    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).



  • I’m shocked that a guy whose wealth is based on investor hype for AI makes a statement that AI is going to be exponentially more valuable.

    The guy is such a con artist. All the statements about how they fear the AI will be so smart and powerful are coming from from the AI owners. It’s bullshit, If they actually thought their AI could kill everyone, they wouldn’t be bragging about it in the press.
