During this time Makwana had root access to all of the main systems
This quote above, and the entire article boggles the mind. I've worked with big and small organizations that protected root on <10 machines like it was the key to preventing aging.
- jrockway 16y agoNot sure this matters much. Most places I've worked have considered local root exploits not worth patching. So if you have a user account, you have root.
- triffidhunter 16y agoThe more systems there are, the more likely this kind of thing is.
- dspeyer 16y agoStill, somebody has to have it. If the number of people is too low, you risk them all being unavailable when you really need them. And there isn't a whole lot you can do to stop a malicious actor who already has root.
