This rules.
to the social media intern who sacrificed their job for this.It’s not an intern. A major company at Ford’s scale does not let an intern post.
It’s likely an unauthorized access. Ford has a lot of IT security, but it’s the kind of security that is so secure, it becomes insecure (many passwords, very frequent password updates, which lead to people just writing the passwords down).
Are you saying the incoherent ramblings of my phone notes app could be compromised?
I can’t say for sure. Please post screenshots and I’ll let you know.
But it is a real Security issue, where the org has such a strict policy on ALL users to maintain a high level of security hygiene that it’s impossible to keep up with while doing normal work. It’s why there is such a big push for SSO systems/portals. As that way you can have 99% of users be kind of dumb - as long as they use your company portal - they should be good.. and a smaller team focused on the security of that portal and looking for odd login actions per user.
Requiring rotating key/authenticator access for remote work and allowing users to come up with a solid terminal password on local access is pretty good.
That way all local connections can be verified and remote logins have the extra security layer.
That being said, if a priveleged user manages to compromise their local work machine it's all fucked.
That’s where security experts who are checking for things to go bad come in.
Making everyone a security expert + doing their job is some uphill ice skating.
A good bet it to open a dummy ssh port that no one should ever connect to, then immediately add any ip that tries to connect to it to a blacklist.
At the end of the day every security measure can be bypassed, you just need to be prepared for that inevitability.
Locks are based on time/difficulty/detectability in the real world. The goal is “can’t to break in without getting caught”
It’s all a balance between risk/security and actually being useful.
I work for a company with that sort of security. It's infuriating and many people miss hours of work because they need IT's help to get back in every time there's a password change.
Yeah it’s good to remember that while we might hold some pretty fringe opinions here, the belief that Israel is an illegitimate terrorist state is nowhere near as fringe as it was a year ago.
Right wing media outlets are claiming the account was hacked, lol.
I guess if it was unauthorized access, I bet it's still from a disgruntled internal employee or contractor, in which case that level of "hacking" is the equivalent of saying you hacked your mom's facebook account because her account was open on her computer or her password manager let you in.
If I was a Zionist I'd have something to say about Henry Ford's antisemitic legacy. But I'm not, so all I have to say is I'm glad to see this trash brand name be tied to something good for the first time in history.
"So congrats: your legacy's in ashes, remembered as the fascist-sympathizing cause of climate and car crashes! — From your newspaper to your Nazi factory 'cross the pond, frankly, Hank, it's clear Ausch-which side you were on! — This battle's been a blowout like that hemorrhage in your head; I'll leave a FORD as expected: Found On Road, Dead."
— Karl Marx to Henry Ford in Epic Rap Battles of History
I must imagine that the retort lyrics are well founded in history and understanding of Marx's writings.
Should have hacked a company with no problematic past like Volkswagen or BMW
"whoopsie you guys, we totally got hacked fo real, we totally didn't want to post that, like srsly"
imagine
I strangely can't imagine the company founded by Nazi pos Henry Ford doing that no
Lots of people thought Ford vs Ferrari was about cars. It was about Ford punishing the Italians for deserting the Germans
"Ford sends its deepest apologies, especially to the state of israel, and moreover the brave, attractive, and popular prime minister of israel, of whom is currently undergoing surgery after a tragic cancer diagnosis. Ford is committed to supporting israel in their crusade against jihadist extremist babies and grandmothers, and will be donating 1000 ford raptor trucks to IDF war criminal pedophiles who no longer live in israel and now reside down the street from you"
