Are we realy held ransom?

I asked a legitimate question, you illiterate twit.

BP isn't really good at anything that requires...well...thinking.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to excel at anything that requires a hint of logic.

You're being insensitive, it's pronouns are xi/Xhi/ tree. What the fuck is wrong with you white devil?

So why can't the federal government do something directly useful and distribute to the masses a flashcard containing programs to block ransom ware? Better than a bunch of private companies selling half assed products for an inflated price while competing against each other. Just saying.

You want the federal government to nationalize the IT security business?

You believe the federal government is capable of stopping cyber-crimes but chooses not to do do, and you you're OK with them having "a book detailing my life from cradle to grave, listing friends, family, phone calls, net sites visited, school records medical records, etc.".

Why don't private companies and universities get ransomware aid from the government.

They don't respond well to those kinds of questions.

[RB 60]

Yes, I've noticed that.

Cyber crimes and the Cyber war that we are in whether we like it or not because China and Russia and North Korea have dictated it, well all that has not been a priority for our failed elites.

We are now hopelessly behind.

We are so fucked.

Ransom ware started out as primarily a low level thing crime, if memory serves me correctly. Individual PC owners in America were screwed over at random. Now it's a weapon. Unreal.

[Taichiliberal]

Why aren't they developing it?

Come again?

[Taichiliberal]

You tell me. DUH!










Universities and private industry are who develops this shit.
It's not the government's job to develop it, it's their responsibility to use it to protect this country.

Just to be clear...are you saying that ransom ware was developed by private industry and universities, and there fore should foot the bill for counter measures?

Is that what you think he said?

[AProudLefty]

You think they won't put a backdoor in?

Here's the thing: the NSA, CIA, FBI and Lord knows how many other alphabet security and law enforcement agencies have access to some of the most powerful and sophisticated computers in the world. They can hand me a book detailing my life from cradle to grave, listing friends, family, phone calls, net sites visited, school records medical records, etc.

And yet this "ransom ware" seems to be the unbeatable software program that can bring the country to it's knees

I ask myself the same question........so they come up against a foreign bank that refuses to release the identity of the hackers who own the account the money went in to..........obviously we say to the bank, "we regret to inform you that you may no longer receive money transfers into or out of the US"......and then we say to the bank "I'm sorry, what do you mean that all of your deposits seem to no longer exist. Yes, we realize that all that money now seems to belong to us, but we have no idea how that happened and aren't really that interested in finding out. Have a good day,"........hopefully every other country in the world does the same.....how long before this is no longer a problem?......

I don't think he really thinks that's what he said......
