Nothing new, interesting and especially not shocking about it all... Except, perjhaps, that someone otherwise so apparently smart as Cory Doctorow hasn't heard of appropriate separation of tasks and resources before -- that was exactly what his father's mainfarme-generation IT geeks did, so he should have been aware of it all his life. It is exactly what "least privilege", etc, etc, etc is all about. Yes -- most IT shops have been too stupid/lazy/cheap to provide multiple network and multiple client computer setups, where appropriate, since desktop computers became common and networking (more or less) universal, but it's not because the concept was unknown...
