Under oath in French Senate, exec says it would be compelled – however unlikely – to pass local customer info to US admin
“However unlikely”
I would assume that it is routine. Regardless of what any exec say.
No fucking shit. Computers, the way they’ve been developed and deployed, basically look like they are intentionally insecure. The fact MBAs keep trying to force this fundamentally flawed concept of computing upon the world is driving intelligent people to look else where.
What? Computing in general is not flawed.
Cloud computing from a data security standpoint has some huge and I would say, unacceptable, flaws though.
On-by-default wireless connections are kind of a MASSIVE security issue.
Really, simply the fact that society keeps trying to force things on computers which are not at all safe to do, is why our current paradigm is so shit.
That has not really anything to do with “computing”, which can be done regardless of what network is used or even without a network.
This also does not really affect weather or not cloud computing is flawed or not, since you can access the cloud without wireless connections.
This all being said, wireless networking is a big security problem, we have just collectively decided that the convenience is worth it.
It was just one example dude. The entire system we’ve built is so full of holes it’s basically impossible to safeguard data that ends up on a computer.
Hell, someone literally hacked and blew up an Iranian nuclear centrifuge which didn’t even have a connection, taking advantage of capabilities which security experts around the world weren’t even aware a computer was capable of.
No.
Yeah?
This is what happens when system complexity grows unconstrained.
We may look at a piece of software and say, “right, this software is secure!”, but the clock has already started ticking toward the next vulnerability found.
This does not make the field of computing flawed, but rather the systems we run computing on is flawed.
the systems we run computing on is flawed
This is my point.
“Fuck around and find out” has become the U.S. motto for international relations lol
