[AusNOG] RISK - IT Industry - Concern Over Equipment Being, Installed in Data Centre Facilities - Further Replies

[Skeeve Stevens]

A lot of people have this idea that everything should be openly discussed
because doing it helps us all understand the situation and we can all
contribute and solve the problem. This is a stupid idea mostly perpetrated
by people who is not the person actually at most risk or the most to lose.

Should we openly discuss, on an archived list, with press watching. how we
could use household goods to make explosives?

Or talk about how easy it is to make certain bioweapons and the different
ways we could deploy them?

Or should we perhaps talk about how easy it is to commit fraud?

Yes... lets give blueprints to people who are motived by malice so that
they can go off and do what we're suggesting puts us at risk.

Suitable forums are private industry ones with a membership criteria which
is often gated to certain professions, peer recommendations, and so on.
