>BERLIN (AP) — German conglomerate ThyssenKrupp says it suffered a "massive" and sustained cyberattack aimed at stealing industrial secrets.
>The company said Thursday it was "a professional attack which according to our information can be attributed to a group in Southeast Asia."
>ThyssenKrupp says the attackers targeted its Industrial Solutions unit and some data appeared to have been stolen.
>The Essen-based company says that particularly sensitive departments, such as its naval and power plant units, are specially protected and weren't affected by the attack.
>German weekly WirtschaftsWoche reported that the attack lasted six months before it was successfully fought off.
>Last month Deutsche Telekom suffered a large-scale outage after its network was attacked by a so-called botnet comprised of millions of hijacked internet-connected devices, including fridges, televisions and heating systems.
>when refrigerators attack no one is safe
This a major disadvantage of IOT devices. Why does a fucking fridge need internet?

What does today's company have to do with that?
Remember the remade battlestar galactica? their military commanders were so spooked of cylons getting access to their info and their networks that their battlestar computer systems weren't networked - a separate independent computer system for each section/module of their ships.
you'd think that paranoia is so deeply rooted in their fear of cylons that its almost laughable.
its not laughable now, is it? no cylons here, though. just your friendly neighbors taking a peek at how you do things, and learn how to make them better than you.

This is why it's a good idea to have America's nuke silos operating with 1980s computers running COBOL off floppy disks.

I didn't even need to look and I knew it was China. They did the same thing here in the US.
