This is one of the reasons why many people believe a war with Russia is so stupid: our entire infrastructure – both public and private – has been made super high-tech and can easily be hacked.
Just as an example, there is no city in Russia where all of the emergency sirens can be set off at one time by a hacker, and yet, probably in almost every city in America this can be done.
Dallas officials blame computer hacking for setting off emergency sirens throughout the city early Saturday.
Rocky Vaz, director of Dallas’ Office of Emergency Management, said that all 156 of the city’s sirens were activated more than a dozen times.
Officials don’t know who was responsible for the hacking, but Vaz said “with a good deal of confidence that this was someone outside our system” and in the Dallas area.
The city has figured out how the emergency system was compromised and is working to prevent it from happening again, he said. It’s a “very concerning” issue that Dallas has never faced.
Although Vaz said that identifying who sounded the sirens will be like “finding a needle in a haystack,” Mayor Mike Rawlings said authorities will “find and prosecute whomever is responsible.”
“This is yet another serious example of the need for us to upgrade and better safeguard our city’s technology infrastructure,” Rawlings said. “It’s a costly proposition, which is why every dollar of taxpayer money must be spent with critical needs such as this in mind. Making the necessary improvements is imperative for the safety of our citizens.”
It’s actually an example of the opposite.
We need to be downgrading our infrastructure, removing these techno-bobbles from it, returning to reasonable manual systems.
There is no point at which digital systems become “so advanced” that they cannot be hacked, because hacking develops at the same speed as the technology itself. In fact, the more complex a system, the more difficult it is to secure it, all things being equal (though security also develops along with other systems).
The amount of money saved on digitizing an alarm system must be minuscule, yet comes with massive risk. None of this was thought through.
