We've been preaching for years that physical access is an end game situation. Nothing new, and no I do not think this will help drive the point home any more thoroughly. Leaders (of both the political and corporate variety) will go on believing themselves safe because of elaborate and seemingly secure security implementations that fail because they gave data center keys to the janitor.

But first he stopped to log into Facebook and holla at one of his shawties.

And don't forget that the research shop that discovered it is headed by a guy who is a vocal proponent of having an Internet Police and absolutely no anonymity. Don't get me wrong, Kaspersky is a really good malware research team with a really good product, but I stopped buying their products as soon as I heard the CEO make those ridiculous statements.

Just leaving a letter talking about a screen door isn't really going to cut it for people who just expect to plug in a device and have it work perfectly automagically.

There was a guy I read about in one of those kooky FORBIDDEN SCIENCE books you have to order from the back page of a catalog that also sells spirit crystals, dream catchers and cheap swords. I didn't get to read the entire chapter on him, but he was utilizing a system of rods stuck into the ground hear trees to harness energy. It seemed to be pseudo-science of the most laughable sort at the time, but now, I dunno. He could have been on to something.

Who was doing the metrics monitoring? With a lapse in security that gaping, I'm very surprised that the linear test scores was discovered in the first place.

I have a lot of heat coming from my rig. This oughta work fine on it!

Not gonna read that. I'll just do what the fuck I want to!

Give them those digital books from that new cyber textbook company, Finkle-McGraw Hill.

Well then, get back at me when you know something about computers, Doc.
