This was a well debated point during the Y2K issue. Everyone was worried
that crackers were going to hit at midnight and there would be chaos.
Then people started to realize that crackers would be idiots to try
something at the stroke of midnight when the whole computer world was
watching. Then the theory shifted and the thinking was that the people
who were after something more than chaos would wait a few weeks until
all of the IT Managers were convinced that it was safe and let their
guard down. So, to use your own analogy of war, never believe what the
enemy is saying becuase misinformation is a strong weapon. Any public
announcement serves only to cause confusion.

Oh, it *is* amusing. But the real amusement will start when all is said
and done, and the underground turns on itself ;-)
