You don’t think it should be illegal to hack a telecom network and take control of it?
replyNope. It means the people running it did not do a good job configuring and securing it.
replySo if you steal something it means the owner didn’t do a good job securing it and if you murder someone they didn’t do a good job protecting themselves?
replyWhat an absurd world view.
The diff is that owner is responsible for their own shit where a telco has everyone's things in there and is exposed to the whole world instead of just one street.
replyIt is like a bank that has sloppy security and exposes you to the whole world, including adversaries from Russia china NK etc.
Things like Telco cloud banks should absolutely be thrashed for having bad security. Responsible disclosure should also be a thing but we all know these companies sue people for that too.
I have this view when it comes to computers and software, not physical property or people.
replyIf your bank has shoddy software and a thief steals your money is that ok?
replySo you would be fine with someone clearing out your house, while you were away?
replyThere is no door, that cannot be opened with enough effort. Part of what stops people trying, is the fear of consequences.
I have this view when it comes to computers and software, not physical property or people.
replyAnd most people do not have guards and dogs walking around the perimeter, but we still blame the burglars for breaking in their houses.
replyMaybe you should think through the consequences of living in a society where anything a person can do is allowed lmao
replyThis is the epitome of the "blame the victim" culture.
replyWhen it comes to computers and software, yes. They need to do a better job not letting others screw them over.
