Threats

I just watched Live Free and Die Hard again… and among all the silly Hollywood touches, there is a kernel of truth about the shift from physical weapons to virtual. Granted, John McClaine still ran around proving otherwise with his Glock, stacking the baddies like cordwood, but regardless, there is a more threat surface area due to our reliance on these damn machines.

And the point…

I hop on the net, and I see a thread in the Admin forum of my gaming community, that our Remote Console function for a few of our more popular servers was hacked.

It’s almost the same as a mugging. Just instead of 9mm pointing drug addict asking for your money, it is some dipshit kid trying to prove their shit to a friend.

Some things change, but then again, some things just never will.
