An IT manager at General Dynamics, where we worked, told me; we get hit about 30,000 times a day. I asked if it was the Chinese. He said, no, mostly from California universities.
The only security failures I am aware of were caused by individual users who violated policies by sending their personal emails to work so they could read them there. They’d introduce viruses that in at least one case, caused IT to shut down the entire multi-divisional intranet. I have no idea what was lost, if anything. The point is that serious breaches can be caused by low level employees not following the rules. I’ve seen people fired for plugging their USB phone charger into their PC.
Imagine what Hillary’s escapade exposed the government to. A black guy asked me enthusiastically what I thought of Hillary. Probably because I was paying him for a job and we were in transit he sat quietly through my half hour response.
Do you think any of it sunk in?
My fiber line gets hit about 900 times a day. Mostly East Asia and Eastern Europe. E.g., a couple of minutes ago, some Ukrainian made two tries at the telnet server I don't have.
