Does it matter whether the data was poorly secured? LLMs should not be hacking into government medical websites, and if they do, the companies responsible should disclose the incidents as soon as possible.
A lot of these "hacks" are the equivalent of asking "hey, can I come in?" and the guard assuming that anyone who would ask is authorized, and thus saying "yes". But if the guard said "yes" then it seems a bit absurd to call it trespassing.
>Hey can I come into room 1?
Sure. That's the lobby.
>How about room 101?
Sure. That's where we keep the nuclear launch button. Don't press anything red.
Hacker or pentester.
Nope. There’s just a sign saying “red = launch nukes”.
Or maybe just a red button.
Or maybe just a green button that launches the nukes, without so much as “are you sure?”.
If your house is robbed, does it matter whether you didn't have a state-of-the-art lock? A robbery is still a robbery.
It very much does matter.
If I walked past, saw it and remembered it or even recorded it, is that honestly theft?
is incrementing a url query parameters from 0 -> 1 count as hacking?
Leave it to private enterprises who can actually secure it.
That link describes a hack of Medibank, which is a private company.
