Some days, I think we are screwed
I meant to write about this earlier and forgot. Last week I was listening to the Diane Rehm show on NPR while out for a long run (I am weird and prefer talk radio/podcasts on long workouts). The show was all about cybersecurity. To be honest, the panel was a bit weak (Ravi Pendse from Brown was decent). When they opened up the phone lines, as you would expect, a lot of consumers called in. I will paraphrase one call a bit.. I don’t really get what the big deal is. If someone uses my Social Security number all I need to do is call my bank and clean it up. This was prefaced by: I’ve worked on process control systems for over 20 years, like water treatment and other utilities. Even the panel had a hard time responding. (Sorry I don’t have a transcript.)
