It seems mad that access to sensitive databases, for instance, is a simple password reset issue. I would have hoped for some kind of additional hardware security, like a keyfob/dongle. I remember reading that MI6 spooks have them.
I too have little sympathy for the likes of the FBI or CIA when they suffer this kind of breach, it shows they are not competent. Unfortunately they will instead try to extract retribution from some autistic kid...again.

- xiphias 9y agoThe only way to solve this issue is to decentralize violence / punishment. Still, it will take a lot of time to get there _after_ we have decentralized currency. For now this is what we have with all the good and the bad parts.
