IT security hype, lots of it

Bruce Schneier beat me to it, but there has been a bit of a surge of IT security related articles in the mainstream media this week.

First we have:
Criminals target tech students - children as young as 14 being targeted by organized crime!

Then:
Hackers to step up 'cyberwar' in 2007

Usually, I'm all in favor of bringing security awareness to the masses, but sensationalism and hype are not going to help.
