Re: Cyberwar could be 'worse than tsunami' said by AB:And would you say "Cyberwar could be worse than tsunami" fits no category of exaggeration? 'Worse than tsunami' is not without reason written with quotationmarks.

The usual reason for quotation marks is attribution. In this case the quotation came from Hamadoun Touré, whom you appear to imply is someone whose quotes should be taken seriously.

Never mind, personally I would never compare cyberwar with a tsunami. Nevertheless, issue cyberwar is serious and actual.

Nevertheless, issue cyberwar is serious and actual. Ah, I see. So the headline in the ZDNet article you quoted, and the actual statement from Hamadoun Touré have an entirely different meaning than your identical thread title, and you were just cleverly avoiding answering the question with your previous replies. Thank you for clearing that up. It is always nice to know what a renown security expert thinks is serious and actual, as opposed to just BS.
