Right, So what happens when someone pwns the switch?
There is no switch. There never will be a switch. "Switches", in this context, are as likely as monkeys flying out of Gadi's posterior. Precisely for the reason stated by Adriel above (as well as being completely idiotic and logistically impossible). What is more likely is that some sort of system of coordination will develop wherein the federal government will be to some extent capable of contacting private network owners (which includes most 'traditional' critical infrastructure as well) and directing as much as reasonably possible response to widespread cybersecurity issues. Look out. The gummit is coming to give us all vasectomies... -chris _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
