Sadly, I conclude that devices connected to the Internet are irremediably insecure. Air-gap it or lose it, I guess.

Digital is dangerous. There's a reason why the Kremlin switched back to typewriters.

Compartmentalization is one of the strongest defense tools we have. For example, with the icloud leaks an attacker was able to gain access to all the data in a single strike. If it's true that Apple can no longer decrypt user's icloud data, an attacker now needs to hack people one-by-one. Hacking takes time and effort, and a one-by-one payoff may make it that hacking icloud is no longer worth the effort. Users are safer, even though they are still theoretically vulnerable.
A lot of people are stepping up to the plate to offer stronger security on digital systems. (Qubes, for example. Let's Encrypt, for example). If choose to take security seriously, hacking will become harder, the rewards will plummet, and the world will be safer.
This is insanity...and whats worse, is Russian state-media are trying to say they were doping...theres NO doping on those charts.
Recently I've become worried that almost all "leaks" are done by nations.
What has leaked since 2012 that we won't know about until 2020?
I don't think it's necessary a problem that more current leaks are state sponsored.
Firstly, that's their job.
Secondly they're open about what they[1] are doing and are on a recruitment drive.
Thirdly, the more leaks that are obviously state-sponsored suggests sites are better protected against johnny hacker and his downloaded scripts.
[1] By "they" I mean the agencies who frequently pop up here with articles about how they're recruiting because of an ongoing cyber-war. (And yes, the word cyber is cringeworthy but it's the word used.)
Yes, I'm Russian. Yes, I live in Russia. And Yes, I like my country.

It seems Simone Biles, and the Williams sisters are taking performance enhancing drugs. But the athletes in question have an exemption from the doping agency. More coverage over on the NYTimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/14/sports/simone-biles-serena...
Why the hell US government, US media and pro-US organizations (ex. WADA) says that the Russian government was behind all hacking attacks in the last 6 month (maybe year or even more)? It sounds like a broken joke from 60s... Yes, I'm Russian. Yes, I live in Russia. And Yes, I like my country.
