It's not hackers you have to worry about. You have to worry about an entity ( a person who isn't in the system but is in the system with a name) that knows how to monopolize people. A computer doesn't know how to monopolize people and psyche them out with Psychological Operations. I knew of a girl who did this and she had five counties wrapped around her little finger. The cool thing was that she was being herself. She passed away and her legacy is still thriving.

@Maxjoker98 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, air gaps are cheap and effective, but they can be very inconvenient. Also air gaps aren't perfect, everything with a pin that can be controlled programmatically can emit detectable RF. You can probably speak LoRa over VGA, HDMI, LPT, etc. Also you can do what happened with Stuxnet and just infect computers via infected USB devices(nowadays probably smartphones). In reality everything can probably be hacked, it's just about making it more difficult. Unfortunately, we're often prioritizing low cost and convenience over security.

@GrannyDryden 4 ай бұрын

@@Maxjoker98 true though to my mind, remote attacks verses needing physical access to machine to deliver a payload via USB, for example is of a magnitude more difficult and would stop a lot of these random attacks.

Being in gov cybersec professionally, I can tell you that it is most certainly foreign adversary hackers that are often state sponsored (even if they’re doing it for fun, the foreign adversary isn’t going to stop them bc they’re interested in that data as well). While some American hackers most certainly do have malicious intent, they are not often going after US companies. In my management of enterprise networks, bots are constantly (and annoyingly) crawling our network from foreign IP addresses (yes, namely Chinese and Russian).
