Bruce Schneier featured in New York Times article

October 10, 2018


Farhad Manjoo quotes Bruce Schneier, author of Click Here to Kill Everybody, in his piece for New York Times,

“Mr. Schneier argues that the economic and technical incentives of the internet-of-things industry do not align with security and privacy for society generally. Putting a computer in everything turns the whole world into a computer security threat — and the hacks and bugs uncovered in just the last few weeks at Facebook and Google illustrate how difficult digital security is even for the biggest tech companies. In a roboticized world, hacks would not just affect your data but could endanger your property, your life and even national security.”
