My first inclination is to say "good". My thought is that maybe incidents like this will get governments (actually everyone) to take security more seriously.
But, realistically, I'm forced to change to "bad". What I know will happen is there will be a bunch of hand wringing, minor panic, etc. Followed by a request for money. Lots of money. Lots and lots of money.
That money will go to cronies at companies that specialize in government contracts. Most of the money will be pissed away, aka legally stolen. And we'll only be very slightly better off (if that) than before these hacks happened.
- adolph 10y agoThere may be some things that require relatively low security within a high trust environment. For example, fire extinguishers behind glass in a building.
