Re: We're only in april...
>You can replace Turkey by the name of most countries and stay relevant (might need to remove "religious extremism" in some cases, or replace it by "bigotry" as you wish)
or indeed, replace the whole lot with "failure to budget and execute."
While it may be cool to sneer and attribute bad things happening to things we don't like, we have Snowden from the NSA - hardly a religiously extremist organisation (as meant in the quote), OPM - again, probably not due to backwards ideologies. Whatever you think about the US, there aren't many security professionals who think the UK or Denmark or any other place won't eventually suffer something similar. It is a major reason for not creating massive databases of PII in the first place.
That isn't to say that these things aren't a cause, but how many of them do you think you could remove and the crackers would still have done what they did?
