But still, why would you upset? At the very least this guy has made you aware of a known security hole in your router. Sure, the timing maybe inconvenient, but at least you now know there is a problem you have to attend.
Would you rather leave the hold open and be happy in your ignorance if the security problem in your network?
- cbhl 8y agoIt is trivial to secure a system by powering it off and disconnecting it from the Internet. That also makes said system useless for getting work done. Many people do not care about security at all; they just care that it "works". If we want the world to be more secure, the best (but hardest) way to make that happen is to make it cheaper/easier/faster to be secure than to be open (for example, Let's Encrypt).
- Hello71 8y agoyes, you can also dump toxic waste into the river, and that "works" just as well, but it makes you a bad citizen. of course, most people don't care about that, so it takes other people to force them to stop dumping.
