Stephen Cobb is a literature scholar, a prolific author, and a data security expert. Speaking of the bad guys he says, "I think the most significant aspect of bad guys today is that they are much badder than bad guys 10 or 15 years ago, when the primary motive for messing with computers was first of all curiosity, then some malice, whereas now a lot of it is the underground market in personal information for identity theft. I think the big problem now is that whatever interests are backing this activity are increasingly moneyed interests."
