Opinion on Israeli espionage plot

[Richard Stiennon]

While I completely agree that the TH case in Israel must represent the "tip 
of the iceberg" and for sure there will be similar cases in Europe and the 
US (have already been).  But it is pretty useless to blow this particular 
horn.    I am sure many Israeli firms are scanning their machines to look 
for the presence of Trojans, but apparently the impact in the US has been 
close to zero.    Not until security incidents actually occur do most 
companies respond.  So just wait....
