"Iranian hackers responsible for Los Angeles transit system breach, Israeli researchers say"
Beyond absurd, why is CA hiring Israeli firms to do investigations like this? Israeli intelligence adjacent firms are _not_ neutral
We are talking about a country that wont stop bombing woman, children, emergency workers during a ceasefire bc they want the Iran war to continue at all costs. Peace for them is unacceptable outcome regardless of how much damage it does to everyone globally
CA has no security firms that can do this work?
Beyond that the report is trash, it fails to properly redact sensitive info
And the conclusions dont give real defense suggestions beyond hiring their company again
Report glosses over massive security failings and then its conclusions amounts to shrugging and saying 'well AI will make it impossible to secure' rather than give real world solutions to prevent break-ins
The nepotism that allows this incompetence is infuriating and its omnipresent
Lastly, the evidence is pretty flimsy, it comes down to an IP address
To be clear, I'm not suggesting it wasn't potentially Iran state actor, it very well could be
The distinction I'm drawing here is that the evidence wouldn't be enough for a California criminal court to even press charges
And to spend most of the report ignoring massive security failings, leaking sensitive information, and then using a single IP address to attribute it to Iran is beyond lazy, its highly paid incompetence
