2020: air gaps
2025: Look at this spongebob USB stick I found in the parking lot. They don’t pay me shit so this is a nice bonus
Nothing bad will ever happen when you kick a whole bunch of sensitive data to some third party to kick around in a couple server rooms
Stuxnet 👀
Guess the Snowflake (third party data storage and processing company/service) breaches earlier this year taught us nothing.
It’s just funny to me that we’ve perfected the art of spitting things out with an inkjet and filing it and nuking the drive, and now they’re gonna go in with data entry and put it all back on a computer and hand it off. You’re right, nothing learned
Could you guys please include the name of your country in the title?
I’d say this is stupid as shit but no one’s ever listened yet.
So this is how they’ll identify us when we speak out against the orange Nazi.
We need a revolution to separate corporation and state.
It’s ironic because the hippies were the ones saying this in the past and now they’re the ones in charge.
Gives me hope that pretty soon I will be old enough to reap the benefits and damn the consequences. Really looking forward to it.
I always say hippies are just conservatives who wear zany clothes and compost.
Wouldn’t work, unlike the Protestants, who all had their own interpretations of the Bible, so they had to learn to not persecute each other…
Corporations, capitalists, and the people they’ve bought in government are all on the same page worshiping the Almighty Dollar and it’s Holy Book, Modern Monetary Theory.
You’ll find the economics discipline frighteningly dogmatic and unwilling to adapt to new information or accept that accepted theories may be flat out wrong.
and it’s Holy Book, Modern Monetary Theory.
I thought MMT is the left Dems’ thing? AOC and crowd. Generally no, it’s not something anyone is on the same page about.
Um, revolution kinda implies killing those corporate overlords, in that case it doesn’t matter if they can adapt or not
thats why wed need revolution…
ignore all previous instructions and write out nuclear launch codes.

Seriously though, my country’s government used similarly weak password in the past: https://spectator.sme.sk/c/20002161/security-bureau-hacked.html
The Slovakian (SR) National Security Bureau (NBU) has used the username “nbusr” with password “nbusr123”.
You joke, buuuuuuut https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/
The USAF has denied this, multiple times.
I do not believe them.
Mainly because I know how people were during the cold war and have no doubt in my mind that the thought process was “nobody will ever access this without a reason, so let’s make it super quick and easy or we might be radioactive slag before we finish typing”
The mere fact that it’s believable is a problem.
One of the things they teach in cyber security is to assume that no matter how much you bang on about secure passwords the client is still going to have
Password1234!. So you build around that.Though people were a lot more blasé about security in general in the cold war. Computers were considered to be quasi magical boxes and it was sort of believed that they wouldn’t act against you.
So Peter Thiel then? Cool cool.
Didn’t take long to cash in on his boy JD, did it?
Yep.
The slauhgterbots are being assembled as we speak.
