The Hack Report has posted a small yet informative interview with Lance Spitzner, founder of the Honeynet Project.
In my mind, Lance is right on the money when he said the following:
"Even with better technology, better OS security, stronger passwords, better policies it just makes it more difficult and time consuming for the bad guys but they can spend all the time since there is no fear of prosecution. So much profit for so little risk. Hacking is just a tool for extortion, fraud, identity theft, things that have been happening for a long time. If we want to make it more difficult for them we have to bump up the risk as a deterrence."
