My apologies in advance to any here who might feel that this is off topic... I don't personally believe that it is. Frankly, I don't know of that many mailing lists where the subscribers are likely to care as much about network security (and/or the lack thereof) as the membership of this list does. By now, most of you will have read about the massive federal data breach at the U.S. Government's Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and also the fact that (by OPM's own preliminary estimates) this massive data breach affects at least four million federal government employees...
Hi Ronald, I'm of the opinion that the whole thing is your fault. The security inadequacies of your network are obviously what allowed the Chinese Super Hackers to break in with their false BGP advertisements and source address spoofing. Well, maybe not, but just imagine if that was true: your post would be on-topic for the mailing list!
