@jedijester Now what did they do?
@Jsabinas cyber attacks, or so it seems
@jedijester I mean, Sierra Leone? How are they combatants?
@jedijester and I'm merely speculating, but I welcome and respect your and anyone's opinion.
@jedijester It crosses my mind that if you hold anything precious in your IT systems, you'd better have hardened them by now or you deserve to lose your job. But what about those who can't afford it,? Did the Internet just close off another path to freedom of use? If you can't afford to play...too bad.
@Jsabinas @jedijester
I'm old enough to remember when a firewall was a wall, because there was no internet. If you wanted to log in remotely, you dialed into the system to authenticate, then it dialed you back at your known landline phone number to let you access the computer.
We may end up back there, yet.
@AlphaCentauri @jedijester If I were to design a more secure system, I'd consider what abandoned tech I could leverage.
