A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The wrong lesson?
I'm not sure how reducing your attack surface area is the wrong lesson here.
The wrong lesson learned was, "don't use IPv6." Which has, to a large extent, hurt the uptake of IPv6 everywhere, because "if the government doesn't use it, we're not going to use it." Rather than do something sensible, like enable the IPv6 functionality of the firewalls and configure them properly.
