#3And this is why you need to practice Defense in Depth. DO NOT assume your system is simply hardened and cannot be penetrated. You have to assume the opposite -- assume you will get fcked hard and apply separation among systems such that a wound is just a wound, and not a fatal death.

#5At this point I really don't care anymore. It's like reading an article claiming the sky is blue...every damn day. Entire cities are offline and being held hostage. Gov't entities getting hacked, taken over. They don't care about our privacy, so I don't give a shit about their insecure systems. Let them all melt down. Then they might care about us, but only because it affected them in a hardcore way and forced them into action. Can't wait til AI really takes off and they ML it all full of known hacking methods and 0 days and just let it out in the wild. Stuxnet was a baby. Wake the F up.

#7> All in all it reads like a security basics 101 list that has been ignored. System administrators lacked security certifications, no role-based security training was in place and JPL, unlike the main NASA security operations center (SOC), didn't even have a round-the-clock incident reporting capability.
That is not security 101, that's CYA bullshit that corporations institute once they've been caught with their pants down. "Training" is worth jack. You have to actually implement security practices for them to be worthwhile. Sysadmins are not always the brightest bulbs in the box, but they definitely shouldn't be expected to be doing a security team's job of regularly auditing security policy to make sure it's being enforced.

#9I usually roll my eyes at meta comments on HN about ads or tracking on web pages getting in the way, but good lord. This page first slams you with a nearly full page ad with no dismissal, and then after you read a few paragraphs hits you again with a modal sign up dialog.

I was going to screenshot that page. A small auto play video in bottom left corner, a top bar pop up to get the "latest updates from Forbes", an email sign up for the Forbes Daily Dozen and in the background, blurred out is the article.
