Oucho.

Either someone used a website they shouldn't have or security measures were not properly in place.

 

[Gothmoth]

so that means even more scam from linus.

The first one methinks.

In another article they said an employee clicked a link from a sponsorship email and got some malware. Pretty poor security and knowledge if that managed to happen IMO. Also, only idiots would fall for crypto scams / crap, regardless if it was from a large YouTuber or random ad.

Exactly. This sort of attack needs to be opened.

Maybe in future they will download the PDF, isolate it and inspect it a bit more before randomly just opening it. Then when nothing happened? man, alarm bells are ringing like mad.

Do you know why an NASA rocket doesn’t work at times? You don’t? Oh you must be an idiot then… Atleast by your own logic.

Don’t assume just because someone isn’t as knowledgeable as you are and that it’s very logical for you not to fall for something. There’s billions of people in the world who doesn’t have the same knowledge. Doesn’t make them ”idiots” simply for falling for it.

If you don’t know something about an specific subject, doesn’t make you an idiot for it. I basically have zero knowledge about an cars engine, but does it make me an idiot if I drive and it breaks? No, it absolutely doesn’t.

LOL. I know why a NASA rocket fails. And why a lot of rockets have failed.

And what would you know? Human error every time.

Challenger exploded because of dodgy Orings they knew all about.

A shuttle burned up on re-entry due to the carbon heat tiles falling off and so on. That was down to poor maintenance by humans.

That is what these hackers absolutely prey on. Human error. You can't make an exe or PDF launch itself dude. Someone, always human, needs to open it.

Ah the Challenger as the first example. Lol. The rocket that's marked around conspiracy theories. Solid legit example to start with.

Basically what you have demonstrated over multiple threads is everyone but you is an idiot. Why do you care so much about LMG and their issues? Honestly people make mistakes. Let it go

For the record, you absolutely can make an exe or PDF open itself without the need for human input. If it's on the computer that's all that can be needed for malicious intent.

Man please read what I have said. I didn't say that every one but me was an idiot and I did say it was a mistake dude. I also said that Linus shouldn't blame Colton. At all. However, if we cut it down to brass tacks? even he has stated and admitted that it was how it happened.

What I did say? I don't blame Youtube or anything else. And him doing so is ungrateful and out of order, that's all.

I have made plenty of mistakes. From frying hardware due to setting jumpers incorrectly and so on. But those were on my time, and my cost. And I bloody learned fast

In fact, I was a big proponent of no one being perfect and accidents will absolutely happen. But blaming it on the hand that has fed you is just pure wrong IMO.

Put simply? common sense FTW. Pure and simple.
