They didn't actually hit 50C, right? I read it as setting the thermostat to 50C, which basically would just turn off the cooling compressor entirely - not heat the fridge.
Why do we always talk about ai capabilities in the future tense?
What's stopping them from doing these right now? Script kiddies have basically reverse engineered the PS5 at that point, do you think state actors need better models?
Based on Bahrain’s AWS region I would expect the first decapitation strike on a country, after defensive systems, would be cloud data centres. Everything we have from hospitals to logistics to power to SCADA to retail seems to be heavily centralised.
We need more distribution for the sake of redundancy. Less large data centres and hyper scalers, more servers in a back office somewhere.
The internet itself is less of a problem. It’s where most of the traffic goes that is the problem.
There was plenty of network hacking going on pre-internet and people still figure out ways to hack air gaped computers. Security is always going to be a problem.
Also, Russia has clearly established itself as a source of failures. In the same way that Europe and Canada should be weaning themselves from the USA for lighter-duty yet valid issues, they should really further disentangle themselves from the Russian economy if possible.
Hence we need alternatives. P2P wireless (and wired) networks Freifunk, Guifi and NYCMesh are three that works today, in practice and in the real world. Contribute to them, learn from them, replicate them elsewhere, where you live.
The Russia-Ukraine war has all signs to lead the world into world war 3 if its not stopped. All these sabotage acts will continue across the globe to drag more countries into the mix. What is the UN Security council doing?. Nobody hears their efforts to stop anything
Russia lashing out beyond Ukraine is a sign of desperation, not of strength. They've destroyed their economy and have little chance of making more progress in Ukraine, and they know it. The predictions of escalation into WW3 don't seem credible to me.
What do you expect UN Security Council to do here, really? Two of the permanent members are waging offensive wars without cause, and Russia keeps vetoing anything about Ukraine, and the US keeps vetoing anything about Gaza/Israel and Iran. What exactly could they realistically do, in your opinion?
I really have no factual basis to claim this, but based on the power balances, I would say that most of "russian", "chinese", "iranian" etc cyber attacks originate (at least the command is being given), from some geographical point in North America. Langley? Pentagon? Who knows.. but false flags are your specialty..
This is going to be another "OMG AI is going to cause all these cyberattacks!11!!1!" thing that turns out to be "any child can find these on Shodan and the hardcoded can't-be-disabled Gott-tier login is admin/admin, isn't it?
Fun fact, BSI has that sending out security emails when they find a security hole. A client once got that and was on the edge. It was a bit odd, cause the article they linked to literally said this wasn't affected (so no patches existed). Really wished they didn't do that. It was OpenSSH on OpenBSD.
There were other laughable things like that.
But in a world dominated by FUD (that HTTPS connection that only allows one fingerprint needs to go over VPN, that SSH port cannot allowed to be reachable (but that gaping hole on HTTP(S) is fine), without a firewall that server is insecure, ...) that's not exactly surprising.
I do trust critique on this stuff from throwaways. The utter cheapness of manufacturing provocateurs against EU interests, mean you need to bring your reputation to be taken seriously with the potshots imho
Surprising how many of the 1000,000 males coming from rich Ukrainian families and vacationing permanently in Germany or France have time to correct European Union citizens.
The spelling changed in 2022 and is hard to remember for those who don't make a living harassing EU citizens while blackmailing them for more money. You know what? Russia and Ukraine are really made for each other.
> President of the Danish Council for Digital Security, Henning Mortensen, does not rule out that the incident may have to do with a hybrid war. In recent weeks, Danish services have warned of possible cyber attacks from Russia and raised the degree of threat to "high."
Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Russia’s modus operandi. They want to make us paranoid and suspect them every time something suspicious happens, painting a picture of some kind of super powerful actor, while always retaining plausible deniability about everything.
As in "promote linking every attack of uncertain origin to Russia thus creating the fear of widespread hybrid warfare, while focusing actual attacks on Ukraine's weapon suppliers if possible"?
It fuels the “look how the government sucks at doing its job, vote for us to “fix” the government” narrative for whoever they are propping up with money and bot farms.
Any disruption is an opportunity to inject corruption.
When your fridges hit 50C, that’s not a bug... thats a hotfix
1. Legacy firmware will be a bloodbath, leading to a consolidation of firms
2. All digital infrastructure will have an always on AI "shield" of agents that monitor and defend against attacks
3. The attacks that survive will depend on human points of failure, leading to less control for humans being the default

Now you don't know what the hell to do.

Russia can withdraw today and all the fighting would stop immediately.
>All these sabotage acts will continue across the globe to drag more countries into the mix.
Russia can choose to stop these sabotage acts immediately.
>What is the UN Security council doing?. Nobody hears their efforts to stop anything
Russia doesn't need anyone's permission to stop the war immediately.
(But also, Russia is a founder and permanent member of the UNSC, so...)
And to them, that's a bad thing.
What do you expect UN Security Council to do here, really? Two of the permanent members are waging offensive wars without cause, and Russia keeps vetoing anything about Ukraine, and the US keeps vetoing anything about Gaza/Israel and Iran. What exactly could they realistically do, in your opinion?
It is, isn't it?
Again.
[x] Outsourcing identification to Internet companies (likely US).
[x] Outsourcing operational state of equipment to Internet companies (likely US).
[x] Displacing German and Danish workers with cheaper Poles.
[x] Cyber council member floats hybrid war rather than addressing its own incompetence.
[x] News comes from Kiev instead of Copenhagen.
I beg you pardon. I'm not cheap, but I'm also not employed. You want cheap so you get it.

With quite some this is working.
