We seem to hear about a major cybersecurity breach or a ransom-ware attack almost on a daily basis. And this isn’t going to change anytime soon and the main reason for that is the Internet was never meant to be used the way we are currently using it.
This is where the Internet started – Room 3420 at the University of California, Los Angeles’s Boetler Hall. This was the home of UCLA’s Network Measurement Center and back in 1969 the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) which developed the network that became the basis for the Internet. It existed as a channel for physicists to pa ..read more
