I wasn't sure if I should post this in the "General (non *Nix)" or "Linux security" section, but I chose the latter.
It is Applebaum's talk about IT security from the end of 2003:
"To Protect and Infect. The militarization of the internet, Part II"

I suspected such dramatic state of IT security, but this exceeded my speculations by quite far, especially in regards to some stuff he mentioned.
I'm sorry, but I just found RMS' presentation that refers to this, so I'm adding it: "Freedom in your computer and in the net" from (I believe) 29th December 2014.
