In an interview reported by NetworkWorld, Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner claimed that the decentralized nature of Unite makes it more difficult for hackers to break into computer systems, not easier.
“When you’re hacking a single system, if you have everything that belongs to everyone in one location, you only need to break in once,” he said. “If you have it in different computers it’s a little more complicated. If you get into one Web server and everyone’s data is in there, that’s easier than getting into a million computers.”
