Denial is Usually Dangerous
In the past, I’ve written about the dangers of denial. As we try to cope with the coronavirus (and now there is a new mutation that is more infectious, though not more lethal, fortunately), denial of the danger causes people to fail to take the necessary measures to protect themselves and others.
More Trouble
As if this is not trouble enough, it has been discovered that networks of the federal government and many large corporations have been hacked by a foreign nation (believed to be Russia).
According to Thomas P. Bossert (a former homeland security adviser to presidents Bush and Trump) the cybersecurity company, FireEye, whose mission is to protect the government from hackers, has, itself, been hacked. And Solar Winds, a company that provides software to government agencies and large companies, was also hacked. This means that tens of thousands of governmental and business entities are now at risk. Bossert says that “the magnitude of this ongoing attack is hard to overstate.”
He says that the Russians have had access to a number of entities for over six months and that they can destroy or alter data and impersonate other people. It will be “staggering” to undo the damage, especially as the Russians will now be able to watch us as we try.
The Implications are Frightening
What if the Russians decided to disable everything: our electrical, water and internet systems? It would be a throwback to caveman days. Our government has, of course, been aware for years that this could possibly happen; and now it seems that it could become a reality, if the Russians so chose. (Hopefully they may have good reasons not to, e.g., fearing a retaliatory cyberattack from us.)
There are Times When Denial is Helpful
When it comes to COVID, denial is bad. It would prevent us from taking measures that will protect ourselves and others. But in the case of the Russian hack, all we can do is to make sure our survival supplies are up to date. Beyond that, we are helpless. It is up to the government and the cybersecurity establishment to deal with this situation. Once we have done the little that we can to prepare for a possible catastrophe, it is actually in our interest to use denial; otherwise, we would be constantly fearful. (Using denial isn’t something we decide to do; it happens out of our awareness.)
