It is totally useless to try to explain to the bosses why the Internet is dangerous.
First of all, these guys are the first ones who, after having imposed draconian filtering measures on everyone else, goes to the sysadmin and says "I need full access - no logs".
Second, the boss is always the one who gives his top-of-the-line laptop to his kids to play with (never mind that he has enough cash to pay an Alienware to each of his brats ten times over). So whatever malware comes back is the fault of the kids.
Doesn't matter anyway, the sysadmin is the one that has to cope with it.
That WSJ article was just a waste of space and ink, nothing more.
