Severity: Critical Mood: Ridiculous

Home security giant ADT has managed to compromise the physical safety details of 5.5 million people, proving once again that irony is alive and well in the IT sector.

Protecting what’s left of our privacy requires us to reassess every single infrastructure dependency, because clearly, paying for security doesn't actually guarantee that anyone is bothering to lock the back door.
