Every time I'm reminded of how terrible AI still is at writing, I breathe a little easier at the thought that I might still be employable for another couple of years.

Self-promoting AI slop with a misleading title. No evidence that anything that controls a bridge is accessible over the internet; it’s just some PLCs accessible over the internet that may have minimal or no risk even if completely compromised.

There are probably legitimate risks but this post doesn’t provide any useful information about them.

Honestly, wouldn’t surprise me if some of these devices were honeypots, too.

Someone found open ports. Theorized they're bridges. And spun a 5 page ai article making baseless and unsupported claims on what's happening and how it came to be.
