[QUOTE="plat, post: 949797, member: 74969"] Ireland has the right idea about getting the military involved. Did this also happen with Colonial Pipeliine and its restoration efforts? No, of course not. In fact, it was reported to the FBI "hours" after the fact. I was angrily questioning why this urgency about implementing hardware security, leaving many users scrambling and hustling and paying thru the nose to get compliant. Then I saw on 60 Minutes last night what is at least partially the reason: Solarwinds. Microsoft got hacked and part of its source code was stolen. Russian hackers behind many of these large-scale attacks were already using the Ukraine as their testing ground, including the means to make infected computers self-destruct. So, the responsibility is shifted much more to the end-user now in the form of Secure Boot, TPM, DEP, etc whether we like it or not. It's a jungle out there. 🥶 [/QUOTE]
