Nobody interested in how they were hacked huh?

Probably because it's going to be something boring, like social engineering to get credentials, maybe a disgruntled employee or idiotic security configuration.

Boring is subjective. I’m always intrigued by how people gain access.

Although, I am aware of many of the techniques used I find it fascinating.

Darknet diaries is a great podcast for these kinds of things.

Security isn't really glamorous. Generally, you can just ask someone for their password and they will tell you. This takes a little bit of flair if you are blindly calling a company, but it can still work.

More often than not, people will just leave a server exposed on the Internet that has bad credentials. AWS makes this really easy to do with EC2, as an example.

Exotic attacks still happen though. Given that this is an just IPTV service show schedule, my first guess would be a blind SQL injection. That is not really "exotic". though.

@remotelove @dependencyinjection
Agreed. Such things are usually keeping in a kind of sandbox, so even if you access this list, you cannot go further. From the other hand, properly configuring security on this level usually skipped due to luck of time/money/wishes.

I'm more interested in how long this is going on. A few minutes? An hour? A day?

What are you using to translate the text?

[-] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 20 points 9 months ago

Google Translate app

Looks like what my phone does when I use the Google Lens. Basically I point my camera at text and it'll translate, showing up like that

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Ah, I knew it must be some translate app, but I wasn't sure which one.

I wouldn't necessarily say that whomever did this certainly is based if anything a bit of the opersite. This is likely to not have much of an affect outside very niche circles. This'll just more than likely affect iptv users. that's it. Would have no affect on russia nor would it be likely that putin or any of his associates figure any of this out if anything your going to make certain groups of people hate you more

Just Imagine this.getting from a stressful day at work. You make some dinner and decide to end the day with some tv to unwind and so you turn on the android tv box and your telly load up iptv. And your presented with such classics as putin is a dick. And who could forget putin is a dick. And news articles about the solar system and the galore
