Rudy Giuliani Flunks the Cybersecurity Test!
Donald Trump named campaign supporter Rudy Giuilani his special cybersecurity advisor and liason to the industry. But is he really fit for the job, or is he just a patronage hire? Let’s see what the experts have to say.
Trump’s press release points out that Giuliani is the “CEO of Giuliani Partners, an international security consulting firm.” So the first step in evaluating that security, is to see how well the Giuliani Partners secured their own website!
It turns out the site fails on every level, including:
- It’s using a nine-year-old operating system, FreeBSD 6. The current release is FreeBSD 11.
- It’s using a web development language version that’s so old, the developers don’t even support it anymore, either: PHP 5.4.
- The Content Management System on top of that is also ancient. Joomla 3.1 is four years old!
Why are these very old versions a problem? It’s because security technology is constantly improving, and new ways to break into old sites are always being found. When you stick with old, unmaintained software, you’re basically hanging a sign out front asking to be broken into. It’s critically important to keep software updated, at least if you don’t want people breaking in.
Why is it a problem that his website might get broken into? The server is also hosting email. Meaning, basically, Rudy Giulani’s email is hanging as wide open as Hillary Clinton’s was.
This is his security company, with his name on it. How is he even remotely qualified to advise the President on how to secure anything?
