SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Sacramento Regional Transit is the one being taken for a ride on this night, by a computer hacker. That hacker forced RT to halt its operating systems that take credit card payments, and assigns buses and trains to their routes.

We need common sense hacking control.

Nah, we should remove firewalls because they don't always work. Nothing can be done to stop hacking. No laws will work.

Too bad CA is against erecting walls, they might be able to keep the illegal hackers out.

We just need responsible counter hackers to stop the illegal hackers. And any laws will just negatively impact the responsible hackers. Which would severely outweigh any benefits that would be received from hindering the illegal hackers.

Why put up cheap, virtual walls and pass common sense laws when you can spend billions in taxpayer money on gargantuan physical structures? I think that's what you're trying to say

Nope, CA is against virtual walls, physical walls, all kinds of walls. Walls are seen to be impediments to all people and are therefore racist, homophobic, sexist, and all other -ists. Open borders both virtual and physical, it's the only "fair" way.

A virtual wall is symbolic of a physical wall and therefore not allowable.

Good thing people that ride public transportation don't have credit cards

Hopefully they didn't hit the ebt scanner too

Yeah that's taking it too far but doesn't justify a border wall in any sense

It's funny you say this... Because it's exactly what happens.

I'm well aware. Part of the reason I said it.

Kinda like the UC Berkeley Professor on Fox Business News just now with the stunning research findings: Sleep is universal to all mankind!
