The whole “they won’t hack me because they won’t bother to target Eudora running on AIX 3.1” is flawed in an age when AI is both ubiquitous and cheap. It wasn’t worth targeting you because it required the attention of a human, but now it requires just a few seconds of a GPU server that’s running on stolen credentials.
This is the thing with AI - it has an infinite capacity to do things - the same way we find new RCEs by the dozen so we can fix them, our attackers find them so they can get infiltrate our systems.
