I accidentally saw a youtube ad today. It was a fake product with ai video and voice over. Complete scam. It was several minutes unskippable so i assume that’s expensive. They must be hoping to scam a lot of people. I had no idea it had gotten so bad.
I worked on new SCADA for a water company across all theirs sites. Previously they were a mismatch of different systems and all airgapped.
They standardised everything and put them all on VPN. Suddenly you could access the secure water treatment works with 24/7 security guards and the control room was a bunker, from the unmanned rural sewage works with a portacabin for the server, the key hidden under a brick, and wifi for the PLCs.
The sewage works had always operated like that because it was deemed low risk. No one considered the VPN changed the threat model.
Me too and it’s probably 15 years+ since i played it. It was just subconscious “kotor” appeared in my head and several seconds i caught up and agreed 🤣
We’re good at pattern recognition. That can’t be bad
