- tryingagainbro 9y agoPoint taken, but given the hacks I'm almost certain that while fax machines are insecure, at least the damage is very limited /targeted. Now just imagine an EquiHealth hack...AIDs diagnoses, other STD, infertility, etc etc records out there--forever.
- dx034 9y agoYou're being downvoted but I think you have a point. A lot of the old tech is not secure per-se but doesn't concentrate data in one system. Most newer systems have a single point from where you can access all data. If Equifax had been based on paper and Fax, no one would've been able to steal 150mn records.
- tryingagainbro 9y agoI don't care about downvotes. Most of the time I don't write a lot so most is left to be processed. So, many times, even if I'm right, I could downvotes for that ;). But yeah, since we can't secure anything connected to the internet (a lot of big boys got hacked) or to a central db, we have to go to plan B.
