If you are a high value target, then "hackers" will get access to your data anyways, and will extort you. Those "hackers" will just speak different accents :).

Thanks for that information, never heard of data diodes before.

Crazy, that such a seemingly simple idea was only realized as recently as 2015.

That's my point. Don't just use one of the unprotected services that get unencrypted data. They will use your data for their gains. The goals they use them for will just be different, depending on which country it is.

I think that's obvious, since the days of telnet/rsh.
