I've been doing infosec since I was 10. That's why I know a teenager can rip apart billion dollar companies. Just take a look at the audience of any 2600 or Defcon meetup. 90% of these people were tearing shit up since they were a kid. In fact, I was a better hacker when I was younger, because I had more time to experiment and learn new things. I know this all comes as a surprise to a bootcamp or C.S grad, but you are not representative.
- unclebucknasty 5y agoWe're being attacked by organized criminals, sponsored by hostile nation-states, not your imaginary teenagers. The point is that we should defend our companies and economies by responding vigorously against the criminals and their national sponsors with law enforcement and aggressive offensive cyber capabilities. They need a smack in the mouth every time they touch any of our citizens or the companies for which they work. These are costly direct attacks on our national security, economic prosperity, and infrastructure that are followed up with classic Russian-style propaganda, intended to minimize and redirect blame to the victims. That propaganda is then propagated by trolls and useful idiots. And, here you are with your victim-blaming and minimizing strawman claims about teenagers and boogeymen.
