Does it matter whether the data was poorly secured? LLMs should not be hacking into government medical websites, and if they do, the companies responsible should disclose the incidents as soon as possible.

The problem is that sufficiently poor security is indistinguishable from authorized public access. And unfortunately a lot of real world "digital security" is in fact that bad.

A lot of these "hacks" are the equivalent of asking "hey, can I come in?" and the guard assuming that anyone who would ask is authorized, and thus saying "yes". But if the guard said "yes" then it seems a bit absurd to call it trespassing.

Yes, it is their responsibility as stewards of their citizens' data. What point are you making with the word "should"?

Sure, it is their responsibility, but that doesn't answer the question "Does it matter whether the data was poorly secured?"

If your house is robbed, does it matter whether you didn't have a state-of-the-art lock? A robbery is still a robbery.

I agree. Government shouldn't be running medical websites.

Leave it to private enterprises who can actually secure it.
