Timestamp triggered South Korea computer attack

Just imagine how safe and free from cyber attacks and spying
by any nation if no computer used winblows.

I would question the security expert....

Who is not establishing a secure tunnel via a peon account to connect to a computer before su-ing into root on the device.

Even with that setup, I think I'd rather have some means to make use of that access without having to send the root password (even encrypted through an encrypted tunnel). Possibly something along the lines of changing credentials access where one has to have a very particular security key at a very particular time.

With that - I'd want the "key" to be valid for a set period of time before expiring. You need to sync up with the computer physically to reset the expiry. So give a period of 18 hours for the key you have to expire.

Of course... all this is based on some pretty heavy security and most home users don't need quite that level :)
