The Internet is a bad Neighborhood


The Internet has become a cesspool of theft, blackmail and extortion. The complete lack of
security means that anyone can be a victim from a teenage girl all the way up to government
institutions like OPM.

More then a decade ago I gave a security presentation at the NNSA. I compared the Internet to a vast neighborhood where anyone could throw a rock through your window, not just the delinquent down the block . Since that time it has only gotten dramatically worse with predators and police states able to collect peoples most private data.   Hackers can now throw "rocks" that can damage or destroy medical equipment or nuclear power plants.
