It's also my working theory of why we won in Independence Day the movie :) Aliens were never warring among themselves and/or allowing any kind of a hacking culture, so didn't think to secure their systems!
- alyandon 10y agoI had come to the same conclusion with respect to ID which made the plot a lot easier to swallow. They were essentially a hive mind working with a single purpose and were therefore incapable of conceiving the notion that they would need to secure their systems against an attack that essentially used their own technology against them.
