The scripts targeted an ownCloud instance operated by a nuclear research body

Maybe it's just me, but I think if I were running a nuclear research facility, I'd want a little something more than ownCloud, and neat as it is.

I host pictures of my cat and I have everything encrypted and the server is accessible only via VPN

So:

  • They had nuclear records
  • They expose the server to the Internet
  • They don't update their software since 2023

What the hell did they expect?
