I think the point is that if you accidentally leave your door unlocked, you can’t truthfully say “well, if I didn’t do that the burglars couldn’t have gotten in” while you also have ground floor windows.
- joe_the_user 6y agoIf we're using the door analogies... it seems like the solar winds attack came because someone figured out how to sneak-in the "doggie door" (hacked the auto-update function, maybe call it the "delivery door" like homes had 50 years). And problem wasn't so much that this happened (cause indeed, shit happen). The problem was all these key enterprises (Microsoft, government agencies, etc, etc) had "doggies doors" when really they should have only had the most secure doors themselves. And sadly, unlike the retail situation, where a bank can decide they want only a secure door to their vault, today's enterprises have basically decided the benefits of giving multiple access to other enterprises trumps the security costs, since they never pay the costs of bad security anyway.
