This massive (and successful we are told)upgrade of all the nation's automated systems are now vulnerable to (cyber)terroism and threatens are national security. If I recall, don't recent Executive Orders now include "cyberterrorism" as an act that could demand the President to declare a national emergency if such acts on our newly fixed sytems disrupt our national infrastructure?

Expect to see more articles like this. The code is now fixed, but is now vulnerable to attack by "cyberterrorists."
