Is it REALLY easier? --- Excellent observation @Jorge. This is an issue that has always been of interest to me. On the one hand, we often say that technology affords the opportunity for greater levels of transparency, accountability and auditability but in the same breath, especially when it comes to cybersecurity attacks some say that it is more difficult to trace and find attackers and attack vectors DESPITE the excellent cyberforensic capabilities that exist. I wonder if the issue is one of "ease" or rather, one of the willingness to allocate/prioritize the appropriate budgets in this area. What do colleagues think about this?
