A hacker has allegedly breached one of China’s supercomputers and is attempting to sell a trove of stolen data

Well, that's until a super duper hacker comes along!

That’s why I always find all the traffic lights in the pictures before I open so I know it’s safe

You should be using a Super Dee Dooper Dee Booper Special Deluxe a la Peter T. Hooper computer if you really want security.

Well it's a certainly large amount of data, though I've known astronomy and volcanology institutions that collect data on that order of magnitude on a regular basis. For example, a high-density 3D seismic survey of land can be on the order of 1-10 Pb of data.

It's just not a realistic amount tbh. How long do you think a transfer would take to move those files off site? That's assuming this deep deep system is connected to the Internet with no monitoring to see ALL 8-10 PB being transferred over months. Walk out the building with a USB key? Lol how big is the trench coat this dude wore. I just can't fathom how this could be real.

I do not think ive ever seen that phrase written out and I apparently did not realize how it was spelled out.

Is that 8000 terabytes?

I don't know if 8 is both the kit and caboodle Maybe one caboodle and half a kit at best

Nah, i recently met a sys admin of what was the most powerful computer on earth and they do petabytes PER RUN. They have to use a node of the supercomputer just to manage the main clusters memory use.

May you live in interesting times....

That's a pretty big flipping caveat. It very well could be a coincidence... a vast majority of CVEs are not discovered by AI. Yes, AI could have been involved but it's a stretch to immediately link a hack to AI. It's worth noting that: 1. People have also started using AI to scan for vulnerabilities to help prevent this. Especially open source projects where there's a million eyeballs on a lot of the libraries etc. And as for the closed source stuff... you can't exactly just point Claude at it like he did with the Linux kernel. 2. >I have so many bugs in the Linux kernel that I can’t report because I haven’t validated them yet… I’m not going to send \[the Linux kernel maintainers\] potential slop This is also worth noting. Yes, AI is a great tool to find vulnerabilites but it spits out a ton of nonsense. Many companies are killing or reworking their bug bounty program in response to the flood of AI nonsense they're getting.

Don't they use their own browser there?

China has been reporting about the US hacking China for a long time. It's the US media that rarely reports on it so that the US can continue looking like an innoncent victim.
