In an essay published on his personal blog [doxpara.com], security researcher Dan Kaminsky is starting to sound the alarm about the extraordinary damage we face from infrastructure attacks. Forget patching infrastructure. We need infrastructure, over time, to become a lot safer and easier to update, Kaminsky said. That means automatic update isn t just for desktops anymore, that firmware patches need to have a much higher likelihood of not bricking the hardware, and possibly, that we need fewer builds with more testing for the new production environment.
