You're damned right....we ought to pull all of our business interests out of that country. ---- Steelplate
Steel, this is one of the more sensible things I've seen you post. It only serves to illustrate why we shouldn't have such information on a server. Store those specs in a hard drive, and disconnect. Access them only on PCs with no connection to the internet via ad-hoc (computer to computer) protocols.
Do a sort of "synchronize watches" process, where the information is available to online users by arrangement?
My opinion is some "hacking" is cover for information sold to the highest bidder. No question there was hacking, but the reality is not all hacking is equal. Algorithms can be seeded with specific information is my point. In particular dealing with Chinese and defense issues one imagines anyone with relevant access info is being watched.
Oh, wait a minute - move along, nothing to see here!
This is fair play, free markets at work if corporations are doing it.
Sorry.
I forgot.
WTF are you mumbling about?
If nothing else this *should* serve as a wake up call that our cyber security, in this country, is decrepit.
You can choose to make light of our inferiority to the rest of the world (as a tool to use to take your cheap shots at the evil corporations) if you want to.
Meanwhile the rest of us will try to figure out better ways to block the fuckers.
