I suppose that as long as a computer lacks any network interface card, it's comparatively safe, compared to most organizations today? @willvarfar, About the safes — did they expect (or worry about) someone to breaking in, and power on and try to access the computers? Or/and was it to protect against "insiders"? (say, someone in the staff got bribed, or a janitor or some other 3rd party person?) I wonder how they got data out from those computers? If by connecting to a printer, to print on paper, then, was that via a cable? Was the printer connected to any network? Hmm but you wrote that this was before the Internet, so, then, maybe only an intranet? and no wifi, only cables? Maybe they copied data in text files on floppy disks? What do they do instead nowadays, if you happen to know? > The very real threat were people trying to locate young victims taken into care etc Who are the people who want to do such things? Was it the same underlying reason as this time — extortion and making money? Or something else? If it's okay to ask / if you happen to know
