Dealing with something ridiculous at the moment that is a great example of just how 'easy' it really is to close down exposed data:

Found a server recently with no access controls at all that was hit by ransomware in May 2024 and most of the data is encrypted. (It got hit by an automated script, it wasn't targeted by a ransom group)

Found a non encrypted directory:

The company is STILL uploading, monthly, hundreds of millions of records of logs with their clients data.

Tried to reach out to the company, nothing. Company is from AUS so I tried ASD, nothing.

I sent an email to AUSCERT, they validated with me the issue and forwarded the information and my contact to ASD, they also tried to reach out to the company themselves.

Not a word from anyone and the server is still exposed a month after my initial alerts.

Logs are still being uploaded to the server so it's obvious no one did anything.

So what am I supposed to do here?

Emergent Divergence: Should ADHD Be Part Of The Autism Spectrum?

Autism is associated with a wide array of co-occurring conditions. In fact, it is widely discussed that Autistic people have "all the things", meaning that we are prone to conditions that are otherwise considered rare or in some cases problematic.

For the avoidance of doubt, I would rather be autistic than either Donald Trump or Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And I don't just mean now, I also mean when they were at the peaks of their physical and mental abilities.
Even then, I would still rather be autistic.

#TIL Psychologische Fragebögen zur Neurodiversitäts-Diagnostik bei Kindern werden von neurotypischen Menschen entwickelt und sind für neurodiverse #Eltern z.T. nicht zu beantworten. Z.B.: Wenn ich selbst schlecht Emotionen in Gesichtern lesen kann, woher soll ich wissen, ob der Gesichtsausdruck des Kindes zur Situation passt? Wenn ich selbst Details liebe, warum soll die Detailversessenheit vom #Kind „ungewöhnlich“ sein?
Dummerweise sind #adhs #ASD, #AuDhS oft erblich. #Fedieltern

"Using AI to treat autism"

HOW ABOUT FUCK NO.

A very important reminder for Neurotypical (who call themselves “normal”) people.
