You just switched the attacker model from "script kiddie somewhere in the world, changing stuff for the fun of it" to "physical presence with specific malicious intent". Those are not in the same ballpark, not even the same country.
- josefx 6y agoYou underestimate the stupid things local kids can get up to for fun if they thought they wouldn't get caught. So you can at least throw out the "specific malicious intent".
- elbear 6y agoOk, but how many stupid local kids are there and how many worldwide script kiddies?
- heavenlyblue 6y agoKids who are trespassing are not stupid. You have to take the risk, observe the behaviour of the security and then behave reasonably so that people would forgive you if you get caught. The action is stupid, but trespassing idiots get caught quickly - that's just "survival of the fittest" mechanics. If you never trespassed in your life then you were probably not smart enough to get away with it?
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoSecurity is a big word, we are talking about large facilities with like 1 or 2 people on site. As a kid I've tresspassed plenty, it often takes 'security' hours to even spot you
- codyb 6y agoI’m not particularly worried about a group of kids contaminating a single rural water supply, I’m more worried about coordinated effort by a malicious nation state to accumulate security cracks and then use them in a coordinated effort during a war time scenario.
