  1. As someone that has been taking a few cyber defense classes, hacking is never a question of "if" but "when" it will happen.

    It's all about creating a system that takes too much time and hope the hackers will give up. Other than that making sure the company creates a good follow-up to the comprised systems will keep their good image.

  2. I play both these games well FFXIV a lot less at times now, I usually now play more D2 and I'll admit it did suck having to get booted a lot from D2 I had a feeling something funny was up a while back and now I know why.

  3. Destiny 2 is also facing lots more harassment that was detailed in another article. Random developers are getting pizza delivered to their houses now.
