With just $800 in basic equipment, researchers found a stunning variety of data—including thousands of T-Mobile users’ calls and texts and even US military communications—sent by satellites unencrypted.
Obviously, ignoring security is pervasive, well-established, S.O.P.
Incompetence wins, because it is “normal”?
I read only a sample of this book https://www.manning.com/books/secure-by-design and its whole fundamental understanding is that our world has been using the wrong framing of security, all along.
It isn’t paint you put on finished-work, for nice highlights ( my metaphor, not theirs, I’m just trying to communicate the idea of what we’ve been doing )
Rather, it is a set of concerns that need to be kept-in-mind throughout the entire development-process.
So, more lives will be subject to identity-theft, wrongful-accusation/conviction-of-crimes, robbery, etc, because corporate institutions refused to be responsible…
Will anything make the irresponsible-authorites accountable?
Of course not: establishment protects its own.
Force-altering the framing of secure development, however, that does look like it can make our future investments be significantly less corrupt.
I have not bought that book, I have not read more than some of the sample, I’m not saying it definitively is the understanding we’re needing.
I AM saying that what the authors were saying in the part I’d read definitely is on-the-mark about us solving-the-wrong-problem, producing wrong-results ( I’d say pretending to solve problems, as what we keep proving we’re doing is fundamentally more-corrupt than merely solving the wrong problem, but … )
Manning has specials, periodically, so it should be possible to get the ebook for 40%…50% off, if one is patient, & persistent in checking their website.
I want the results we’re making to be better.
If anyone knows better means for making our results better, please correct my comment.
