that’s just it… any vulnerable system lets them get their nose in the door, then the camel starts snooping around the tent for whatever it can get. Eventually, they find away to something juicy.

The thing is, whether we’re talking about digital or physical security, the weakest thing in any system is the humans. The sloppy passwords (c’mon it should have been Louvre25! lol.) is a human thing. clicking that phising scam is a human thing. kipping off to the egyption bedroom for tryste with receptionist is a human thing.

the simple password isn’t the problem. The people being complacent is.

the Target hack went in through the HVAC system.

At least it wasn’t the default password.

I’ve known clients that have never removed the default admin account, with a default admin password… and looked at me like I had a horn growing out my ear…

Usually, there’s a network for IP cameras, with a central server holding the video. There’s then, usually, a firewall to anything outside that, and frequently just a hardline to a monitoring system. (another computer with lots of monitors, typically.)

Most modern systems can VPN to the firewall and run a client there via remote desktop, and then access the monitoring system that way; but the server itself is not.

As to the complexity of the password, typically there’s different levels of permissions. The basic ones would just let you monitor real time, probably review recordings, and maybe rip those recordings. (but not change settings, or otherwise delete anything.) A place like the Lourve would have multiple guard stations connecting in on the local network; with dozens of guards watching cameras at any given time; and would each need their own account/logins if you wanted to make the password actually complex.

a large part of the problem is just the sheer amount of people that would need to have acounts- the lourve says they have ~1300 ‘reception and security’ staff. (for the record, reception would also be part of the security envelope… though they probably wouldn’t need the password.)

anyone dialing in from off sight would likely have their own password (and have elevated permissions to allow that.). Frequently, by remote desktoping into a system on the local network.

You’ll also notice theyre not saying the security system was actually compromised- even if the cameras were pointed the right way, they’d still have gotten in and out because the windows were a point of vulnerability. They might have been able to respond faster, but they were in and out in ten minutes. a camera wouldn’t be able to stop that, if you account for normal human reaction times… if they’d even notice the ‘contractors’.

Biden was one of the largest recipients pro-Israel bribes in us politics.

It’s unsurprising that this was true. It’s also unsurprising that it’s coming out now, after it’s too late to do anything with it.

a running joke?

Bruh, he can barely waddle.

great way to teach kids to keep secrets, break the law, and access the internet discretely, though.

Who is lobbing nukes?

It’s the same people. (No one.)

They probably* don’t even have launch vehicles for the warheads they do have. That particular branch of their military isnextremely corrupt, with people selling everything they could off on the black market. Including, apparently, launch fuel.

I would find it surprising if they could mass produce them in any meaningful quantity.

(*not something I’m willing to bet on, to be clear. This is one of those plan for the worst case. The worst case is probably they sold off a portion of warheads to the highest bidder a la Sum of All Fears but the rest are all operational.)

Does satan tolerate a big ol bowl of pasta?

Asking for a friend.

the Iron Dome, which is what trump wants to install (and calls the Golden Dome) was never meant to stop ICCBM missiles. It’s a system designed to catch the relatively short ranged rockets being used by Hamas and other missiles.

Trump is a moron.

To put the system into perspective, Israel has about 8,500 square miles of landmass. the US? 3.2 million.

did Starmer figure out that Facial Rec wasn’t working?

Protip: if you’re having to take bets between adults and the horny kids getting porn… bet on the horny kids.

The problem with abstinence isn’t that it doesn’t work.

It’s that people are horny and simply don’t abstain.

I consider it to be that she’s been so abused by everyone in her life … that it’s normal to her. Like many battered wives.

The abuse may not be physical, but I doubt she wasn’t abused.

Remember, Folks. Flies attract disease, so keep yours closed.

(or use protection.)

She was married to Charlie fucking Kirk.

He probably expected her to be subservient in literally everything. Probably didn’t think she should have had her own banking card. Probably didn’t think she should vote.

It’s not hard to imagine she had a terrible relationship. Sad that she’s not taking the opportunity to leave.

yes… it’s improved dramatically.

which is why 18,000 waters got ordered instead of 8 (or whatever.)

congratulations on showing your ignorance. keep being insulting. keep making that assumption.

ask yourself why Will Smith was never actually charged. If you’re right, and that’s how our criminal justice system works, we know Will slapped him. We know it wasn’t some consensual thing. solid evidence there. So why wasn’t Will charged?

Was it because, hey, no crime was committed?

no. there were no charges because the expenditure of resources (aka wasting everybody’s time for a trial that everyone knows will fail to get a conviction.) You were right. the DA has prosecutorial discretion. meaning they’re the ones who make the decision. but that power also includes deciding when not to prosecute.

Once again, because it’s pretty clear you don’t read my comments: I’m not defending Will. You can stop adding things to my comment anytime now. You can stop explaining something incredibly obvious, which I have never argued.

Also you need to stop watching TV and movies, police and the DA have the ultimate authority to press charges in the US and they do it all the time. The law isn’t not-broken cause one party didn’t press charges. That’s honestly kinda adorable

They’re not going to prosecute a crime where the victim doesn’t want to testify or wants it dropped.

Because those become very hard to win, and they’ve got their win/loss ratio to worry about. It isn’t about whether the crime was committed or not. It’s about if they can win in court.

Tons of crimes go unprosecuted because one reason or another makes them difficult to win This was a relatively minor, one-off incident where the victim doesn’t want to press charges and the perpetrator has stellar legal representation.

Ya’ll tell on yourselves too much when you say things like “most.”

Seems like you understand it quite well.

You’ll notice there’s a difference between understanding a motivation or impulse and acting on it, or indeed, condoning the act.

And we can also quite happily describe what Will did as wrong, just as we can be critical of Chris for making the joke in the first place.

That you seem think Will’s action invalidates any inappropriateness in Chris’s actions is itself pretty telling.

IMO they both suck. And we can say what the Oscar’s should have done with Will. I don’t really care. Cops aren’t going to press charges if the person assaulted doesn’t call for it regardless of where it happened. But also Oscar’s should have vetted that speech and been like “maybe don’t make fun of a person’s medical condition.” Which likely would have headed the whole matter off. Details.
