There always is a crack, that is how the light gets in.That statement was attributed to some infamous cracker on the internet, who wore a bunch of cracking tutorials, on how to crack programs using debugging programs. People thought he was a professor of computer science because the stuff he wrote was that good. I read some that stuff, only understood 1/10th of it, but the most important statement, I believe.
I do not keep up with the cracking and hacking stuff.
It seems to me it is all around me still. My cell phone, it is always giving me these calls trying to scam me. They are spoofing local cell phone numbers. There had to be a hack on some level there.
Then the constant Micro$oft patches, all those are is buggy code that could have been used in a potential hack.
Then there is always the human element, because people are rather lax with computer security concerns. They say that simple phishing was the main mode of breaking into American computer networks that the mainland Chinese used. Send the targets a mass emailing, hope they hit the link.
Come to think of it, this is turning into another rant, but I thought I remember I read a story a couple months ago where some company had their systems locked up but that Russian virus in an attack and had to pay the ransom. Maybe the quantum computer could help out, to beat that password that locked up the corporate system?
