  • I’ll try an analogy to explain better. The firewall is a lock on the door to your house. Vlans are a rule that to go from one room to another, you must go back out the locked door and back in.

    So an attacker tries to come in and can’t pick the lock. You are safe.

    Another attacker can pick the lock and get into a room. But if they can pick the lock for one room, they can pick the same lock again and get into any other rooms because it’s the same lock protecting every room in the house.



  • if you allowed that to happen you either did not set firewall rules strict enough

    The argument was that the vlans force a device through the firewall so that the firewall can protect it. But for that to happen, like you said the firewall wasn’t strick enough or didn’t have a defense against a 0 day.

    So the vlan doesn’t do anything either way. Either the firewall works in which case you don’t need vlans to force local traffic through them a second time or they don’t work in which case again the vlan did nothing.











  • The security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.

    There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.

    I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.

    It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.
