@Zecc You want a warthog kneeling on your lawn? That kinda runs against keeping things off it.

So, the scandal about the publicly accessible 2.7M phonecalls to the swedish health hotline continues. The contractor responsible is now taking the newspaper who publicized the information to court for exposing patient data, and the vendor with the unsecured webserver keeps on handling the data despite the contract being terminated.
The CEO of the contractor firm tried to explain it all away with that "someone had connected an internet cable to the harddrive". Well, of course! The best way to secure your data is to NOT connect the internet cable to the harddrive. Obviously.

@Atazhaia Found some more quotes from the CEO:
This server is a so-called network attached storage, NAS. Like a big tape recorder.
It was connected to the internet. We don't know when it happened, but probably has someone during an update simply put an internet cable in the harddrive. Then it got an IP address and then it was fair game.
For some reason it got its own little cable to the internet.
There would have been no issues if you wouldn't know this server had this problem, but that was found out by Computer Sweden.
...it shows that even the simplest harddrive is reachable if it's connected to the internet. It's just to learn from this and say "wow, goshdarnit".
...if you have advanced technology it's impossible to protect yourself against everything.

Wow, goshdarnit.

In a just world, being that moronic should be fatal.
Also, a NAS? Wouldn't a SAN be more likely, unless this operation was out of someone's shed.

The shed theory is very likely. Although the CEO probably wouldn't know the difference either way. The "little internet cable" was very special as it not only gave the "harddrive" an IP but also a DNS record.
But the people who found this well-hidden server used "advanced command movements" and were "people who know this stuff". No normal person could ever gain access to it.

DHCP, baby!
(And an address pool. That's how we handle random things plugged into our network. Except we whitelist MAC addresses for which network they're allowed to talk to, and whether that puts them on the list that can talk to the outside or which is strictly firewalled.)

@Gribnit said in In other news today...:
As protons in solar wind hit the surface of the Moon, they interact with the electrons to make hydrogen atoms. These atoms then find a way to meet oxygen atoms bound in molecules like silica or aluminium oxide in the lunar soil.
The solar wind also destroys the chemical bonds in these molecules, freeing the oxygen to pair up with hydrogen to make hydroxyl. Hydroxyl molecules, however, need one more hydrogen
moleculeatom to turn into water. The next step is to figure out how to get all that hydrogen.That all this hydrogen is available was the first step. Perhaps that hydrogen refuses for some reason to bond with the hydroxyl, although as reactive as hydroxyl tends to be that sounds unlikely.
“But here’s what’s amazing: every rock has the potential to make water, especially after being irradiated by the solar wind.”
"If you only add two of the three atoms needed for water, you can get the third one from almost everywhere".
Amazingly, every pot of water created that way also has the potential to make chicken soup, especially after you add chicken.

Most of the rocks on the moon are oxides; there's lots of oxygen available if you can extract it.

Curiously, the offending page elements were labeled with a "Brazil_" prefix, indicating some link to that country, though the location of the applicants was irrelevant.
Brazil has an interesting implementation of racial affirmative action.

If you're after defanging, while still making it convenient to copy:
https:/­/internetofdon.gs:
https://internetofdon.gs
I just tried copying both of those, and did not have a problem copying either one. I would prefer someone did the first, because if I wanted to copy it back into an address bar, I would just have to back out one space instead of five.

Back when it was still legal to do so in the US, my father once got an application asking for his race, to which he replied "Irish".
When the forms were being reviewed at the union hall, someone held it up and said "is that white Irish or black Irish?" Dad's response: "It's green Irish!"

Good times. We used to occasionally play tackle football or smear the queer until a teacher noticed what we were doing and told us to stop.

Yeah, those games were forbidden. Oddly though, red rover was an allowed game.

As an , i find it amusing that this is a radical experiment. I also now support the idea of continuing some degree of Quebec independence.
I do remember that the kids knew the difference between play-fighting and real fighting, but that the teachers' simple minds couldn't grasp it.
