We are told not to worry about large-scale cyber meltdowns, because none has occurred, and governments are being vigilant. Unfortunately, another lesson of the financial crisis is that most politicians are congenitally incapable of making difficult choices until risks actually materialize.
我们被告知不用担心大规模的网络崩溃，因为政府会时刻保持警惕，而且这样的网络崩溃还从未发生过。不幸的是金融危机的另一个教训是，多数政客命中注定无法在风险实际兑现前作出艰难的抉择。我们只能希望能够幸运更长一段时间。
