comments for today

Hi.
Well here are the comments on posts.
Hmmm I hate to be an asshole but lets actually focus on attacks that are likely please.
Ok, I know we need to keep our power grids and net safe, but as the article says its unlikely its going to happen and it would require a lot of effort to get past security.
So by all means defend our grids and the net but not so we are not ready for the likely attacks, ie the parris bombing?
Its turned out that while some of those guys were known agency sharing never took place.
If we have sharing issues no matter what attack it may or may not succeed anyway.
We have more likely a extreamist dropping a nuke on washington than attacking the electricity grid as for the net, hmmm it was built so a direct nuke can’t destroy it.
Even if the net could be taken down for how long would be the thing, sertainly not years maybe weeks maybe month or two but not years you would have to take all clouds down.
Now I have had a point where a failier at a local datapoint pulled down several google clouds after a drive went and it actually did slow down performance and in fact pulled the net offline for a few hours till traffic was routed but even then.
The worst we had was when a transformer blowout and line physically got hit by a truck in a main distribution point.
This pulled power for the subberbs for 30 minutes however all central power was out for a few days.
And well if transformers blow you can get disruption for a bit.
Even if the power grid were to be taken down, even if it did succeed, it wouldn’t be able to be kept down for long.
Cyber defence is ongoing.
So yeah if its unlikely then focus on what is likely and not what isn’t at least for short terms.
Our borders, physical explosive attacks and shootings are what we should focus on not the fucking net they are what seem to be happening and while I agree we shouldn’t put anything past those that want us dead I find it hard to even think of something happening because we put all our resources on something that is a maybe but is unfucking likely!

Now with hospitals, well hospitals are this time last time it was isps.
Here the government actually has come under fire because of their systems not being as secure as they should be data breaches in acc and other places where data was leaked to people that shouldn’t have had anything at all.
Mostly private info.
In hospitals I know a lot of the local stuff is contracted out and outsourcing really doesn’t help so much, people that are not trained are doing jobs a trained person is or should be doing, I know from those in the industry friends etc that for staff its getting harder and harder to keep stuff sorted.
Computer systems break and repairs and the like just don’t happen.
Lab tests come back inacurate to often etc.
Things seem to be slipping because of proffit the entire world is bombs or cash.
