So, if they are connected and successfully attacked, the people who allowed it to be connected should have their but placed in the lineup of those who get dealt the swift kick in the pants for having made that boneheaded choice. It is a reminder that the internet is not the end-all-be-all network. Some non connected networks are good for us. And if you must make it to one of the not connected networks, maybe you should have a good VPN or similar connection into it. Those who have connected critical infrastructure to the internet and introduce serious consequences for it's failure should be prepared to suffer the consequences of their actions. These are the same people who complain about password complexity requirements and still expect the security to be high. -- Steven Critchfield [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
