The public announcement coincides with a presentation Watson expects to make Thursday at an Internet security conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Watson said he would disclose full details of his research.

Watson predicted that hackers would understand how to begin launching attacks "within five minutes of walking out of that meeting."

Wow. Big weekend coming up then.

Imagine there will be no Internet anymore? Just thinking about it gets me into cold sweat!

I think it will not be that serious, but just think about it for a second!
