I've known 14 year olds who were more proficient at anti/sec than professionals with PhDs. But yes, otherwise. I'm not sure how secure either. A UK citizen got...DoD? access on 56K claiming he's on the spectrum and was searching for UFO info, too. I would hope it's come a long way since then, but who knows. I'm not really sad about five eyes becoming four eyes, either, and in general think governments shouldn't be spying on their own citizens without warrants, let alone average citizens of other nations, but that jinn is loosey goosey, now.
On the other hand, we've done a lot of damage, globally, and yes, this is going to be a wild ride.
