I take everything that source puts out with a grain of salt. On more than one occasion they have embellished the facts beyond recognition. And has been said the Chinese are not alone in the cybercrime business.

The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

I'm a regular reader of TheReg, and would like to know more about anything which would tend to impeach their journalistic credibility.

My statements are from articles I saw several years ago and I no longer have the specific references. My opinion is mine alone and not meant to sway your own views. But I have ever since identifying the previously mentioned source having embellished facts, I no longer accept them at face value. Much like many many other sources on the web.
