Somebody made it public explicitly because S3 buckets are private by default. So I guess some of their components needed to be able to read it and they didn’t have the skills or time/money to do it in a more fine-grained way.
Chaos Communication Congress is such a cool event… 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Last year, they hacked a train to prove that the manufacturing company wrote code that fully locks the train when it arrives at rival repair shops.
Isn’t this very illegal in the EU?
Can we please start criminally punishing the execs that signed off on this?
There is an enormous problem with companies just knowingly and willingly breaking the law, taking the fines as cost of business
They collect every single thing from how many times you open your door to how fast you drive
Tech bros really never got the idea that cyberpunk is a genre of dystopian fiction.
You’re confusing the people who wrote the code with the product (business) team that decided they could monetize it. Engineers in large companies have zero creative control, and the people who do look more like wall street finance bros than the guys on silicon valley. Not that they don’t also suck, but please get why they suck.
Tech bros refers to a misogynistic behavior within tech circles and especially software development tied to traditional ideas that women can’t be technical because their vaginas get in the way. As a secondary bonus this leads to women trying to crush other women.
No. No it does not.

Because I see you skipped the first search result I’ll put this here for you https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogrammer

You’re blaming the toxic worker for the differently toxic management decisions.
I think you might want to read that Wikipedia article, because it makes it very clear that the way you’re using it is not the only way it is used. That is generally not how people use it these days.
It always amazes me when people insist a word must have only one meaning and that must be the original meaning.
The idea that language isn’t fluid is very silly to me, and by that, I don’t mean prosperous. Maybe it isn’t the best meme.
Well the article is about two paragraphs long, so why don’t you highlight the section you think backs up your point because I sure don’t see it.
And to be clear, a product executive at VW is by no stretch “in tech”. I’d even consider IBM to be more of a tech company than VW, and IBM has more in common with PWC than apple.
I mean it’s literally right there:
but some programmers self-describe themselves as a brogrammer positively as a word for “sociable or outgoing programmer”, and it also tends to represent a subculture within the greater tech industry.
So that’s three different meanings for the same word. Again, it sounds to me like it’s possible for words to have more than one meaning or for word meanings to change. But that’s just my liberal woke viewpoint obviously.
So you’re leaning harder into the part I took most issue with? The deciders here are not programmers. Also, that behavior is a coping mechanism for not wanting to believe they are misogynistic douches.
And uh…what the fuck are you talking about with bringing in liberal woke viewpoint as a thing in this conversation? I sincerely hope you’re just a Russian troll because otherwise you’re incomprehensible.
What models have they tracked?
Pretty much all objects with Internet connections that aren’t running FOSS top-to-bottom.
Hard to know as the whole presentation hasn’t been released yet, for now only people who were in the conference room would know.
Let’s be real, any VW cars with a head unit with maps capabilities and a SIM card are certainly tracked down. Why would it be limited to electric drivetrain cars only? There’s no GPS in the motors… It’s in the head unit
It’s a well known privacy issue to those who care about privacy. It’s Official: Cars Are Terrible at Privacy and Security
The good news is that it this information will eventually reach the insurance companies. That should help with terrible car drivers getting some incentives and disincentives to not suck so much.
Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies - The New York Times
If you want freedom, you get a bicycle.
Slow!=good, slow is just slow. Driving 25 in a 35 doesn’t make you a better driver.
