If this is what amateurs can do, what could professionals accomplish?

This from the Telegraph….

French fighter planes were unable to take off after military computers were infected by a computer virus, an intelligence magazine claims.

Another story from the Telegraph details what another hacker was able to do to US computers without really trying.

These stories are nothing by themselves. But they make you wonder what a bunch of disciplined professionals working with the backing of a national government could accomplish via computer hacking if they put their mind to it.

The nationalist cyber mob that Russia throws at nations that annoy it does not count as professional in my book.
