Prof. Alan Woodward is Wrong; The Internet is Fine

[Tiberius]

But the trouble is that idiots will still continue to use passwords like "12345."

That is irrelevant to the type of protection I am talking about, and what Prof. Woodward was talking about.

Right, which is why I say that even some new "totally secure" internet won't be totally invulnerable from hacking.

Like I said in the article, it isn't the protocols that are insecure; in fact most of them are based on some of the most secure algorithms we have. It is the applications (e.g. websites) that need securing.

Applications on the Internet get hacked; the Internet itself doesn't.
