A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not exactly true. Upstream could just disconnect the user for example at the ISP. One could also just disconnect whole countries if needed. We just do not take these these things seriously.
Similarly white hats could be scanning for vunerabilities and patching them when found before they could be exploited.
Similarly one could require all internet facing stuff to have an auto update feature.
Just saying many things could be done.
