attackers who hit the U.S. might be able to hide their identities.</p>

the head of Russia’s biggest antivirus software company isn’t sure
the forensics will work.</p>

Kaspersky, Chief Executive of Kaspersky Lab, whose products are

attack-attribution techniques that he is aware of can still be
fooled.<br>

thing about what Panetta said last month was that he didn't say it
like that. It's better written down like this:<br>
