Plot twist: Theres still hackers in multiplayer even with all that crap plus rootkit they bundle with.
Its gonna be really funny in a few years when we learn that TPM2 / Windows' Specific Implementation of SecureBoot has a backdoor for the NSA, just like how the Kinect did.

And uh, no, it doesn't matter if this happens intentionally via collaboration, or not, through incompetence.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Turns out my ribs don't actually care whether the boot that cracked them came from a decisive kick or because someone clumsily tripped over me.
(Also sufficiently advanced malice is often indistinguishable from incompetence by design: "oops we didn't mean to, please forgive us and we pRoMiSe we won't ~~get caught~~ do it again!")
Yep, that last part is ... basically the most important concept of running a large organization, if you're a corpo/evil bureaucrat.
The obfuscation is the point.
The 'I thought I was in compliance' is the point.
The 'this is too complex to assign blame simply'...
That is the fucking point, of designing and running a system that works in that way.
weaponized incompetence exists at basically all levels of human interaction, alas...
but it's especially shitty when corpos do it.
I really wish we'd stop fucking around and make executives regret what the people they are literally responsible for do. Their monetary compensation should be consummate with consequences--if they're making three thousand times the amount of their front-facing employees they should be three thousand times more culpable for the shit their organization pulls.
says horrifying thing
waits for reaction
If positive reaction: all good.
If negative reaction: "Calm down, it was just a joke."
Ergh this made feel kinda icky, I now want to unplug my 360 from the wall when I'm not using it even though I know the chance of them actually watching me is little more than paranoia
The NSA has something like the 5th or 6th largest data center in existance, its been around for about a decade, in Utah.
They just capture everything, they have wiretaps on all the trunk lines that feed into undersea cables going international, they work with every major ISP, basically every major city in the US has a building where there are a bunch of floors for major ISPs/TelComms, and a bunch of floors for DHS, FBI, NSA, (Not the) CIA, etc, where those trunk lines come in.
For over a decade now, the problem is that they have so much data that they don't know what to do with it, how to search through efficiently.
Or, well, that was their problem.
Enter Palantir, whose intial early whole thing as a company was developing ways to prioritizes and rapidly search through astounding amounts of data.
... You aren't paranoid enough.
If it makes you feel better, when Elon and his idiot DOGE crew did their thing earlier this year, they probably compromised, amongst many other Federal databases... SIPRNet, the superuberduper classified comm system the military uses for the most sensitive realtime digital comms.
Yeah they just fucking got a log in and then opened a shitty remote portal so they could get into it from wherever, as opposed to, you know, a secure site.
Chinese and Russian IPs were nearly instantly seen trying to barge their way in, and frankly, I think they managed to.
