New Security Incident, New variation on this post

This time, they hacked almost every company and agency in the US.

 For the last 15 years, I keep pushing information about Multi Level Secure Systems every time another incident like this happens. The fact that we haven't been using them since the 1970s everywhere drives me nuts!

Their are Operating Systems in existence which could prevent this and almost every other breach. However, most technical people aren't even aware of the fact that they CAN exist, and actively believe the opposite.

Hopefully Genode.org will have something useable for the average programmer like me, in a year or two, and I can use that as an existence proof.

Also, there are Data Diodes to help restrict what goes where.

I think we'll finally get our act together in 2025 or so, 50 years after the first Multi Level Systems were finished.
