stuff — more and more viruses that can be classified as cyber weapons, created by nation states or by private companies

sponsored by them.

Though you can never be absolutely safe, our staff hasn't been threatened, and I hope never will be. This may be because we fight malware, we don't conduct criminal investigations. This is what the

police should do. I believe the World Wide Web should be divided into three zones. A red zone for critical processes; for operations in this zone an Internet ID should be mandatory. Then comes the yellow zone, where minimal authorization is needed; for example, age verification for online shops

selling alcohol, or adult stores. And finally there’s the green zone: blogs, social networks, news sites, chats… - everything that’s about your freedom of speech. No authorization required ” Who is the
