mats: this solarwinds business is interesting
mats: i wonder where it will rank among top10 historical counterintel failures
verisimilitude: I've yet to look into what this Orion software is actually used for.
verisimilitude: This situation of having Internet-connected infrastructure seems untenable.
adlai wonders whether there's time for a "IT HAS BEEN <vigesimal> DECADES SINCE THE MOST RECENT CARRINGTON EVENT" off-hand dismissal.
verisimilitude: The old strategy of sending in federal agents to clean up for Microsoft and similar corporations doesn't seem like it will continue working, either.
verisimilitude: I always found that odd, how some corporations get federal agents to fight for them so; I've read accounts of the USSR, regarding unproductive factories which were run by political friends, and how they would similarly not be made to follow the usual rules.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: yer living in a (rebranded, less -- despite the pr bullshit -- efficient in ~every respect) clone of su.
asciilifeform: mats: much-hyped shitware exploit, but still pale shadow of how mswin install base as a whole is regularly owned
asciilifeform: the fact that 'solarwind' is all over the fishwrap front page, and the fact that mswin10 sends EVERY KEYSTROKE TO REDMOND aint -- somehow makes the former more remarkable than the latter ? imho is mind-boggling.
asciilifeform: where i said, e.g., ' if we listen to Krebs et al., writing virii is a "cybercrime" -- but forcefeeding Microsoft's sorry excuse for an operating system to the ~entire planet, for decades, somehow is not.'
asciilifeform: still stands.
adlai once began enumerating cybercrimes; "0/0, would not enumerate again"
asciilifeform: somehow some rando db theft, pinned (by nyt, and 'believe! or are you a terrorist??') on 'putin's stooges', is 'cybercrime'. and what redmond, nsa, et al do, 'not cybercrime.' Because Reasons (tm)(r)(c).
verisimilitude: Yes, that quote before the footnotes has stood out to me ever since I first read it.
