Comment on N. Korean hackers breached 10 defense contractors in South for months

Comments

I have no idea what to do about tech security. The holes will seemingly always exist unless we go back to safety critical code.

Its far easier to be a hacker than a programmer of the same economic/political influence. You can take the second or third tier of programmers and they will be able to get you into a system.

My only thought is to only prevent non-anonymous entry, require some real world presence, and have capachas between commands... This doesnt scale.

The main problem is that most companies are still not spending anywhere near enough on cyber. Even the big boys(mostly because until they actually get hacked they have no idea how much value they have at risk and IMO gov fines for this are nowhere near big enough) like systemic banks are way behind where they really need to be.

The problem with cybersecurity is that if you have no breaches its a "great" item for some striver manager to cut and if you get breached the budget will go up, but the guy in the cybersecurity department will at a minimum get told off and held back, and likely fired.
