“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”

When baby boomers first heard the story of Chicken Little sometime in the middle of the last century, most probably never feared the actual possibility that the sky could ever literally rain down and harm them. Ask the same question of a comparable young person here in the second decade of the 21st century, however, and he or she might be well justified in taking the alarmist fowl’s warning more seriously, for the aspect of the Internet euphemistically described as “the cloud” has created a seemingly bountiful opportunity for the unscrupulous to acquire the means to attack innocent and vulnerable victims remotely and anonymously. And unlike the fictional portrayal of the apocalyptical children’s tale, the current digital version is hardly a flight of fantasy.
