Is “nation state” an attempt to deflect from lax security?

[–] ObM@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah. “Nation state”, “Sophisticated”, “command injection”… where have I heard this before?

Ahh, that’s right - with every breach where they had basic vulnerabilities exposed, or admin credentials compromised.

If my boss asks why I haven't installed the jumpcloud agent yet I'll send him this article

It says they only went after specific orgs. Im going to assume thats where the nation state allegation came from.
