It predates your story by at least five years, 2007, when a Silicon Valley engineer revealed that a backbone line had been spliced and all traffic was passing to government machines.
That revelation also inspired an outraged public backlash of ‘meh.’
I read something earlier that said the explosion was the result of ‘dust compression.’ I’ve never heard of that, and suspect it’s wrong. It’s a volatile atmosphere in the proper stoichiometric ratio and a single spark could set it off.
Compression would be like a diesel engine, and i don’t see how that level of compression could occur in a silo.
If’n somebody knows more about a compression explosion in this situation, please enlighten me.
Today, like the past few days, we have had some downtime. Apparently some script kids are enjoying themselves by targeting our server (and others). Sorry for the inconvenience....
Points well made and taken, thanks. No hostility perceived at all.
Reasonable minds can differ and frequently do. And it could be that people may think my suggestion is unrealistic or even silly.
There’s no shortage of miscreants out there who just like to mess with things, thrown wrenches into spokes, etc. And these types could well be behind the daily local issues.
But here’s an important point, and no offense intended. Corporations are like The Terminator. But instead of getting Sarah Connor, they purse profits. And regardless of CEO intelligence or accumen, every Fortune 500 company has a department that deals in these areas. They all have their skunk works and use them. It’s been this way for centuries. A primer: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_espionage
So whether they’re operating here atm or not, there is nothing paranoid about assuming they are. If they’re not, they will be. It’s what they do.
It’s an important life skill, being able to plant a thought in the mind of another and in a way that is likely to be accepted.
It crossed my mind since my last writing that, in the 80s, I got a money back guarantee for any counter-surveillance equipment purchased that didn’t reveal surveillance equipment in a Fortune 100 facility. It was that pervasive back then. And my perception is that morals and business ethics have not improved in the interim. Far from it.
Good luck and thanks for the valuable, respectful input.
