Cryptome does not pretend to provide illusory security, that is
security.
It is a vile, rotten, corrupt endeavor, like life. Chuckle.
Visitors, readers, consumers must be skeptical of security, and not
rely
upon security promoters, their followers and investors who exploit
dependency by fear uncertainty and doubt.
Skepticism of security claims and methods is one of the purposes of
these lists. Perhaps the main purpose, although it is commonplace
for
these lists to be used for soliciting befuddled consumers to hop
aboard
the gravy train. Now and then skeptcism of the security arises but is
usually
suppressed during times of crisis when incentive is rich to promote
poor
products and services. Governments, commerce, orgs, experts
cooperate
to foster crises under guise of opposition.
This applies to all forms of security, safety, protection, defense,
hygienic
pharma.
Still, Cryptome endorses the continuing struggle to improve citizen
protection, not only as a job, career, industry, but as citizens'
obligation
to bear responsibility for the commonweal against its inside and outside
enemies, if you will, common math against the deadly germs.
One way to do that is to not oversell it, tone down the threats,
reduce
drumbeating, avoid hyperbole for and against, forego advertising,
gang-bang hectoring, circle jerk conferencing, TEDing, prize
bestowing,
to quietly invent, improve, critique, test, apply, re-test often, expect
to
be deceived by colleagues witting or unwitting, especially by sales,
politicians, authoritarians -- the persistent germs.
