I also think you're drastically overestimating how much the average person under 50 understands about how computers and IT security work.  Most younger people know how to use apps and that's about where their knowledge ends.
good to know that even at the highest levels of our government, nobody pays attention to the IT and information security rules. >

I swear, man, the whole world is just duct tape and zip ties. >

which are fraying if we're being honest. >

If we drill some more holes in the planet, we can fit some more zipties! >

Do you think she can take it? >

She can. We won't. >

The planet's fine. The people are fucked! >

That's what they don't get. We are giving the planet a fever. There isn't a Tylenol big enough. >

I got a FEver, and the only preSCRIPtion… is more mass extinction events >

I work at a law firm. This sounds like every senior partner. >

I did an internship at the BigRed&Co last semester and one of the partners I worked under is one of those MBA/JD types.   
Refused to use his work email for anything. Only his iPhone.   
Sticky notes with his password just chilling wherever he sat. His RSA SecurID was always getting lost.   
The Smart Card that goes into the work laptop was never where he left it. The computers also used biometrics and he complained about that to the end of time. 
Cool guy though. Talked all the time of how expensive it is to buy his wife a ‘farm house in Hawaii’ >


MBA/JD types.

Is this a type? I have no exposure to the legal world so I'd love to know lol >

Haha definitely. It bridges the gap between the legal/business domains so you’d see them more in the ‘In-house/General Counsel’ category and on the consulting side he was particularly distressed debt/private credit niche :)  
As for personality: extremely smart and completely out of depth on nearly everything that wasn’t directly under their expertise haha so the notion of cybersecurity was an obstacle to that end >

Interned with a law firm as well. They're all ass holes and don't give a shit about IT rules but I liked em overall and they took me out to really fancy lunches all the time. Great humor too! >

I both love and hate this comment. Cheers friend >


The problem with the justices’ use of emails persisted in part because some justices were slow to adopt to the technology and some court employees were nervous about confronting them to urge them to take precautions, one person said. Such behavior meant that justices weren’t setting an example to take security seriously.

That sounds like a bunch of elitist old farts who act like they're gods or something. Of course everything is screwed up in the SCOTUS with that attitude. It's time to put term limits in place for justices through a Constitutional Amendment. >

It's not an age issue, it's an attitude problem that comes with percieved importance with the positions they fill.  Rules for thee but not for me... and all that >

Yeah using any sort of email/computer is 100% an issue for older people. Anyone over like 50 just doesnt understand how it works at the basic level. >

Some of us have been using computers since the 60s and PCs since the early 80s.  The people over 50 that you know or are related to are not all the people over 50. >

I know that, and youre right. I shouldnt have put a number on it and just said, in general the older someone is the less likely they are to understand how a computer works and what/how the security of said thing works.
