In this digital age, when a teenager with a smartphone can hack into just about anything, liberals have just discovered that nations such as China, North Korea, and Russia routinely attempt to hack into the secret information of the United States and other nations. Liberals are pretty mad about it, or they are pretending to be.
Liberal hysteria over the last few weeks suggests that our friends on the left might need a little help coming to grips with the realities of the digital age. No one can convince the left that they would have lost the 2016 election even if the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and assorted teenagers with cell phones weren’t hacking into American computers, but a better understanding of the fundamentals of cybersecurity could help our leftist luddites to make the technological leap into the 21st century. With all the talk of megabytes and encrypting and so on, computer language can be pretty scary.
Here are some tips from a non-expert using language that even the DNC can understand.
Probably the gold-medal-winning, most boneheaded, dumbest thing you can do is to use “password”as your password.
For a tougher one. What if you’re an even higher-ranking government official and you don’t want your top-secret information to get out? You should watch carefully for the .gov extension on emails. If it’s anything else, such as “hillary@nonsecurehomebrewserver.com” then don’t open it! If you do, you can assume that the intelligence community (and teenagers) in other countries have your favorite tunes, your golf schedule, and probably your nuclear codes.
