Win an Internet!

I can already see the flaws in it

Security flaws prove that the way the internet works needs a complete re-think, Professor Alan Woodward argues

There will ALWAYS be security flaws in the net. There is no avoiding it. As far as "re-think the net"...well....isnt that ALWAYS happening every second of every moment in this cosmos?

Last year, the level and ferocity of cyber-attacks on the internet reached such a horrendous level that some are now thinking the unthinkable: to let the internet wither on the vine and start up a new more robust one instead.

All the more reason not to go on the net as a n00b. The net will NEVER wither on the vine. The net is the culmination of many, MANY things: free speech, creativity, sex porn and fucking rock and roll man! The net IS the reflection of humanity. For every single security code written, someone, somewhere, can hack the bitch. You might as well suggest building a lock out of 'unobtainium'. It isnt going to happen.

I was one of those. However, recently the evidence suggests that our efforts to secure the internet are becoming less and less effective, and so the idea of a radical alternative suddenly starts to look less laughable

The net isnt something you can just "hit the reset button" with. The net is a commune. To hit a reset button on this would mean forcing everyone to comply with the wishes of the very few or you. It is an evolution. A radical alternative is EXTREMELY laughable from my current standing.

One example of struggling security comes from Neira Jones, head of payment security at Barclaycard. She told me that in the UK alone, identity fraud costs more than £2.7bn every year and affects over 1.8 million people.

The net is not thief proof? My stars and gardens, who would have ever thunk it? In fthe banks dont want to get robbed then i suggest they no longer deal online. Whats that? They have to? Then they better be on their toes. Kill or be killed...especially if they want to fuck people over. Fuck over enough nerds and they will fuck your entire system to shit.

We also increasingly have other forms of cyber-attacks from political activists (so called 'hacktivists'), and cyber-espionage and warfare, where the internet has become another stage for global conflict between nations.

A casual glance through youtube will reveal people handing out death threats as if they are penny chewing gum. Also, what side are you relating to? Is it okay if your country hacks into other countries computers in the guise of "protecting the crown", but those who do the same on the other side are bad? honestly dude, how about a reality check? This is reality. This is a CONNECTION, not a standard that YOU get to chose. We humans are fighting over who sets the standard, as always.

More coming soon...
