In my case, I am a contractor ready to bail because my government sponsor, who is in a big role in a branch of military cybersecurity, is not motivated nor interested in anything that might take effort. Gotta protect his funding line and rice bowl.......

The lack of leadership combined with the bureaucracy has made me lose any faith that things will improve. I work with some people every now and then that are awesome, dedicated and motivated, but like me, they get tired of 'the fight' and take a job outside of the .gov space, getting paid and with about 30% of the responsibility.

Cool! Now, where is the link to his statement?

"The FBI should be given the method to crack iPhones" - Abraham Lincoln

Well because ......... Internet of Shit

Terms of Service (TOS) and people agreeing to give all their info up is going to do us in, as someone mentioned above about Orwell envisioned government oppression doing it, but it is actually people *giving up freedom* that is a much more devious thing. Gradual and it feels good to have all this convenience and security...... a warm blanket that someday may smother you......

We tossed this idea around in the office before. Stuck in traffic but can't see ahead? Launch the tethered drone - just straight up and high enough to see what is ahead. Power is no problem as it is tethered, and you can get high quality video. With the right design, maybe handle speeds of > 5mph as it goes into 'kite mode'.

Just an idea. :-)

Side question - I have opted out since Day 1. 98% of the time when I opt out, they take me through a little side gate and I skip the scanner AND the metal detector. Have you had the same experience? I am OK with the metal detector but have not had to do it since the opt out for scanner option is there.

Sorry I have no answers for your questions, but also interested in the replies you get here.

Thanks

They did not 'act so fast' if they were already in the air, in an area close by...........

Meaning, they don't sit around waiting, they are already scooping up calls all the time.

Does Shodan HQ keep logs over time? :-)

So, I only have one. Do I still qualify for the poll?

Does everything really need to be connected to the Internet?

Let's through money at it, instead of fixing even the most basic compliance issues the .gov space can't seem to get.

Wish they spent the money on OPM..........

I remember when the technician in this article was being called out as paranoid and many did not believe it.

Unfortunately too true.

Oh but you get to pay for a new version of Office....... so not totally free.

Amen. Watch 'Deep Web' and you will find the truth. The truth is, the government's case would have fallen apart if the defense was allowed to question witnesses, including experts, but alas, that was not going to happen.

Reasonable doubt is there in my mind. Look beyond the hype and actually how the case was handled. Scary stuff.

Love Interviews like this, but less background noise would have made it easier to follow.

Thanks for the interview though, lots of good info!

We let someone go based on this alone.
