What is the most powerful computer that you had access to. I made a point of staying away from those. That was the Pacific Bell system that allowed us to drop in and monitor and control phone lines from home with the use of a computer system. I thought that being able to place my own orders was important, not to mention more reliable than the business office. Those days are gone.
People tend to get pessimistic about hacking.
I have heard some say that the good old days of boxing and such are gone. I disagree, we just have to adapt. As sure as technology advances so will hacking. It's up to the real hackers to find them. Learn from the past and move on or get busted and quit.
