I wonder how much of that data needed to be outside air gapped security.
When it doesnt need to be accessible via network, hide it.
My point is, theres no guarantee of security on a network, safer working practices should be used if possible.
ie when network access will be needed, use a none automated network connection that is physically broken when not in use.
And those systems accessing it should be air gapped from the internet while in process.
The systems inside the boundary will alert when a connection is live so an accident is unlikely.
This could get complex quickly so new working practices will be required.
All other data should never be accessible on a network.

"but when will the hacking stop!?"
when the tech illiterate/negligent go extinct/bankrupt

it will stop when humanity ends 🙄

That's exactly the sort of attitude that leads to such intrusions. Sure, sometimes companies get hacked due to poor security decisions but often time it's through social engineering or procedure weakness. In fact I would wager that when large entities get hit that is often times the case. But at the end of the day it all happens for a multitude of reasons and THAT'S why it can be difficult to prevent because there are many links in the chain. I would go so far as to say that overall diligence is more important than being the smartest security guy.
Just my take on it.

People love entering locked places either by unlocking the locks .... Making duplicate keys or tricking people by allowing em in.... Or by bypassing the locks. And they will love to do that till the end of times it will always be the cat and mouse game. The reasons vary too a)because they can b) they like the challenge c) they have something to gain from it

Good points.

Nowadays social engineering is more easier to achieve and there are many entry points from where to pivot to other vulnerabilities.

I suspect there's a lot of attacks going on right now, not because of what's going on in the world but more because poverty is increasing around the globe as prices of food and essentials keep rising. More people are turning to online crime than ever before.
Especially from those countries that don't seem to care about western complaints of hackers and illegal call centre activities. Let's be honest here, India, Russia, Iran, N Korea, Pakistan just to name a handful of places where do they really care or do they infact even support it.
They always say their shutting down these groups but i highly doubt it as stealing money from the west is hardly a crime in some of those places. The west is no better either as they really skimp on security and leave hackers really easy targets to exploit.
We really need to step up our cyber crime divisions as really deep down it is a war in itself.
Just 6 months ago my monthly bills were about £400. Those same bills and food shopping right now is £500. If it goes up to £600 then i'll have to start going without some things.

Once upon a time in my life:
the secretary "Do i call the IT to grant you on the secured core server?"
me: "it's OK the paswords and login are on a post-it on all access point"
Of course the login and password were as easy as the IT seem noob, i could habe found them in 30 sec (not hacking, just found the right log an pw)... but he was better paid than me at this time.
There is also most sub saharian african country...
In fact when you restrain people, people learn how to bypass those restrain, it in our human nature, but once you have learned that... the darkside can call you, this is also in our human nature lol.
When you see youth that give everything of them on TikTok, Amazon, Google, Twitch to have a "free skin" or any social network... I think that cyberattack will have a long life 🙁

Believe me or not....some admins use work servers for their own purpose.....installing other apps

make Hacking punishable by death, no appeals just death thee end.

Godamn admins, all they want to do is benchmark Crysis...that crytek bloatware was never secure!

Samsung leak is 189 GB
It contains ... :
a dump of source code and related data about Security/Defense/Knox/Bootloader/TrustedApps and various other items.
a dump of source code and related data about device security and encryption related stuffs.
various repositorys from Samsung Github. Including Mobile defense engineering, Samsung account backend, Samsung pass backend/frontend, and SES (Bixby, Smartthings, store, etc)
The leak also contains highly confidential data from Qualcomm and various other samsung parters
So I would say it's very extensive and damming to Samsung. Just look at what happened with the nvidia certificates.

What a coincidence that Samsung was hacked the day after announcing it would stop seling into Russia.
anticupidon
You what you say it's true, it's bad, really bad.
Having accces to bootloaders, encryption algorithms and keys and Knox, well...I wouldn't touch a Samsung phone with a pole.

My next phone is gonna one of those old dial mobiles only. No data. The pandemic has shown who my real friends are and they know how to reach me. Glad it killed mobile social media for me.
anticupidon
Hurry up getting one. Stock dries up, carriers won't support some models...
Beware, some would say that only bad nefarious people buy burner phones.
PrMinisterGR
Never. All the great hacking is done without requiring much user intervention.
