Military submarine maker springs leak after “hack”—India, Oz hit dive alarm

INT WTF! Good Damn Questions. When some Hack starts broadcasting your Submarine Technology, you have a problem. My French Ancestors are rolling in their graves.

I am not a cyber-security "expert". However, I had a lot of experience (before I retired) setting up websites and portals for multinational corporations and focused a lot of attention on security. One of the biggest problems, especially with portals that give users a single point of access to many systems, is that each system has different security protocols. Thus, we had to layer a separate secure entry point on top and teach the other systems to trust it. The problem with this approach is much like putting on body armor. No matter how strong the body armor, the body beneath it is vulnerable. Thus, to secure a computer system, security must be built into the core of the system, not just wrapped around it. Once upon a time, the military and government agencies used collaboration and communication software with some of the best security (dual-key encryption). I advised most civilian organizations to use it as well. Sadly, they were wooed by Microsoft and replaced the secure systems with Exchange email and other Microsoft collaboration software which is highly vulnerable, then attempt to wrap security around it. Now, I've been gone for some time now. Are government bureaucracies and military branches also abandoning dual-key encryption for Microsoft systems?
