From the Wall Street Journal today:


Hmm. So let's be secure, and route all activity from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau through Microsoft's cloud. Sigh. I'm not sure I even care any more. But I thought I should mention it. Link to article bypasses paywall.

For cryin' out loud...  

This relentless media reporting of security issues seems never to to actually inform...  The government and ANY business you might associate with the idea of "Big" are the source of the most egregious, non-stop, wide-scale, far reaching security breaches...  and yet they always play like it's an "us" thing... and yet.. it keeps happening over and over, and they never 'fix' anything.  One could imagine that they don't care.... as if it was an 'externality.'

People who operate at the level of securing data for thousands upon thousands, and sometimes millions of people have some the WORST security practices on the planet... and most of them are "contracted out."

"Clouds"... don't even get me started on "clouds."
