The flyer analogy does not work because the services were not broadcasting or otherwise advertising their presence.
Following the house analogy, the thief tested all the front doors on the street and opened those which were not locked.
- dcow 6y agoThen search engines must not be legal. They crawl the public internet and index what they find. What you’re effectively saying is that the flyer is unknowable unless a Street-view car drove past and snapped a picture of it and its owner engaged in SEO to make sure it landed near the top of search results. There is no “house” in this analogy (which you might call a corporate/private network secured or otherwise). No private network was accessed. This stuff was on the street, in the free pamphlet section of the newspaper stand.
