Well, it's nice to see we agree on something at last.

When it comes to electronics, everything is a matter of escalation. There's really no such thing as a firewall that will be perfect for all-time. As technology improves, the balance of power will change. A new hack will be found for a previously flawless defense, of a new defense will be found for a previously unstoppable hack.

The fact it took several decades for a problem like these helmets to arise is actually to the Sibyl system's credit, imo.
