Here's a sobering statistic: One in five of us will become victims of a cyber-attack, which are occurring at an astounding rate of one every quarter of a second!

Currently the Large Hadron Collider is still gearing up toward a slow restart at low 'safety level' pretests. It will not go back online until it has a clean bill of health, with restart operations at half power, then gradually increasing through 2010.
