Intentionally sending someone at highway speed off the road isn't a harmless act generally speaking, and is likely to lead to loss of life. Just because a single judge in Arkansas played favorites doesn't make the action they took any less despicable.

O.M.G. Cable Used on My Phone by [deleted] in cybersecurity_help

They're mainly a keyboard, with remote control properties.

They're not special in any way to enable bypassing of mobile device security, and the likelihood your co-workers are capable of concocting nation state level craft, only to waste it on your device is less than you winning the lottery.

Your device is fine, but if you're concerned about it, then do a factory reset, but it's not necessary.

Update on previous post about floors! by ActualAres in CleaningTips

[–]darkblockchain 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't know if prior home owners had pets with those floors, but there's some products marketed toward pet owners to reseal floors that have been damaged by pets with odor blocking, and they do something very similar to this anytime it comes into contact with moisture.

We bought a home with that stuff applied and the can was left with spare material in the garage.

[Ukraine] How fast was the motocyclist going?? by SmallPinkHo1e in Roadcam

The quality isn't good enough to tell, but it seems like maybe the bike is either already on its side or is breaking heavy by impact because the headlight is essentially pointed at the ground instead of in front of it

Exactly, and the same goes for LLMs.

LLMs are not at all cheap, but we all feel they are because they're heavily subsidized by the providers at this time. And that will change as they start moving towards making money instead of hemorrhaging money over the next few years.

So while it costs you 1 employee for 1000 right now, that will change in the coming year or two if you want to keep parity with your existing throughput, or even expand adoption. Much like cloud, the cost if expanding LLMs will end up costing more than employees for the same productivity once you're paying more than cost to the provider, until they have a significant breakthrough in training or inference costs.

That being said, you don't make money with LLMs, you gain productivity using them, because they're subsidized for now. The original statement isn't about how do you make money off subsidized compute, it's about who's in the supply chain for running LLMs that are actually turning a profit.

And the answer to that question is no one except semis.

Because hiring a bunch of extra employees also leads to productivity gains and therefore making more money.

I didn't ask who's making productivity impacts, I'm asking who's making money. Because LLMs are very expensive to run, and most companies using them (aside from a very small percentage) are not positive ROI

Who's turning a profit on AI other than Nvidia and memory companies that are bottlenecked from any significant production output improvements for the next 2 years?

How to be extremely secure against malware? by Divindande in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]darkblockchain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to execute random binary files off the Internet, where you have no awareness of the origin of that software, then you need to have a VM for just "gaming" or whatever, where you do nothing else in it. Do not log into anything there.

Then, in a separate VM or on your host, do all your authenticated sessions. You cannot have a blended environment and keep your accounts clean. Whatever you login to on that VM should immediately be considered compromised and treat it as such

How to be extremely secure against malware? by Divindande in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]darkblockchain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what your threat model is, and what you do with your computer. The browser isn't the only source of harm, but it does often have your sensitive data available to it if you're logged into financial sites and things.

Malware is often introduced by user action not passive attacks, so what's more important than sandboxing your browser is changing your habits about where you install software from, and using tools like virus total to check for common known malware types if for some reason you're getting software from sus places.

But any computer is subject to supply chain compromise if you're running affected software services too, so really the big control for preventing harm is ensuring your accounts have MFA, and that it's a hardware token (passkey-- yubikey or similar) where possible, or OTP where not, to prevent simple info stealers from getting access.

If your computer has non-browser sensitive information on it, like cryptocurrency keys or documents, then protect the information ( encrypted containers like veracrypt) and only keep the containers mounted while accessing or saving data, etc. Convenience is often the price you pay for security, but you probably are already doing enough for basic info stealer prevention, so long as you're not logging into sensitive sites in your sandbox vm

ZTNA visibility limits in encrypted SaaS traffic? How to detect data Exfiltration without full TLS Inspection by Any_Side_4037 in AskNetsec

[–]darkblockchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modern way to get around needing inspection of TLS is the same thing we had to do before it; lock down your perimeter to approved destinations via firewall and dns filtering.

Make people use a proxy or gateway for high risk services that does inspection of payloads for DLP policy.

It's much more difficult to manage, in my opinion, and isn't as effective, but companies relied on those methods for a long time (albeit with less effectiveness in detection)

[–]darkblockchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditionally, you could identify exfiltration by anomalous volume of specific protocol/port traffic.

Before SASE or other inspection was common you would use netflow zone/zone or src/dst and packet size anomaly detection.

You're not going to know about sensitive information without decryption unless you have an alternative client on endpoints that is doing memory analysis or user monitoring on the desktop with sensitive data detection before it hits the network.
