Great. So now what?

Gads, we’re Neanderthals with technology. Something every single day. We were never prepared to go global and run our economies and personal lives thru all this mish-mash of electronic hooie. For every security geek there are a million ignoramuses to toy with and steal blind, personal as well as businesses and the mega-corporations (see http://marcrogers.org/2014/12/18/why-the-sony-hack-is-unlikely-to-be-the-work-of-north-korea/) And that is nothing considering our bailing-wired and duck-taped electrical grid and infrastructure.

We are so screwed.

Sounds like it is easily corrected if you run the most recent firmware/software updates. It’s a problem because most people forget to bother with them or patch them. It works so they kindof forget it’s there.
