I bet no one locks those closets. I know for a fact there are a few comm closets with actual servers controlling the PLC of the building at my university that are often left unlocked, door wide open. No one gives a crap at these institutes. If a real malicious hacker got into one of those, he could easily wreak havoc.


And yet somehow, havoc isn't wreaked. Most bills aren't counterfeit. Most contracts don't get litigated.

I think about security, so I know what you're talking about... but there is a real line between security and fearmongering.

It's just network access, or denial of service. Nothing more.


Or a MITM attack stealing personal information?


yeah. someone might go crazy downloading shit
