Comment Re:Fuck These Tests! (Score 1) 80

These gotcha games suck, but they're necessary. And it's not just email, it's phone calls, it's social engineering, it's fake paper invoices, it's fake AI voices, it's deep fake live videos, etc.

And yes, automate your defenses, automate as much as possible, but that's not enough. Every day, there is a new scam out there, or a new vector of attack, that automation doesn't take into account yet. It's a never-ending list of problems that requires never-ending education.

And yes, let's not make fun of people, but let's assume that people are going to make mistakes (even after having been trained), so let's continue to do penetration testing (in addition to all the other precautions we take and all the defensive automation we create).

Yes, enforcement can take place *after* a police report has been made. Because if a crime has been committed, there is a process to follow and there is a criminal to catch.

After all, if a hidden camera is found, it could have been planted there by a host, or by an employee, or by a contractor, or by a previous guest, or may be the camera could have been planted by someone trying to make a fake allegation (for instance a local competitor, or a guest who's trying to extort the host)

Who knows? It's the same thing with hotels. Hotel rooms have been found with hidden cameras in them also. If you find a hidden camera in your hotel room, you do not contact their headquarters first, you do not tell the front desk first, you contact the police first! The police can secure the evidence. The police can record what happened. The police can even try to catch the perpetrator.

Submission + - Ask /. : For devs having AI write most their code, do bots know your domain?

Tablizer writes: A recent Slashdot poll showed roughly 15% said bots write most their code. I generally find bots don't and can't understand very specific domains in my experience, the rules often come from institutional habits and/or arbitrary-seeming gov't polices & regulations. So what are the bots doing for you exactly? If there are regular patterns they are milking, why can't those patterns be factored into modules & functions rather than repeated so that you are mostly passing simple parameters. I'm skeptical of "AI writes most". Something smells off. Thank You!
