Re: Large Hadron Collider hacked

Generally Scientists(Physicists) are not Computer Security Specialists. Seeing as how they are in two totally different fields of endevor.

Secondly, generally funding is very very tight, and of course - no one wants to pay for something they don't see as important. Finally, there's the time factor - there's lots of computer stuff to do that is directly involved in carrying out the experiment, where as a firewall config is not, and so lower priority.

I'll be interested in what they do to make it harder to attack in the future.
