Of course every criminal has easy access to large data centers, and stuff. Except for the federal three letter criminals, of course.

LLMs are hacking tools actively used to commit cyber crimes. They should be shut down and deleted now.


If they whine “it’s not accurate”, you’d better assume that reality is way worse…


I completely folded all services to the “inside”.


So their systems are so fucked up that they can be influenced by the very system they should monitor? Who designs such crap? The middle-school intern?


Get a used PC. Absolute sufficient for a private NAS. Can be slighly outdated, needs no monster graphics card (or none at all if it has basic on-board graphics), and runs all the peripherals you’ll ever need.


Isn’t the reason that online companies are not directly liable for the users’ contents that they are a kind of neutral publisher? When this “neutral” falls flat, aren’t they publishing their opinion, and would have to carry responsibility for that?


Multiport Knock patterns.


I know that risk, but that has been mitigated by other means. There is no open port exposed to the net waiting to be hacked. It only opens on demand for a single connection.


I’d say yes to RAID in a NAS or server in general. Just see that you don’t purchase the disks in one go - that was the only RAID in the last 30 years to fail on me (five disks within 20 serial numbers, four of them failed in total, two within a night). Was a pain in the a… to restore stuff from tape, but at least i had them.


Just the right consequence. Your system with your programming produces output that you are fully responsible for.


That is a separate issue. Hardening a single service that happens to offer a login is easier than hardening a whole bunch of services that were never intended to face the net.


What I did was setting up two routers. The outer one is a big filter, and the only packets coming in went through it.
If someone would have managed to take over this outer router, the next step would have been to probe the inner router. For this, they would send packets originating at the outer router to anything on the inside net.
This would trigger an alert on the inner router that switches a relay, cutting the power on the outer router.
If it’s on a card, ditch it and replace it with a better one. If not, and you’ve got a spare slot, buy a new card.


No. Controlling and monitoring the fridge and freezer temperature is not something left to non-technical people. Set up a company-wide VPN system, and make it secure. Run those services from a centralized place, with the control systems disconnected from the internet outside the VPN.
Run separate VPNs for financial systems, orders, company emails, and you are as set as one could expect.
Let me put it this way: I have a removable harddisk with my files from the universities’ VAX 11/780 in storage. Long enough?


Hacked? This term applied to this is an insult. The user name was “admin”, and the password changed daily - it was the current date.
This is not hacking, this is a complete and utter failure on behalf of the company who set this up, and their fault entirely.

Just another reason to block ads.
I wonder what they fear more: Their investments in AI getting worthless when the Butlerian Jihad starts or them getting hacked and crashed by AI agents.
