NSA Hacker Chief Explains How To Keep Him Out of Your System (wired.com)

Posted by timothy on from the disinterested-party dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Rob Joyce, the nation's hacker-in-chief, took up the ironic task of telling a roomful of computer security professionals and academics how to keep people like him and his elite corps out of their systems. Joyce himself did little to shine a light on the TAO's classified operations. His talk was mostly a compendium of best security practices. But he did drop a few of the not-so-secret secrets of the NSA's success, with many people responding to his comments on Twitter.

    It seems like the only linked article is relevant to the Slashdot story immediately preceding this one...

    Must be the new owners of Slashdot, working hard to correct the persistent problem the prior owners with duplicate stories getting posted, all the time. Now, the duplicate links will get posted in completely different stories, going forward!

    I was worried at first that this wasn't really news, but then I saw the summary said that people responded on Twitter, and now I know it's important.
