- unethical_ban 3y agoTime to add "Sec" to your title! Lesson one: Security is a spectrum. There is a difference between "No exploits in our base installation" and "The top nation-states of the world may be trying to load software of unknown capability onto my networked computer".

- TacticalCoder 3y agoIf Iran had been running their SCADA stuff on hardened OpenBSD systems instead of Windows, maybe the story would have been different though. I'm not saying it's realistic (SCADA drivers may not exist for OpenBSD): what I'm saying though is that only a fool would consider Windows as secure as OpenBSD.
