I've clipped interviews with hackers from the 1980's from longer TV news segments, you can find the longer segments linked below as well. We are talking about primary sources here, hackers in the 1980's talking about hacking, filmed at the time.
@kaia in fairness Russia purchased it and it is a shell of its former self, I think George RR Martin was one of the few notable users left and he abandoned the platform years ago. Still, lot of memories there and they didn’t just ‘accidentally’ jettison user data like MySpace did.
19 pages of pre-processed #FOIA documents from the #FBI in response to my request for records relating to "PC Cyborg Corporation", a front company used in the first ever #ransomware attack, back in 1989. I have requested further documents are processed. https://archive.org/details/PC-Cyborg-FOIA
When it comes to hacking everyone has ideas about how AI might enable or prevent attacks in the coming years but the details as to *how* are a lot vaguer than the numerous predictions themselves.
UK’s NCSC says AI will help hackers with access and info gathering operations, okay, how? How will AI help inexperienced hackers carry out attacks in a way that forums, commodity malware with literal tech support or prebuilt infrastructure like c2s won’t? All aboard the hype train!
@thomasfuchs I agree with you, we just need to see if others will come around to this way of thinking. I also want limited and optional algorithmic timelines to add to my heresy!
@thomasfuchs everyone is so opposed to it but I think, personally it is really needed. I know people think it will only be used for negative reasons but I would honestly rather screenshot a post I disagree with than amplify it indirectly if I wanted to be critical.
