As one of the people whose credit card number was stolen from Netcom, I would strongly object to this. I'm not here to speak poorly of the dead, but I'm definitely here to judge those who think too highly of him.

Did this cost you money personally, or just inconvenience you?

A single card fraud scenario itself is not the only cost to credit card fraud.

Investigation costs money. Emotional health costs money.

Humans can paper over technical security problems with our sensibilities.

Hackers figurative identity and obsession with perfect system security (physically impossible) has been weaponized to abuse.

You all are not owed deference. Go touch grass. Reality does not exist for you.

Good job you all make purpose built machines do math. You read the manual. All the real discoveries to enable that were made hundreds of years ago.
