Go back to loony bin if you do not understand technology. Keep playing with your toys and tech gadgets. Technical things are beyond your reach anyway.
This is perhaps a big news for Pakistani Tech industry. People are always so critical never looking in to what really has happened due to less awareness and knowledge about the matter.
Anyways, APCERT has been an organization of international repute and Pakistani team competing at international platform shows real efforts and show of knowledge display that we possess substantial knowledge in that arena where big players like OIC CERT, Australian CERT, China CERT, Japan CERT and Vietnam CERT were taking part.
We are Pakistani, we can do anything for our motherland!! Keep it up!
