Man, if only we had some sort of intelligence agency with some cybersecurity experts on hand.

Cybersecurity experts are expensive. Instead how about some unpaid interns using AI?

Yeah seriously. Just watch the network interface of any device connected directly to the internet. I only allow incoming connections from the countries I ever expect to visit but there are still services constantly scanning the WAN interface.

Or as a web developer just watch your HTTP logs fill up with garbage requests.

My work does this geo fencing and I need a VPN to reach my favorite Lemmy instances. We're also rolling out Yubikeys soon so it's cool to watch the FIDO2/WebAuth stuff come together.

Is this going to turn into the reason that they invalidate the election results when they don’t like them? Seems a little like they are starting the context for that

Does it hurt when someone else does to you what you’ve done to them? What is it american christians say ? “turn the other cheek”.
