You have no expectation of privacy in public places. The law does need to be changed. At least a court order for a search. The potential for abuse is off the charts.

They got in via MySQL exposed using valid credentials. And no one knows how they got the credentials. I think security in general was an afterthought of the victim. My guess is a vibe coder who got vibed.

70km? Thatâ(TM)s reasonable We got alerts in Toronto for an amber alert in Thunder Bay. 1400km away. I calculated that driver would have to be driving at 400km/h to make alerting millions at 4am a reasonable idea.

It is not about wisdom but motive. IPv4 is a scarce resource. Large corporations like AT&T sit on a huge pool of very expensive assets. Why would they want to be part of the trend that makes them worthless? Remember itâ(TM)s the MBAs in charge now, not engineers.
