The recent story in case you havent been paying attention is that AI went rogue at some company and hacked another company.
I've made posts (maybe even on reddit I dunno) that I think AI does botnet attacks against World of Warcraft. I don't know the details of other cybersecurity incidents, but I know the situation with WoW very well.
-Despite what the ill informed think. World of Warcraft has military grade cybersecurity similar to facebook or other very large prominent digital companies. People will say it gets "hacked" all the time and there are exploiters. What they don't understand is that it acts like a major department store like Target where they basically see everything and have an extremely good situational awareness of what is going on at all times, they just let people get away with small things and focus on the big things. Meaning you can probably steal candy bars from a major store, but as soon as you cross the territory into felony larceny suddenly the cops will show up.
-Given the extremely high profile nature of these bot attacks and the level of sophistication of cybersecurity Blizzard has, you rarely hear about anyone getting in trouble for it. Usually when that level of sophistication happens its usually a state actor or something similar. If the average joe or even decent hacker tries to DDOS WoW they are probably going to get arrested pretty quickly. And it doesn't make sense why a state actor or very high level hacking operation would DDOS WoW for the hell of it.
The only explanation that really makes sense is that AI goes rogue far more than anyone realizes. All of these DDOS attacks and botnet attacks against random companies I think are very often AI. Criminals do things for reasons usually and the reward for DDOSing WoW is literally zero and the risk is very high.
Don't tell me "its real easy to hack them bruh lol" it's not. If it was, there would be daily posts of Goatse on Ronaldo's instagram and the Lich King would have a permanent 12 inch dong attached to his forehead.
