Comment on Military Wants to Put All Its Eggs in One Cloud

Stupidest Idea EVER! It is like those in charge want to fail. In
college, I studied computers and programming in 1970. I have been a geek
since before that word existed. The more developed technology becomes
the easier it is to hack into or destroy. In 1970, you could not hack
into a computer. Why? They were not connected to anything. Simple logic,
if you do not have a port into the computer, it is impossible to hack
in.
Allowing a device to control your computer is a recipe for
disaster. Being honest, I do not hack anymore, but there was a time I
did. If you have an access point, I can promise it can be hacked.
Putting all your information on a single source makes it a high value
target to hack. It guarantees everyone wants in and they will get in.
The best solution is to spread data out to hundreds or thousands of
locations. No one location is that valuable unless you know what is
there. But with everything at one location, the hacker knows what they
want is there.
If I was a betting man, I’d say less that six
months after completion it will have been breached. The breach will be
classified because too many jobs are on the line. But within probably
nine months every important document or bit of information will have
been stolen.
stepping into the way back machine, travel back to 2006. the Mossad discovered there was a syrian/north korean nuclear weapons plant in north east syria. the plant was ready to go online. the Israels were shocked that they did not know of it before this point in time. how could this happen? they only discovered after accessing a computer file on a researchers laptop in london, england. how did the syrians make the program they ran so opaque?
ReplyDeletethe Mossad discovered that the syrians and norks did not use any-any!-electronic means to transfer any information about the program. no phones or computer intranet, no telegraph, no teletype. paper taken by trusted courier from one office to another.that is how they did it.
Mossad is very much a Humint type organization. they do not totally rely on technical means like some intelligence organizations i know of.
the point is, no matter how good your communication systems and internal electronics security is, it only takes one Hillary R Clinton to screw the pooch and let all your data hang out like dirty laundry hanging on the line in the back yard.
Very interesting and hadn't heard that.
