can we just fucking all take a break for a month? just have things go to being boring?

I attended a fucking ethics of ai talk at my work, only to run into a fucking knockoff nazi complaining about the founding fathers images being generated with black people, and talking about how silicon valley is too left wing.

either you’re so stupid that you don’t understand it’s a fucking alt-right dog whistle, or you’re a fucking nazi who gets very, very upset if you see a black person in any context. Either way, just shut the fuck up.

Heads should roll.

The fact that they didn’t even try to hide their ssid (or at least, the report doesn’t say they did) shows how stupid people can be with cybersecurity.

Apparently “STINKY” is the default StarLink SSID (Another Musk joke), so yeah…

dhork ,

What’s better is that, thanks to Elon Musk, “STINKY” is the default name for its Starlink wifi. These people didn’t even change that.

Can’t speak to starlink specifically, but I know some shittier router brands would often reset to factory defaults every time you updated the firmware. Can easily see starlink doing that with a pushed firmware with the expectation some additional cell phone app would restore the correct settings.

So they very well might have turned off broadcasting but it got popped back on while they were on shift and it was detected.

Don’t worry! I’m sure the default username and password didn’t get changed either.

To make matters even worse…

The chiefs found that the Wi-Fi signal coming off the Starlink satellite transceiver couldn’t cover the entire ship, so during a stop in Pearl Harbor, they bought “signal repeaters and cable” to extend coverage.

And I’m sure whoever put it there faced way more harsher penalties than a certain someone who willfully hid highly classified documents in his bathroom for months and lied about it to investigators.

Some McHale’s Navy shit only with actual consequences.

Between Trump stealing national security secrets and shit like this, it’s honestly shocking the USA hasn’t already become a full-fledged fascist hell-hole. It’s currently only half-fledged.

But seriously, it must be fucking child’s play for other nations to spy on us with dumb fucking shit like this happening.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Hey, give us a chance. We have another election right around the corner and things are really looking good for a solid commitment to fully flegged hell-holism.

Ya mean like ppl using classified information in World of Tanks forums to prove a point… more than once?

That seems like a significant security risk

givesomefucks ,

Probably not for the reason you think.

Like, it wouldn’t be patched into anything official

But it means Musk knew where that ship was 24/7, and I’m pretty sure that’s why Ukraine’s military stopped using it. Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements.

catloaf ,

It wouldn’t be… Until it is.

givesomefucks ,

No it just wouldn’t.

Like, are you imagining a modern US warship doesn’t have internet 24/7?

This was for porn and maybe streaming services and social media, but mostly porn.

It wasn’t for any official use, because they have that covered.

You’re acting like surface ships are submarines…

Quill7513 ,

Yeah with how many leaks come from war thunder players… lol

cmnybo ,

It’s emmitting radio signals that an enemy could use to help locate the ship.

givesomefucks ,

What?

Surface ships are in constant communication with stuff…

You can’t just find a signal in the middle of the ocean. Musk can find a starlink signal tho, because he can see what Starlink connects to and it’s gps location.

4am ,

Yeah but if they go on mission and “go dark” then you still have this starlink thing that may or may not be disabled by the person smuggling it on board. It may also be connected to official things if the owner has bad intentions, or if someone else who does finds it and co-opts it.

There is a lot that could go wrong with unauthorized radio transmission equipment on a warship, and not all of it is obvious.

potentiallynotfelix ,

Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements

Wait he did? Can you provide a source for this? I can only find information about him stopping starlink service in crimea

Summzashi ,

They can’t, because it doesn’t exist.

Ep1cFac3pa1m ,
@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

The reason I think is because any unofficial and potentially unsecured communications access point seems like a vulnerability. If some moron posts a picture using that unofficial access point I’d be worried it could be traced to the ship’s location.

DaddleDew ,

It was exactly the reason I was thinking
