2008-01-17 13:19:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...Luck . All these systems were built prior to the Internet and they get connected to the Internet and then all of a sudden everyone's a schmuck It is a very useful reminder that a lot of our "security" is luck-based : in other words, you are not 0wned 'cause nobody got around to hacking you yet About me: http://www.chuvakin.org

...luck and talk about the primaries of Super Tuesday. I stayed up late tonight switching between CNN and Fox News to really get a "fair and balanced" view of what was going on.
