Prez hopeful Donald Trump is probably on the phone right now asking Bill Gates how to close down the Internet, following another breach of security in his hotel chain's credit card systems. If the latest KrebsOnSecurity report is accurate, it would be the second breach of the presidential candidate's hotel chain systems in …
First, it's irrelevant that it is Trump. One may as well be saying the same thing in regards to Home Depot or TJ Max or any number of other hacks. It will give Trump haters some pleasure though.
Pretty soon there will be list of those who haven't been hacked yet. It will be the shorter list.

I daresay that it probably all ready is shorter. Seems the time between the attack starting, being carried out, and finally discovered is growing. It's the discovery part that is getting deeply troubling as I'm sure there's lot of companies that will at some point pop their heads up and go..."oh... we got attacked, but we do take security seriously" and that will be a few years after the attackers and come and rode off into the sunset with the goods. Clueless they are and more are joining those ranks everyday in the name of profit and ignorance.
'Lol. Perhaps he can also visit the Acme "strap a giant rocket to your back" factory.'
I think they were recently bought out by SpaceX. What Musk was really after was their ant-gravity technology. Only problem is as soon as you realize it's working it stops working. Some quantum-state-observer thing.
The solution to your security problem is as simple as it is Obvious, because you yourself, in all you omnipotent magnificence, have already thought of it :
Just build a great wall around your security systems. and ask the Mexicans to pay for it, which they will obviously do without complaint, mainly because you are such a nice person.
Your obedient servant,
Pete
No, the Mexicans only want to pay for this wall. The hackers will want to pay for this wall for him. Maybe they'll show up and build it for him, flash-mob style...
...Quite a few people would be willing to help with this wall on the condition that he is inside when it is built. It would be the tallest, most secure wall on the planet...
Ohh the political bitcheness.
Lets be right, it's either a dodgy employee(s) or malware on a card processing terminal(s).
Either way, Trump has fuck all to do with it other than in name...
If people are going to vote/not vote for Trump, then do it for the right reasons, not because someone has hacked his payment system...
As another commetard correctly stated, Trump isnt somehow unique in having his system hacked.. He is just very high profile at the moment.
How's this for the right reason?
He's probably going to continue to push for weakening privacy, encryption, security, etc, even after this incident. We don't need somebody who's this clueless about the importance of security and privacy in IT bossing the IT industry around. The prospect of a PHB with the power to change the law to his whim is horrifying in all its aspects.
Nope, you're quite right that the president can't change the law. He can ask congressmen to submit bills for vote, but can't do it himself. That said though, Trump himself seems to *think* he can change the laws on his whims, or at least has been using the ability to do so as one of his main campaigning points, so it's not surprising that people get the wrong idea
Oh but, you are both wrong. Look up executive order. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order. Wars have been fought upon executive order, including the 1999 Kosovo War during Bill Clinton's second term in office. Kennedy used it against Cuba, and Bush used it to restrict funding for stem cell research; as a matter of fact it was one of his first acts upon taking office. The executive order is one of the most powerful tools in the president's arsenal. All it takes is the stroke of a pen and bamm, we have a new law. I admit that there are some restrictions, but never under estimate a president's legislative power.
Can all Trump owned places, please put a large picture of his face on the entrance door.
That way people can easily choose to not go in......then again they may get a fair few doors kicked in.
Ok, back to the drawing board for a better idea, that does not encourage violence.
(I really thought I was on to something there, but when you think things through.............)
All Hail POTUS TRUMPUS!!! All Hail POTUS TRUMPUS!!! All Hail....
sorry! SORRY! It's only a Comb-over...
I, for one, Welcome our new Carrot-Faced Overlords and bid them Welcome to the Planet Earth.
Please, Mr. Trump, tear down that Internetz. It's nothing but a Glass Teat with Moving Partz...
