>What of the Morris Worm’s other entry method, based on weak passwords?
Oh, but we all know that this is totally fixed by 5-factor authentication. You just type in your password, click on an emailed link, type a pin from your mandatory cellphone app, undergo an ECG and then send in a urine sample. And then you're logged in. It's super easy, and if you're not using it, it's your own damn fault. Even when the website you're using doesn't support it. Just get over it and stop using websites not owned by Google already.

Its unrealistic for root os access, but if more people required an email or text to verify a login, there would be a lot less hacks in the world
