No Rules

In reading the article No Rules: Internet Security a Hobbesian State of Nature, it seems to throw into perspective exactly how serious hacking is and can be. We've seen examples in class of what a lack of security or just a very smart hacker has done to companies like AT&T, and now we even see recently attacks on Google and Twitter.
The article gives the results of a study funded by McAfee, showing the very real scale of attacts that major enterprises face online. Of those surveyed, "54 percent... experienced 'large scale denial of service attacks by a high level adversary like organized crime, terrorists, or nation-state.'" This statement shocked me, but thinking on it, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise because of such recent events like the attacks on Google. But in my head it is such a large business that I feel like it should be well protected, and it just seems invincible to me. But suffering such a large attack shows that maybe we all need to check those invisible walls that help keep out hackers.
