SECURITY

• "Security Illusion?", Newsweek, WEDNESDAY, October 6, 1999. Peter Neumann, a computer scientist with the technology thinktank SRI International, also believes that the underreporting of computer attacks is "enormous." "It's the old story of how many cases are undetected-you don't know," Neumann told Newsweek.com. Of the portion that are actually detected, he believes only a fraction are reported. Only now, he adds, are people are beginning to realize how "riddled with vulnerabilities" the infrastructure really is.
