens between groups that have a clue usually. If they catch the "innocents" (dumb-dumbs) inbetween, then it will get ugly! The eventual solution will be seperate internets with limited (if any) access between nations/regions. You'll need to get fingerprints and photo ID to gain access to the internet and if you fall into one of the "questionable" categories (that is, if you are of muslim faith) then you don't get access and become 2nd class citizen.
