Of course it's not a joke and, yes, these kids have cost our country a 
great deal of money. However to raise these types of Web defacements and 
DDoS activity to be side-by-side with the horrific event of 9-11 is 
outrageous and flat out wrong - no one has yet died from a "cyber attack".

Vatis' report serves to raise the importance of what is minor activity 
compared to the true terrorism going on right now. I would have stripped 
out all the material about DDoS' and Web defacements and really taken a 
look at utilities, airport security and ATC systems as well as other such 
infrastructure within our country who's compromise could cause some REAL 
serious problems.
