Food for thought.....
given that Ames was willing to sell the entire CIA Soviet Ops network
for a measly $2 million, large industrial users should consider how
much it will cost to get they keys for, say, GM's design networks,
or GE's new medical imaging technology, or etc, etc, etc.
the rubes currently designated to hold the keys aren't currently
being picked to deal with that kind of pressure and temptation....
seems to me such breaches are essentially a certainty.
