No Honour Among Scammers

from here

There really isn't any honour among spammers so there's little reason to click those unsubscribe links on actual spam. Better instead to report the spam to an organization like Knujon.

Watch hackers break into the US power grid

Watch on YouTube

I think it's really interesting to see how much is involved outside of typing away madly at a computer the way hacking is normally represented in TV and movies. Just think, these guys could have thrown your entire region into darkness if they had been maliciously inclined.

from here

Security is so broad that it shouldn't even be considered a single field. It's more accurate to think of it as a collection of many quasi-related fields. A person can have expert knowledge in one of those fields but not all of them, and more often than not it seems they fail to recognize their own ignorance in those other fields they don't have expert knowledge in.
