They want to replace 30 years of COBOL but somehow forgot to close the backend/database in their own website.

White mediocrity at its finest.

@ErickaSimone Calling that "mediocrity" is being generous. "incompetence" is closer.

@ErickaSimone no joke. These fools can’t find their own ass with both hands, a map, google maps, gps, Apple Maps, a random McNally atlas, and a pair of dowsing rods. They can’t even find their own ass with us pointing right at it screaming “that’s your ass, fool!”

@ErickaSimone

They would've restricted that port and that database if Grok/ChatGPT/etc had warned them that it would be publicly exposed.

So... Really the fault is on all of us for allowing LLM to be rebranded AI and get this far.

There is nothing about this timeline that I do not _hate_.

Any questions left?

With that history, it would take extra-ordinary measures to make it reasonable to allow a normal guy to even touch anything security related without automatic the question popping up for whom he is working.

@ErickaSimone I've heard of people figuring AI can easily write or translate COBOL.

I just never heard good things.

@StevenSavage just never hearing anything good anymore and it’s exhausting.
