Have you tasted Florida water, it could probably use some extra chlorine. They dont exactly invest that much in public health/infrastructure, im not surprised this happened in Florida. Its a careless state with careless politicians.

Im still not worried about it. There's thousands of water treatment facilities in the USA and you've surfaced two occasions.

Ya'll should try actually breaking into something semi secure with an LLM, its not as easy as you might think. Seriously go try it, if you think its so easy there's millions of dollars to pick up off the floor on bugcrowd or h1. Seriously, please go give it a go.

Secondly, maybe the USA should stop committing mass murder across the globe if we don't want to be the subject of retaliatory attacks.

I actually 'surfaced' attacks in 5 states, and you only read two of them...not to mention Canada and Israel. Also, you're acting like you think its some script kiddies gonna try this stuff. It will be state actors, and was mentioned upstream in the stuxnet comment.

I dont think it's going to be script kiddies, but it sure does seem like everyone worried about this issue thinks anyone can hack critical systems now with a claude sub.

Do you think state actors are only capable of harming you now because of llms??? They don't need llms lol.

I would argue that systems were largely more vulnerable 5 years ago than they are now. Especially at a municiple level.

There seems to be a lot of "strategy of tension" being employed in these news cycles surrounding security and AI. Dont fall for it. You're fine. Systems are more secure now than they ever have been in the past.

But on the Israel note, thats awesome I hope more of that comes their way.


I never mentioned LLMS, a bunch of the attacks I listed pre-date LLMS, what makes you think I care about LLMS ?

LOL - funny comment coming from you... you said "That infrastructure is air-gapped, or should be. Im not worried." I responded with a number of news stories showing that is false, and its not air gapped. You then started harping on LLMs ??

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
