In April 1967, just before the ARPANET's rollout, an engineer named Willis Ware wrote a paper called 'Security and Privacy in Computer Systems' ... warning that once users could access data from multiple locations, people with certain skills could hack into a network—and after hacking into one part of the network, they could roam at will. Stephen Lukasik, ARPANET's supervisor, took Ware's paper to his team and asked what they thought. The team was annoyed. They begged Lukasik not to saddle them with a security requirement. ... Let's do this step by step, the team said. It had been hard enough to get the system to work; the Russians wouldn't be able to match it for decades.
