Says who?

I guess if you're a small businessman and on the edge of of being bankrupt due to dell selling comps so cheaply you really don't stand a chance to compete. Or!, you sign up as a reseller to "certain software security companies" to accent your already meager income and find out that once you're under a serious attack your tech support goes out the frigging door..........

OR! I guess if you can prove ips etc., for all the attacks that have been nailing you for well over a year and LAW Enforcement ( yup feds included) do NOT deem you "Large enough" of a business to investigate the problem....Then hell Yes...Cyber crime is down!

As far as I'm concerned? They can take that report and put it where only the leds are glowing.

When the hell will the little guy catch a break? When will we ( You know the guys who work 7 days a week) get the SAME treatment as the big boys do so small businessmen can be again the "Backbone" of our nation's economy?

The odds are getting stacked against more and more of the local techs..who either have to go to flipping burgers, dealing dope or even worse!..I am speaking from great techs I knew, who now sad to say...can hardly afford to make the car payment on their 5 year old honda!

Who do we have to thank? The SAME companies that we've claimed for years made it easier for client boxes to be breached! The same "suits" who are NOT brought to task for screwing everyone but their shareholders!

Personally I think that story was a disservice to those of us are still in the trenches trying to make a go of it!

Perhaps when prices go up again..we'll be competing with robots and migrants to make a living.


Annoyed as Hell!
