The 2000s were a pretty weird time for cybersecurity. It was becoming increasingly better supported and understood, but you were still coming out of a relative degree of innocence and naivete due to how recent it all was. Laws had yet to fully catch up, security practices were very much still being figured out, and generally it was just a weaker time. It's also a constant game of attack and defense, what it looks like today vs 2008 are wildly different because of this. A lot of it involved making lower level agencies (Possibly with their own rules and policies, often weaker or poorly implemented) come in line with mandatory standards and practices. It's not infallible, but it does a lot.

[@Xezian]

@@MRJMXHDyeah and if it's wrong for their information to be stolen and given out to others they don't want having that information it's wrong for the federal government to do the same to its citizens or the citizens of foreign countries. They are complicit in helping this surveillance state we live in operate, any one of them could take actions against it like Snowden did, but they don't. If you're actively complicit with evil actions, it doesn't matter if you were "just following orders", you are helping this type of evil prevail and you are partially responsible. Every person has the power to change the world around them and make a difference in it, the fact they don't use theirs to help oppose this surveillance state especially when they're in a much better position to than most people, is all on them.

I agree, I would add that its not just about the ego of individual in power. But its also about the face of an institution in power. Posturing is resource relied upon heavily for displaying power. So when weakness and vulnerability is revealed in an institution that relies on its image of power. It causes said institution to have extreme condemning response as a display to refortify its image of powerfulness.

If you're interested in Cyber Security, check out John Hammond or LiveOverflow. The only truth in this video is regarding Cracka/CWA. It was done via social engineering, so nothing really technical but Cracka does have talent with security. The whole thing about D3f4ult is based on lies he's been spreading for years. He was in his 20s.

Can confirm - was going to start work at Gartner and had a snoop around their clients as they gave full access to their db quite quickly. Found NSO group stuff and asked if I would be allowed to refuse to work with a client if I didn’t agree with their human rights record. All access was swiftly revoked and I was booted out supposedly because they were afraid I would leak/disclose information I didn’t morally agree with. They had a whole project helping NSO group develop a US gov proprietary version of Pegasus. This was in 2022

[@jtk5274]

Yeah, modern internet surveillance is so fucked up. Like I’m a normie and it’s actually so fucking scary to think about stuff like that. The fact that any government (or stoned teenager for that matter) in the world can just spy on me or everyone else is just so dystopical. It opens the doors for totalitarianism everywhere and makes it easier and more effective than it ever was. The tools states now and will have to control and deceive their own citizens are just scary.
