> no such thing as computer security
There absolutely is for anyone who cares to use it. That sort of defeatist mindset is super counterproductive, and ends up putting more people in harm's way.
We're talking about people choosing to upload unencrypted content to a cloud service that is obviously publicly available. The security/privacy properties of this action I think should be obvious even to less technical users.
- coldpie 2y agoYeah, man. These are all the end users' fault: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_breaches https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_breaches Totally.
- px43 2y agoSysadmins are also people. Also I've been pushing for informative security scoring for publicly used services for over a decade. If you're in the field, it's pretty obvious which services are at high risk of being breached, but that really should be something more accessible to the general public, like FDA letter grading for restaurants.
- coldpie 2y agoSo between these two comments: > There absolutely is for anyone who cares to use it > Sysadmins are also people. is it your contention that the sysadmins at those organizations don't care about computer security? Or that users are responsible for knowing whether their organizations' sysadmins care about computer security?
