So when you read DP World is shutting down four major ports in the first few sentences: You thought that a private company was requiring every other private company & the various govts in Aus to firewall off the http port or something like that?

I'm all for blaming schools and blaming journalists for mistakes stupid people make, but that seems like it's on you being a little too credulous.




I figured it out from context clues, like everyone else. I just found it a little disappointing that in an article about Australia locking down ports after a cyber attack, there wasn’t even a clarifying statement that it wasn’t talking about a network firewall.

Although this is not a tech focused publication, it seemed a bit of an oversight and I wasn’t the only one who thought so.
