Security workers fighting against the new “cyber-weapon” malware? They are wasting their time on something that’s not that important, at least according to the F-Secure analyst Sean Sullivan: the real issue for computer security is elsewhere, Sullivan said.

The Finnish company analyst stated that “defining what a cyber weapon is, is next to impossible”: computer threats like Stuxnet, Flame, Gauss and others aren’t “weapons”, Sullivan suggested, they just are “code and tech” and “what you do with it” is the only thing that matters.
