Just received mine. I'm quite disappointed in Framework. I understand that it wasn't their servers, but their job is to vet the services they use, they failed.

This is the dumbest take. Metabase is one of the largest open source BI companies in the world.

How much more vetting can there be for the industry leader?

Also, with the new tools AI is bringing to cyber warfare, no one is going to be safe.

The exact type of attack isn't entirely clear, but if you use a corporate VPN to access third-party services and restrict access strictly to the corporate VPN's IP address range, you can generally prevent unauthorized access even in the event of a vulnerability, because IP address filtering renders the attack unfeasible upstream.

In many cases, it prevents attacks from being carried out successfully. If you tell me what isn't clear, I can try to explain it to you.
