So let me get this into perspective: A US journalist is worried that Russian hackers[1] will hack into his computer the moment he turns it on at Sochi. Of course if the Olympics were held in Washington, he wouldn't be perplexed. He would probably be so sure about it, that it wouldn't even be worth mentioning. This post is an prominent example of propaganda: No technical details, just pure old FUD for the masses. Why and How did this came up in HN's frontpage (we're supposed to me technically speaking, above average when it comes to computers), is beyond me. [1] Tall guys, short blond hair, speaking English with as Russian accent as you can get, having obvious temper-control problems and always heavily armed (K-7 and a couple of bombs, just in case) even when sitting on a 11.6" inch laptop. Sorry, I forgot to add that they are probably sitting on a cold basement in Syberia.
