Trump's solution to cyberattacks: Send info via courier
President-elect Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday that messages "should be sent via courier like in the old days" to ensure security.
"It's very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old fashioned way because I'll tell you what, no computer is safe," Trump responded when asked about the importance of cybersecurity, according to pool reporters.
"I don't care what they say, no computer is safe. I have a boy who's 10 years old, he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier," Trump reiterated.
