NSA Considers Its Networks Compromised

Orome1 writes "Debora Plunkett, head of the NSA's Information Assurance Directorate, has confirmed what many security experts suspected to be true: no computer network can be considered completely and utterly impenetrable — not even that of the NSA. 'There's no such thing as "secure" any more,' she said to the attendees of a cyber security forum sponsored by the Atlantic and Government Executive media organizations, and confirmed that the NSA works under the assumption that various parts of their systems have already been compromised, and is adjusting its actions accordingly."

yeah, I mean who really needs a firewall anyway.... I run my computers unpatched with all the ports open. They are much faster and more reliable that way. None of that antivirus nonsense to deal with and I stay virus free since the botnets duke it out for who gets control. It saves time when shopping online too, as I don't even have to tell the nice people my credit card info - they all already know it! It is especially useful when they send me great offers by email for replica rolex watches and discount prescriptions as I don't even have to search for the best prices!

You're actually cutting edge. You've out-sourced your personal information security and set up a fully flexible payment schedule to support it. You're clearly executive material and deserve that Rolux you've had your eye on.
