In December 2010 the media was alive with stories of hacktivists attacking payment websites including Visa, MasterCard and PayPal in response to those organisation’s refusal to take payments in support of the WikiLeaks website. Every day we hear stories of cybercriminals stealing money and cyberterrorists causing mayhem, alongside state sponsored cyberwarfare as nations battle it out on line.
