I've seen offices where only a few people were able to connect to the network printer and just ask people if they can print it.

Usually they've tries using flash drives but many large printers are also terrible at reading pdf files from them.

Edit: Should note that most of these people were smart and were able to follow instructions. However the big office printers can be an utter pain at times.

Honestly, for closed source software the POCs are also immediately available. Lots of threat actors just use patch diffing.

These days vulnerabilities are at times also patched with other non-related commits to conceal what exactly has changed.

The little smart home platform that could

Reply in thread

For technical people... Yes.

For people who aren't that technical? No.

Don't get me wrong, the Home Assistant Green and SkyConnect dongle is great and massively makes maintenance for the regular joe easier (no pis or other hardware that loads from the SD/hardware considerations).

But some stuff in UX would have to improve, which it already is doing ofcourse.

Police boast of hacking VPN where criminals "believed themselves to be safe"

Reply in thread

Read the article first. They exclusively tailored to criminals on cybercrime forums. If they were shutting down all VPNs which were used by criminals then they would have gone after all.

While performing incident response engagements I've seen a lot of criminals using Proton and others, due to them not being purposely designed for criminals they get away with it.

It's just like when they shut down RedVDS in January.
