Not OP but if I were him/her: Leakage of patient data. Even if OP isn’t responsible, simply being tied to an incident like this can look very bad in fields that rely heavily on reputation.
AI models are known to leak this kind of information, there are news articles all over
Look to your local health privacy laws. Most countries have that tightly controlled in such a way that this use of AI is illegal.
Your question is not a legal one, but a legal argument can be a very persuasive one.
You’re going to to still have problems, owing to the fact that torrent protocol doesn’t download files sequentially (edit: some clients do have this option but it can slow your downloads dramatically). It doesn’t download the first 5 seconds, then the 5 seconds after that, but rather 5 second bits at random parts of the movie.
That’s my point though. YouTube’s audio quality is utter wank, so it’s easier to source the music through the likes of Spotify and rip it for piracy. All you need to do at that point is tamper with the watermarking. If you’re pulling the OGG Vorbis source files directly, and have access to two Premium accounts, you can rip it twice and diff it to see the areas that need to be modified
It is piracy if you make it available for others to download. Plus the concept of time shifting doesn’t really apply to on-demand media.
Because YouTube isn’t the biggest ripping source. That award goes to Spotify.
Spotify rippers are rife these days. I’ve even made my own.
My girlfriend goes absolutely nuts for it. We tune into the national selections.
The songs are usually pretty good and it’s cute AF to see her getting worked up.
And my point still stands - they CAN’T prove that those IP addresses would be from frontier.
Umm. Yes they can. Quite easily. As Frontier would have been assigned those IPs as a static set.
Legally, not really. A username is also not a person.
True, but when tied to an IP address known to be used by a suspected person, it can be used as evidence.
Also if the Reddit account is old, there’s a good chance they provided at least one piece of identifying info that further ties that account to a target.
It’s not definitive but it is a lot harder to toss out
IPs alone aren’t enough. IPs tied with usernames can be a lot more compelling.
Exactly. Custom cloud instance. That’s where you’re using the likes of AWS or Azure to run your machines but you’re in control of all the software and maintenance shit, just like you would be if you self hosted.
If you can do one, you can mostly do the other. I tend to put some wireguard VPN servers in front of my cloud boxes though for security reasons
running unauthorised pentests does indeed get people fired. Along with getting their managers in hot water for letting their pentesters be loose cannons. And if they’re attacking someone else while on company time, the company can be in serious legal trouble too.
it is rather customary for heads to roll when critical data is leaked as part of an insider attack, especially when said attack was enabled by negligent practices.
Just incase you’ve forgotten that randomly attacking people and leaking data is this kid’s MO.
If you can self host, you can run a custom cloud instance.
Yea, but the nerds that the suits put in charge of security will absolutely recognize this kids skills.
They will also recognise how much of a potential threat he is.
The suits don’t run the security teams at most corpos.
The suits absolutely do run the security teams. Very indirectly, but they do. The suits are the ones security teams have to persuade to get any sort of funding and they can and will veto a hiring decision like this.
You are correct that in most places, the suits do not usually directly intervene. Usually there is a lead guy in the security team that handles the conversations with the suits.
In a well functioning security unit, there is some trust there but not nearly enough to hire a kid like this. A veto is seen as a politically risky manoeuvre for a suit but it would absolutely be pulled for the prospect of hiring this kid, with some frankly compelling justification that any team lead would find nearly impossible to get around.
I’ve worked in several corporations in several security teams in the past, some amazing, some god-awful with insane suit meddling.
This wasn’t carelessness. This was a deliberate.
Mostly true in normal cases. If you’re really talented there is a market for you, always.
In this case, that market is the black market. In the regular market, no head of security wants to be responsible for a potential critical breach by hiring such a wild cannon.
His only possible path would have been to show remorse after the attacks. He shot that in the ass, or at least made his job much harder in that respect, by pulling another attack while in police custody.
It could be something as simple as needing to feel powerful in their space. That’s something a lot of people, autistic or not, can fall prey to, but it is more prevalent in introverts without a wide range of healthy social circles.
Think about it, how ballsy do you have to be to do an attack while in police custody? You pull that off, you’re going down as a fucking legend in black hat circles.
Like I get it, the guy’s got talent, and he stuck it to the man…
Except what he’s actually done is leaked decades of hard work by many talented people that do deserve to see a return on their efforts.
You can point to wages and working conditions but shit like this don’t solve those problems
Not every black hat, even autistic ones, lack an understanding of their actions. Some know perfectly fucking well what they are doing.
This guy rigged up hardware to pull off a massive attack while in police custody. Bro knew full well by that point what the consequences were, he pulled off another attack in the middle of dealing with said consequences
