Actually....
Actually, whisperycat is making it sound like anyone with Word is at risk - and they are, whether you choose to believe it or not.

Just because the attacks, thus far, seem to be limited in their scale, it doesn't mean the scale can't be broadened. That's why it's referred to as a 'scale' - it's easily adjustable.

True, the sky is not falling, but there are attack helicopters hovering high overhead. The fact that you refuse to look at them DOES NOT mean they aren't there.
