  • 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.












  • yes it’s actually important to understand how money moves

    I claimed credit cards protect consumers. You countered with "For example we know things like card skimmers " Once I explained that consumers are still protected you tried to make it about the process of a credit card company recovering their money which has fuck all to do with consumer protection. You invented a personal definition for fraud not because you don’t speak English but because your claim that crypto protects against fraud was bad.

    You are not arguing in good faith.



  • I’m not questioning the end user impact lmao

    Their internal mechanisms and work with police work is irrelevant to me as a consumer. It is therefore irrelevant for you to bring it up.

    You are arguing that a new car warranty doesn’t exist because a dealership has to pay a mechanic to fix the defective car they sold. You are ridiculous.

    I’m from Texas, I am a licensed financial professional

    Then you god damn know the actual definition of fraud not your silly redefinition.

    Gtfo.


  • You must know that’s not actually how it works,

    That is exactly how it works. A credit card isn’t a debit card. I have had my card number stolen. I saw weird charges on my card, called my credit card company and they reversed those charges immediately. No arguing was necessary because credit card companies work for you. Again this is a credit card, not a bank debit card.

    That is something that could be done with crypto as well.

    It can’t be done with crypto because you are transferring direct. You would need someone in between in which case you have reinvented banking.

    Your edit isn’t fraud, it’s scamming lol

    I’m getting the impression you aren’t in the US or British and don’t speak English natively. This could be why we are having problems communicating.
