Yeah so it turns out that basically the entire field of cyber security is 95% a complete joke.
As evidenced by everything gets hacked all the fucking time and massive data breaches are so commonplace they’re usually barely newsworthy.
There of course are a small number of people who can actually oversee/implement reasonably secure code development, but, well, that costs money and takes time, but it does not cost anywhere near as much money or time to just confidently lie to people and pretend you know what you’re doing.
Governments tend to just defer to “industry experts”, which basically means ‘big dumb idiot corporation that verifies their robustness via a human centipede of paid consultants’.





























Yep, I remember a MSFT vet actually teaching me the term ~15 years ago, when I was working for thrm and … yep, just another thing Elon has fucking ruined by association/appropriation.
Elon quite literally does not grok Grok.
