I assume you never worked in academia. Sometimes hpc are installed by researchers (incl myself) as there is no budget for IT staff.

- 0xbadcafebee 2y agoStill not your responsibility. If they don't cough up the cash to properly manage the security, they can't expect any. Just because a trucking company doesn't want to pay for a mechanic, doesn't mean they can expect their drivers to repair blown engines.
- faust201 2y agoMost of the time - all input ports are blocked. Kinda provides security. Works fine as if things are so dire most academia would be hacked. - these are not valuable like data from SSN or bank. So fewer attacks. - if something gets f*ked - it gets bad name - people laugh it off. No one will get fired. I know uni presidents that keep passwords on excel sheets. Life is like that. Let's be honest corporate says training, retraining, testing - IT will install 3 different malware scanners and 2 AV to HOG CPU etc but some idiot will approve MFA/TOTP (okta) or like solarwinds. So everyone has their stupidity.
