  • Ask Nicely and I'll Give You Root Access

    In the early days when the internet was born, security and anonymity
    were not terms you'd usually use in a daily conversation. Given the
    ignorance of employees access to remote systems was not seen as a
    menace, everyone was a "good citizen".

    But for faux sake! its 2026 and we have tons of people talking about
    these subjects and still, how come this happens? May be it is just
    people being distracted or in the process of stupidization.

    Certifications, regulations, good practices, post-quantum cryptography,
    etc, etc. Nothing can stop human ignorance, because ignorance is bless.

    May be we just need to ask nicely :D
