that the path to recovery from this kind of breach is incredibly
painful, and there are numerous folks managing that recovery.
Knowing that, doesn't it bother you that your system is very likely
vulnerable to the same exploit - and that there are people who know how
to do it?
You are making assumptions Les. You don't know how the perpetrator
gained access. (Well, I am assuming you don't, but if you do, feel
free to enlighten the rest of us.)
Agreed - I don't know. And that's a problem when someone else does know
how to break into our systems - or we haven't been told that it was an
inside job.
Until it's disclosed how (and where, when and why) - getting worked up
over it is wasted energy.
So is pretending that there is no reason to be concerned.
Congratulations on the very selective quoting as well.
It doesn't make any sense to point out how serious a problem a breakin
is and then say everyone should just ignore it and go about their business.
