    What a world we live in. No wonder we can’t ever have nice things. We can’t have computers that aren’t subject to the sick fucks that invent viruses to infect them. We can’t trust our online information thanks to the sick fucks that need to steal information because of their asshole criminal smallness.

    No matter what we always get screwed over by the assholery of the small and sick perverts out there.

      This is absolutely on the manufacturer. Default credential attacks should not exist in the day and age.

      Sad, but some of us make a living out of this. But still sad (and true).

      Of course if that was not the case we could employ our sorry minds to something more constructive.

        I hope not because bringing misery and hurt into people’s lives to make a buck is about the most inexcusable and sick thing a person can do. It’s akin to selling people into slavery, only with even less morality. Holding people hostage to hacking is absolutely the worst filth a person can engage in.

          Not following… Since this is a cybersecurity com, I assume that many of us work in this area, literally defending people and organizations from attackers and scammers. That’s why I said some of us make a living out of this in a sad way.

            I’m not saying that cybersecurity folk are the bad ones but that they even have to exist is a sad statement about the corrupted world we live in. Why anyone would deliberately create computer viruses is beyond my understanding at all.

            Isn’t life hard enough for most of us? With our daily grind and frustrations, and then having to deal with computer hackers and people tyrying to steal our personal info and bring down our national systems – the sickness of hackers is beyond my understanding.
