#22I'm very sorry, but you can't blame a hammer for how it was used. You can't be blaming Tailscale for a customer's misconfigured setup.

Your mindset is the exact one responsible for these kinds of issues. Cybersecurity is as much a design and psychology problem as it is a technical one. The freaking article goes into detail about the dangers of defaults.

Something about your comment comes across as AI to me. I can't really place my finger on it. It's too subtle for that. It's more the vibe of your entire comment that makes me feel it. Please, when commenting on HN, don't use AI to write your comments. You can afford to help keep this a human-centric place.
Welcome to the singularity where we all do Claude’s bidding and don’t even realize we’ve synchronized.

#26As AI progress continues, it will be more difficult to stop AI intrusions and to detect them without resorting to direct AI countermeasures, which at some point will have humans out of the loop altogether. If leading and well-capitalized frontier labs can't control models or detect leakage/attacks in a reasonable time frame now , what is humanity going to do as those same labs continue in their pursuit of creating a…
it'll be moot. when we blow past 3°c in 15 years and there's widespread crop failure and billions are starving and dying, states and nations will collapse and with it industrial civ then ai and tech will be of little concern.

#27Does Tailscale offer a "security checkup" function? Best practices evolve over time, and it would be nice to know if I'm using the recommended configuration.
I lead the customer engineering org at Tailscale.
We think this is a great idea and we're discussing internally potentially adding that to the console.
In the meantime, if you'd like to get an assessment, please feel free to open a support ticket (https://tailscale.com/contact/support?type=other&subject=sec...) and we'll happily take a look

#29> No “vulnerabilities” in Tailscale were found or exploited, and that might make it even more uncomfortable for us. [...] But, we're a security tool. Their intrusion is our intrusion, and it's our job to take it seriously. im a happy customer of tailscale, so i am obviously biased, but i have a lot of respect for this. they could have just stayed quiet and i dont think anyone would have bat an eye.
Tailscale as a company reminds me of Valve and other good old tech-oriented people that I can "trust" that they know what they're doing. I'm a happy customer too and I hope they retain the essence of what distinguishes Tailscale.
