#critical-infrastructure — Public Fediverse posts

🏢⚡ As data centers evolve into mission-critical infrastructure for the #AI era, protecting the power, cooling, and building systems that keep them running is no longer optional.

Our Ultimate Buyer’s Guide for Data Center Cybersecurity breaks down what to look for in a CPS protection platform to efficiently protect critical OT, IoT, BMS, and your entire ecosystem.

Current update on SB26-090 (Colorado's misguided "wrong to repair" bill):

After spending a bunch of the senate session on Tuesday in debate over a bunch of amendments, the bill is tentatively on the calendar for tomorrow, again, to have its third reading in the senate.

Please keep up the pressure - Coloradans and the rest of the country rely on being able to fix broken things in order to protect them from cyberattack. The repair is not the problem here.

🚨 Current update on the Colorado bill (SB26-090) that would rescind "right to repair" for "critical infrastructure" 🚨

Please share widely.

The bill is currently scheduled for "third reading (final passage)" in the Colorado senate for Monday, April 13, first thing in the morning. If you have delayed until now doing something, this is your moment to act. You do not need to be a Colorado, or even a US resident, to speak up!

https://leg.colorado.gov/agenda/floor/202604132

Paul Roberts (secure-resilient.org) is putting together a list of people willing to be signatories to a letter opposing this bill. Please reach out to him if you want to sign on to that letter.

Wayne Seltzer, who runs the Boulder U-fix-it Clinic, shared a link to this petition/letter to legislators: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/support-your-right-to-repair-in-colorado

Danny Katz of CO PIRG is running a petition drive to send messages to the legislature. Petition link: https://pirg.org/colorado/take-action/tell-your-senator-protect-colorados-right-to-repair-law/

Finally, and this is important, rep. Brianna Titone (the author of the original 2024 right to repair bill) informed me that some of the advocates for right to repair who have been writing to legislators have been threatening or offensive in their language they used in their messages. This is unhelpful and will not persuade lawmakers to change their minds, so please try to encourage others to remember that these legislators -- who are on the fence -- can be persuaded, and are not (necessarily) inherently evil or corrupt, and just lack understanding.Talk/write to them with that frame of mind.

Thank you!

Anthropic just disclosed Claude Mythos Preview - autonomous zero-day discovery and exploitation across every major OS and browser.

27-year-old OpenBSD TCP bug. 17-year-old FreeBSD RCE. Multi-vuln chains bypassing KASLR + HARDENED_USERCOPY. Fully autonomous ROP chain construction. Cost: ~$2k per exploit chain.

The entire industry conversation is focused on IT. I think that's wrong.

When I map these capabilities against real OT environments — unaudited PLC firmware, unauthenticated Modbus/DNP3, 12-18 month patch cycles, no endpoint agents on resource-constrained devices — the picture is far worse than for IT.

Stuxnet needed nation-state resources and four zero-days. Mythos collapses the exploit development bottleneck. The domain knowledge for physical process manipulation is widely distributed. The barrier to cyber-kinetic attacks just dropped significantly.

#DataCenter Tech #Lobbyists Fearmonger in Attempt to Retroactively Roll Back #RightToRepair #Law
Cisco, IBM, and major #lobbying groups are trying to exempt "#criticalinfrastructure" from #Colorado law
One issue with this is that “critical infrastructure” is very broadly defined, and could include essentially anything. In practice, the law could essentially repeal huge parts of one of the most important right to repair laws in the #UnitedStates.

Power failures cause 54% of data center outages. So how do AWS, Google, Microsoft, and xAI actually design their power systems?

AWS: rack-level UPS, 35% less loss
Google: 100M Li-ion cells, 1.09 PUE
xAI Colossus: 2 GW -- 40% of Memphis grid
