The Galactica was a ship from the past, non-networked and seemingly out of date. It was about to be turned into a museum when the cylons took out the rest of the fleet through a very intimate social engineering attack that took out all networked defenses. The Galactica, because of it's air gaps, become the ark that gave humanity a chance for survival.

As the physical and virtual worlds blend more and more into one another, as bits become more capable of effecting atoms, we become more like the colonies on the eve of the attack.

Have there been any demonstrations of machine learning to either detect or initiate networked systems breach? All my internet connected servers are probed by automated bots trying to brute force their way in. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

I do know our systems are very fragile and we are incredibly vulnerable. In 2016 computing is just not secure enough for the tasks we are assigning it.
