I really hate that the exaggerated future of Watchdogs is becoming reality but not the exaggerated group of highly experienced black hat hackers doing crazy post compromise shenanigans that would make national news.

The problem is the same reason why a Robin Hood type of character already doesn’t really exist in modern history. There will always be thousands of highly skilled people in defense of the very system you wish to see dissolved.

You would need the resources of at least a highly advanced APT, which often means you’re funded by a nation state which has very specific compromise goals.

Everyone else falls into cybercrime, which is much less sophisticated and is almost always after money.

Hence why most highly publicized attacks end in bitcoin ransoms.

EDIT:

Also at the risk of giving too much info about my career, big banks are absolutely notorious for having extremely tight security. Even if you managed to jump over the custom EDR, pivot your way through a massive amount of proprietary systems, and land in a suitable position to carry out the motherload of a supply chain attack, the bank could just halt their infrastructure and manually nullify whatever transactions they want with full backing from the government.

The closest I ever hypothetically witnessed was being able to manipulate the loan data for a small credit union. And emphasis on hypothetical, a real attacker would have needed some hard internal access to a heavily restricted subnet.

The only way I can see this successfully happening is like if the Chief Network Architect of say Chase also happened to be a highly competent hacker who uses his decades of experience to formulate a plan with an APT over the course of several years.

I miss unmonetized youtube in general. Too many channels make it big and end up committing to youtube as a profession which leads to burn out or a significant drop in video quality.

Youtube’s (and Facebook) revenue system incentivizes content that gets lots of views in a very short period of time, and way too many people get hooked after seeing the cash flow from a handful of good uploads.

And the revenue provided is a minimized running cost for Google, YouTube takes home a fat 11 billion dollars a year in profit.

Darknet Diaries: lmao we live in a surveillance state

Lol weren’t they just running a ton of feel good headlines about providing asylum to Iran’s women football team that would “save” them from the regime at home.

Of which I think only 4 decided to opt for it.

I know its the same ol map but the abstaining countries speaks a lot more to their current relationship with the US.

His announcement reminds me of the fake Hitler broadcast on Hogan’s Heroes where they proclaim Germany is winning rhe war but negotiations are happening lol.

I read the title in the same voice as youtube’s “That’s how the law works.”

Still got nothing on Moonshell 2

If it makes you feel better, Pakistan’s insanely corrupt utility companies run a scam tax for every kw you provide to the grid, so you only earn like 15% of the actual power’s worth, and only after you pay an exorbitant fee to install a reversible meter.

So now everyone skips the meter and has started installing tons of batteries to completely bypass the grid lol. Like every house and even villages are wired for solar, but the crappy utility companies still do rolling blackouts to pretend there’s a shortage of supply.

Even funnier, the batteries reach ROI in only 3 years, and they still fetch good money when you go to recycle them due to the precious metal value.

I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback

Remember when a couple of critical CVEs went unnoticed and unpatched after disclosure because no one from Microsoft actually reads the insider hub lol.

It was the only one that survived along with lmao

RIP roflcopter

BRICS replacing USD is like how we declare every year the year of the linux desktop lol.

When USD goes down, its gonna bring down the world with it lol.

How in the actual hell do you stage a mk82 slamming into the ground?

What did RT roll up to the Russian AirForce and ask them to fly all the way to Lebanon to drop the equivalent payload behind a staged reporter and hope he survives?

I used to rule the world [Unregistered HyperCam 2]

Still a better experience than reddit lol

Buddy chill its not that deep. He flew too low and in the range of an IR missile battery that they failed to spot as part of their SIGINT. That’s why they have video, he was so close that radar stealth literally would not matter. It even explains the small missile warhead size.

And DAS missile detectors have been pretty awful at being able to detect missiles due to their tiny package size. There’s no gg ez RWR for passive tracking missiles.

They’re flying sorties more brashly because they thought AA was taken care of, which is how this ambush succeeded.

Yes it’s defnitley a first for successfully hitting the F-35, but this isn’t some groundbreaking concept. It would have been huge news if they targeted the F-35 at a BVR range with active tracking like with a radar or data link solution.

Like I said, I’m sure the soldiers were super excited that they got a hit, but they would defnitley have preferred to have scored a full kill with a pilot ejection and subsequent capture.

I would be so incredibly mad as the AA battery cmdr if I witnessed a direct hit and the jet just continued to fly lol.

I can literally see the War Thunder “hit” message

I know there was a lot of AI slop memes about Netanyahu being dead but I think Iran successfully killed one of their leaders or at the very least injured someone important which is why he went into hiding for a week.

Israel has been underplaying the damage from Iranian missiles, and now that their air defense is degraded, Iran can carry out strikes with much less ammo.

I think Trump will seriously threaten with nukes but he won’t actually use them because Russia will MAD back Iran.

Otherwise they would genuinely consider using tactical nukes for instant victory.
