Personally I don't mind my code being ingested to train #LLM models. Freedoms 1 and 3 of the four essential software freedoms allow for study and redistribution of modified versions of code. Of course those freedoms don't allow for stripping the license obligations from derivative code. They also don't give permission to for #scraper bots to #DDoS our core development infrastructure by aggressively spamming git servers with requests: https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/ #git #floss #foss #robots

Who could have guessed that an industry whose entire business model is based on theft would behave like malware attacks on the Internet?

Artificial intelligence companies are creating incredibly large scale denial of service situations on the infrastructure of Open Source Networks.

Now Network owners need to waste time on Finding ways of sending All These requests of the rogue AI insects to /dev/null

This Week in Security: The X DDoS, The ESP32 Basementdoor, and the camelCase RCE - We would be remiss if we didn’t address the X Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)... - https://hackaday.com/2025/03/14/this-week-in-security-the-x-ddos-the-esp32-basementdoor-and-the-camelcase-rce/ #thisweekinsecurity #hackadaycolumns #securityhacks #basementdoor #camelcase #news #ddos

Oh really it was Ukraine that took down X on March 10? Not so fast.

Independent security researchers found evidence that some X origin servers were not properly secured behind DDoS protection, and researchers noted they did not even see Ukraine in the breakdown of the top 20 IP address origins involved in the attacks. https://www.wired.com/story/x-ddos-attack-march-2025/ #X #Musk #DDoS #cyberattack #cybersecurity #security #Ukraine #BotNet #Internet

No, Elon — X DDoS was NOT by Ukraine

#X marks the botnet: #Outage outrage was a Ukrainian cyberattack, implies our favorite African billionaire comedy villain.

The social media platform formerly known as #Twitter went offline earlier this week. It was swamped by wave after wave of distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS). Now-owner #ElonMusk (pictured) has been telling everyone the #DDoS traffic came from Ukraine.

O RLY? That’s “garbage,” say experts. In #SBBlogwatch, we never stopped calling it Twitter.

What Really Happened With the #DDoS #Attacks That Took Down X

#ElonMusk said a “massive #cyberattack ” disrupted X on Monday and pointed to “IP addresses originating in the #Ukraine area” as the source of the attack. #Security experts say that's not how it works.

Musk blames Ukraine for X outage, while #DarkStormTeam, a pro-Palestine group, claims responsibility citing a DDoS attack.

#DDoS auf X für mich ungefähr so spannend wie Datendiebstahl bei knuddels.de, aber klar ist für jeden anders
