Default Re: Is Always-On Always Secure?

I'm in a fix. I've to criticise the moderator. Moderator will obviousely not allow me. But I'll do it any way. I wish the message was put up by somebody else so I could discuss it because there are uissues involved. The issue involved iis not whether it is "always safe". The issue is if it is ever safe? The answer is it is never safe inspite of the devices or gasgets mentioned by the moderator. The reasons is the flaws. There has not been anything found that does not have flaws.

A Cisco employee was attending a confrence in Neveda and talked about the flaws in the software behind the Cisco routers. The employees was immediately fired and enjoined from talking about any flaws.

People are talking about flaws in browsers, flaws in applications.

What is a flaw. It is something that a hacker uses to get arround the device or the software and do his dastardly deed to do what he wanted to do. Like he may be wanting to get all the computers in your network to crash or he may be wanting to steal all the data in all your files or he may be just trying to steal your passwords or he may be setting up a mirror site and making people believe they are doing business with you. The possibilities are endless.

It's the people like the moderator who make people believe that their sites are encrypted and evedrything is safe and go ahead like nothing wrong is going to happen.

It is these people that Hackers exploit.

There is only one solution. The solution is the abandoing of this system in the favor of the system discussed at blogs that I can't give the links to. I don't know why I'm posting here.

But I find people like the moderator interesting and can't resist expressing my thoughts even though my thoughts wouldn't go beyond the moderator. I wish they would because that is the only way the surfing would always become safer and people would not have to ask the question moderator was asking.
