Truth About Computer Security Hysteria
2/19/02 correction
Vea Culpa, Corrections editorTuesday, 19 February 2002 Rob Rosenberger's 2/19/02 column dismissed a supposed "cyber-terrorism" event, saying it "requir[ed] a week of cleanup at a cost of AUS$13,110.77 (roughly US$26,000)." Vmyths reader Mark Slemens and others pointed out a currency conversion error. The real value is closer to US$7,000. Rosenberger made the error at a currency conversion website when he accidentally requested a US-to-AUS conversion.
