      I dunno, man. I’ve been doing cybersecurity for two decades and there are an awful lot of really stupid / ignorant / blissfully unaware people in IT across the private sector - particularly at big and older companies. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest to learn that something like this goes unnoticed. Unless you suspect a problem, if the system isn’t subject to regular audit, it could go on for years without anyone bothering to check.

      Well, without providing an in-depth breakdown of your thought process, you’re just a rando on the internet, along with all the rest of us. After all, I can say I’m the owner of Twitter if I really want.

      Nobody should ever believe anyone’s claims on here automatically. That would be a very unwise habit to get into, for anyone.

      I hope you’re right though, that would be good. It certainly makes more sense to me that this would be caught earlier, and the DoD simply wouldn’t bother telling anyone it was dealt with.

        I still remember the biggest flaw in Hayes 9600 and how to fix it, or how to set up two soundcards so that their IRQs aren’t in conflict, in DOS environment if it helps strengthening my credentials. 😎

        (Unless one of those cards is Gravis’ clone called Primax, these were often impossible to pair with good old Soundblaster).

            Appeal to authority

            I didn’t quote anyone famous or important.
