This is why I don't click on links I don't know. And why I don't use Outlook! Those that still click on unknown links may deserve what they get. Just saying.

If you want to be sure your outsourced IT company isn't doing something wrong, hire a third party to routinely audit your systems. The best option would be on-going monitoring with live response, but at least a periodic audit would tell you if something was wrong. Inform your IT company you are auditing them, and the likelihood of them doing anything bad will drop. If they don't like it, find someone else. There is no reason to object to auditing in this type of situation.

What would be really interesting would be combat robots that were programmed to eliminate weapons, not people. Imagine sending in an army of robots that destroyed all the opposing army's guns, tanks, etc. without a single casualty. You would still win the war as they would have no effective means to fight. Of course, you'd still have a problem on the cyberwar side, but that's a different topic. Hey, maybe they'd destroy all the computers too. Then everyone would have to buy new ones and the economy would boom, right?! That's what I'm going to do with my tax rebate!
