  I’m sure it’s all just courteous white hat pen testing

As they should. Someone has to do the work to destroy the abomination fad.

This isn’t new. They have been hacking stuff for a few years now. Our company firewall blocks at least 100 hacks attempts a day, and at least 2 or 3 are from North Korea, but it’s all script kidy level stuff.

Mostly it’s Russia and India.

Cybersecurity… to protect the citizen?

I thought they already have the perfect protection.

  No it’s to exploit the cybersecurity holes of others
