Anthem is citing "company policy" that prohibits third party access to its network
I guess the hackers didn't read--or failed to abide by--that policy. Kind of like "gun-free zone" which only deters the law-abiding.

Ah... the Yamato-class. Largest battleships ever built, but largely obsolete before they ever went out to sea.
Well, close. It was totally obsolete before it ever went to sea. Unfortunately, no one listened to Billy Mitchell.
Doxing someone is _never_ the wise answer.
Posted by Anonymous Coward is truly fitting.
I come to Slashdot for interesting news, not sad news.
This, more than most anything else, is definitely "News for Nerds."
I am truly sad. Is it time to launch the Genesis device?
My kingdom for mod points.
The summary was talking about the late 1990's, not the late 1980's.
Novell had been almost entirely supplanted by Windows NT server and other alternatives by the turn of the century, largely owing to the fact that just as the Internet was just starting to become the next really big thing, they were still entirely dependent on IPX/SPX instead of TCP/IP.. By the time they corrected this oversight, they had lost such a large percentage of the market in which they were once dominant that they never recovered. They were about relevant in the late 1990' s as Windows 3.1.
You're off by by a few years. NCP over TCP was the default protocol in the late 90's (Netware 5, 5.1). NT 4 started Novell's slide to irrelevance, but it wasn't until Win2K came out with AD that the coffin was nailed shut.
Will the Cuban government allow that? Cuba is a communist nation
So? After the US has totally sold themselves to the Communist thugs in Peking, I can't see see how this is objectionable...based on precedent.
Choices were stark: use Windows (with SMB/CIFS Services), or use UNIX (with NFS and NIS).
Novell Netware was still a player back then.
by hatchet, axe, and saw.
Companies and governments have seeded public discussion with enough chaff that they can make anyone look like an idiot if they want to, and the public's already primed to believe it.
You think? The government could tell me that water seeks its lowest level and I wouldn't believe them.
The author totally skips over the first sentence ""This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience" and then points out all of the things that a private citizen can do.
Duh.
And if Comcast doesn't pay Minneapolis, Minneapolis turns off everyone's cable, right?
Wrong? When I hear "remove the franchise", I imagine Minneapolis saying "hey Comcast, guess what, competition is now legal since you didn't pay your bill". What I don't imagine Minneapolis saying is "hey constituents, guess what, your cable is being cut because Comcast did not pay its bill", and it is not clear to me why you do imagine that.
Yep, that's what I meant.
....just how can you be bought? And how cheaply?"
Also, shouldn't Minneapolis' club being removing the franchise for the unpaid franchise fee? If I don't pay Comcast, they turn off my cable.
...was awesome til they got away from s/f-alternate realities and into tits and ass.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
