That last statement is 100% wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The idea that nations and all of 'us' are under attack
is completely inaccurate.
The idea that micoshaft users are already under attack
because of its dumb security systems is 100% accurate.
That last paragraph from article should read as follows:
Western windummies that form large collections of micoshaft corporation
operating systems and software users are
becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attack from hostile nations,
terrorist groups and criminal syndicates, and an increasing reliance in
civilian technologies made only by micoshaft corporation by intelligence
and military agencies is having an
adverse effect on national security.
