It's like the difference between a bad guy hacking your system remotely
and his having physical possession. In the former case, he must come in
using specific protocols, and on a relatively slow wire. In the latter
case, he sets up an alternative OS instance to brute-force scan the
system at a speed orders of magnitude faster.

Hi Steve, nice to see you here!
What I'm wondering is if the software stored on gethub is insured or
store at your own risk?
I'm trying to find motive, there are other data storage things going on
with MS besides gethub and heaven forbid what I see forming.
Thanks,
