What happened to hacker ethics? Screw over 39 million people to protest the sorry state of the security of a service they have been using?
Back in the good old days one would have secured the systems instead of harming the victims again.
GhostShell, please stay away from IoT or connected medical devices, I'm afraid you'll kill people just to make a point every security professional already understands.
- Joof 10y agoImplying those people weren't already screwed over. The difference is that now somebody knows about it.
- vonklaus 10y agoI agree with joof. I consider this grey tipping towards white rather than black hat. s/he basically just automated default credentials or autologin attempts, the door was already wide open and there were already numerous pieces of evidence s/he wasn't the only person to know that. If you see a door wide open a curious hacker will look.
