Disconnected networks safe??

while private disconnected networks add to security, really it is not the total answer. It only means that an attacker would require inside help or a different kind of equipment. It is pretty naive to think that technology alone can keep us safe. Some of the breaches go far beyond "remote controlled" hacking.

Blended cyber attacks where there is a combination of remote hackers and physical spies are probably much more penetrating.

Governments, parallel governments and criminals would not abandon old proven methods. they would supplement these methods.

The only way to gain an upper hand is actually to educate and inform more people about security (cyber and otherwise) and to train many more security experts.

If we only knew what goes on? some of us would panic, some would fight and some would organise to handle reality.

It must be very tricky for the FBI, the CIA or the President to decide what to share and what not to share.

There is a point where National Security becomes anti-democratic. It seems to me that we passed that point and we are now being kept scared so that we do not question authority.
