@susankayequinn@wandering.shop For 40y, cfaa has made unauthorized access a felony. We hackers all tapdance thru the minefield; numerous have spent years in prison (not the club-fed kind). Nail ‘em.

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Yes, and hackers unassisted by AI could shut it down, too. Not permanently, and probably not all at once, but large portions could be cut-off for hours to days, repeatedly. Securing the exterior gateway protocols which control routing of traffic between autonomous systems, the thousands of large networks which collectively form the internet, remains an interesting field of ongoing research. The greatest obstacles involved are not technical, but rather, political and economic.
