Just Wait Until Data Thieves Start Releasing Altered and Fake Emails


It's one thing for someone to air your dirty laundry. It's another thing entirely to throw in a few choice items that aren't real....

If people used secured servers, this would be a nonissue.
:lol:

Sure it would. There's no such thing as an online fully secure server. Certainly some servers can be better protected than others, but hacking can always be an issue.

If that were true, we'd be reading that Wells Fargo went broke because they were hacked and all their money was gone. If that were true, our silos would be sending missiles out country. Or maybe even IN. I don't believe you.

Complete lack of understanding of technology and computing on your part.

There is no perfect security solution. There's just better security.

It was just this May that international bank attacks really hit the news. There's more to come.

Just to let you know, your missile silos intentionally don't operate under contemporary technology. That's one of the large benefits.

In Hillary's case there's no need to alter anything. The content of whats been released so far is damning enough

Yeah I saw a frontline report on that. The computer systems in the silos literally use floppy disks and are intentionally not updated from the 70's tech they run on. Can you imagine "nukes in the cloud" LOL

Don't they still light off the rockets with a match, then run like hell?

You know, back when the folks at RAND were playing around with all of the doomsday scenarios they could mentally construct, they weren't really thinking about hacking. Internal sabotage, sure. External forces being unable to perceive subtle communications between States. Hacking? Not really. But one wonders if I should find an essay by Wohlstetter
or something proclaiming that the hacker of the 1980s shows a sign of things to come.

In brief there's at least two substantial benefits:

Hardware and software errors are kept to a minimum. For instance You don't want incorrect inputs to escalate nuclear weapon delivery.

Outside tampering is really kept low key.
 
Anyway, people need to be put through the gauntlet before we can educate people that "hacks" are just as susceptible to uncovering black propaganda you thought was true or that in the age of the self-described "hacktivist," a warm public profile is incentive enough for creating false documentation.

If this is a reference to Hillary's private server (not sure if it is) - that wasn't hacked.

If it isn't, well, secured servers still get hacked regularly. Email is inherently insecure and very easy to fake.

No, there is no such thing as a 100% secure online system. Anyone CAN be attacked, in various ways. Certainly some systems are better protected and prepared, but there's never a 100% secure server.

Sure, much like every single bank on the planet has been robbed. Every military code has been broken. Every part on your car has broken.

And you're such a partisan hack you lack the ability to know what is true and what is false.
 

Not to mention, if you're trying to hack a financial system:

a) The hackers MO is to be as discreet as possible. They're not trying to cause chaos, they're trying to steal themselves some money.
b) The bank will want to keep things as quiet as possible in order for people to not lose confidence in them.
 
Quantum computers are coming and there is no way to hide data of any kind in them.
