Cyber Security is damned hard enough when you have everything set up and configured by people who know what they are doing and are security conscious as they design and spec it out. And then staff it with people who know what they are doing.
The setup and staffing is far less than that, and the worst part of it is, I have been long convinced it was designed exactly like that for a reason. I hate thinking that, but there it is.
By the way, great Freepname! Brought a smile to my face...
My dad, a 30 year Navy guy, was an inveterate smoker of the Pall Mall brand. Washed them down with about ten cups of strong coffee a day. Classic Navy man.
And he always had a cup of black coffee in one hand, and an unfiltered Pall Mall in the other.
I admit, I was fascinated watching his ritual. As I watched, he would tap that red package with the white writing a few times to coax a butt out of the pack. He would deftly snatch a Pall Mall and stick it in his mouth.
He would pull out his Zippo lighter (which was always so fully filled that when he lit it, the big yellow flame would be about three inches high and an inch or two wide, it seemed) and hold the flame in front of his face.
Then, with a practiced tilt of his head to the side to avoid burning his eyebrows or hair (when he had it) he thrust his face towards the flame and stopped with the tip of the cigarette just in the flame, and, with narrowed eyes, ignite the cigarette.
Eyes still narrowed, he would draw on that cigarette, then after a second, would emit a billowing cloud of smoke as the butt dangled from his lips.
Hahahaha...he’s been gone twenty years now nearly to the day, and it made my eyes misty to imagine that scene I must have watched ten thousand times or more. Heh, he was a three pack a day guy, and I was ardent “Dad watcher”...I tried to emulate everything he did. The way he walked. The way he wrote. I sure do miss him, but...I cannot think of him now with anything approaching sadness. I have a big grin even as I write...:)
LOL, that said...I never DID take up smoking, even though I have begun smoking a pipe a few years back.
Anyway, back to the burning present and the ho-hum Constitutional Crisis we are experiencing!
My FreepName came about from various sources, mostly from the famous street in London, which coincidentally the cigarette brand is named after.
I really don't know what will happen. The least I want is for Dominion to go down in flames -- their name right now is mud, or should be at this point. They should be the Milli Vanilli of software companies, and I hope Biden-Harris become the Rosie Ruiz's of politics.
