So you state the obvious as though that's some sort of answer, you are obviously "steel factory computer security" qualified. (That's an insult by the way)
It's really gone too far now, from a laughable hack to a global embarrassment courtesy of Hollywood, destroyer of ethics, morals and purveyor of propaganda for decades. If you want to show weakness, asking China for help was a great way to do it, tie this fiasco in with Feinstein's "torture report" that put American lives in danger overseas and we have a clear picture of 3rd Worldism incompetence.
I started using youtube more often, and I have to say that YT and G+ and the host of services offered are such a jumble of confusing settings and functions. It's irritating, Google needs to clean it all up and offer something cohesive, functional.
If the majority of people on this planet could create a purpose for themselves there wouldn't be religion, and when robots can do everything, and do it better, the act of doing something becomes "art" and quite sad art at that.
There's this thing called "purpose" and for many what would their life be without their menial job? You think it's all going to be cake and ice cream when there is literally "nothing left to do".
I leave that point for the philosophers, a situation where all "work" is done by robots and AI's is as difficult to imagine as an infinite Universe for me.
No need to ration? So a bunch of humans lying around fucking all day and making babies, and no need to ration? let introduce you to something... "limited resources"
Animals do seem to have some "6th sense" that we just don't understand.
It's not a sixth sense, they have to pay attention their lives depend on it. Humans can do the same thing if they are in tune to their environment, and of course if their environment is the wild not the city. The city invokes a singular set of sense, that of predator and victim.
This sort of thing makes me chuckle, I grew up around a forest (and a jungle too) and we could always tell when people (or predators) were coming into our area. The birds went silent or made their warning calls, the thing is you kind of learned those sounds (or lack of) subconsciously. As we got older we made the connection, but as kids when the birds went silent so did we, listening for what it was they heard or saw.
There were a variety of other indicators for things like seasonal changes (ant nest activity etc) and we learned these things for our areas as well. So it's no surprise to anyone living near by or in the woods that animals can do this, that is if they pay attention.
Store everything offline, air gap, then the person calls in when they need the information and it can be transmitted to them at that time over an encrypted link with various other security protocols enabled (changing passwords often, large passwords or phrases, security cards, tokens, etc).
Storing it online makes it a target and you're begging for it.
What I'm saying is don't put anything you don't want to lose out there, there are ways of dealing with this safely, though admittedly inconvenient. The fact that there is concern for SCADA (and other) systems that are critical is another gigantic "duh" from the security stand point.
I ask the same question again, why put this stuff online at all? Why are critical systems for infrastructure online? Why is anything of any importance for our government and nation available to the general Internet?
The only answers I've come up with are either cost related or they want them to be targets.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday that the Obama Administration is viewing the Sony attack as a "serious national security matter" and is considering a range of possible options as a response
record hundreds of encrypted calls and texts at a time for later decryption
And that it probably applies to any encryption offered up to consumers from Google, Apple, and Microsoft, etc.
If they haven't already added a master key to their encryption, the ability to decrypt easily through a "flaw" or "weakness" would allow deniability though.

The most interesting thing here is they can print 3D in micro gravity, didn't know you could.
Why weren't the systems separated, furnace control isolated.

Rare enough, and generally it's eating the dead, newly born or lower life forms that do this.

All resources are human resources.
Wrong again they cost resources.
Predator and prey are the same species.

Socialism.

Oh and I almost forgot, if it is accessible via the "Internet" it is "out there" not "in there".
Nobody dismissed shit you stupid fucking AC, READ.... COMPREHEND...

Which shows you how vulnerable and incompetent Sony is, or who they hired for security.

Based on who was in the movie they probably were happy to pull what they saw as yet another Seth Rogen stinker.
Hyperbole is an effective technique for programming cattle, now comes the synchronized MSM assault.
