Doesn’t keep viruses out, just ask the Iranians about their centrifuges!

So much for remote access, but for household or business in-house electronic control systems it does provide security.

We’ve been improving the security mechanism of all things on the web for the last 20 years, so why not leverage that and think about “futuristic” solutions. Sure not the best answer as these aren’t bullet-proof security mechanisms, but certainly “good enough for most uses”, so that would certainly be a good starting point to improve.

The US Chamber of Commerce admits they were hacked by someone with a China IP address – in May 2010. WTF?

Did the C of C finally assure the Petroleum Club that none of their inside trading tips will have been revealed so they now have permission to release this info?
