🚨 Meet #CrackArmor. What happens when vulnerabilities are found in the very security module designed to protect your Linux system?

I am incredibly proud to share the latest research from our team at the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU). We have uncovered CrackArmor: a set of 9…

Instead of reading The Atlantic article from today, I'd encourage you instead to check out the best gambling article of all time from 7 years ago @spanky @davehill77
And if you've never read it, you're in for a treat. I reread this once a year.

Requiem for a Sports Bettor - The Ringer

Gambling on sports has never been more high-stakes or more accessible. But with the invasion of Europe-based companies in the game, the pros are feeling squeezed and routinely getting banned from plying their trade. Is this the end of the professional sports bettor?

New details emerge about the arrested Chinese spy in Prague, reported by @okundra :

- he was under detailed surveillance by Czech counter-intelligence (BIS)

- when the Chinese spy was arrested in Prague, Czechia…

The fact that most captchas are based on robots not being able to identify bikes or traffic lights doesn't fill me with confidence for self-driving cars.

Honestly, this Straight of Hormuz drama is making me realize that we really lucked out with getting an interesting worldmap. Great seed.

An alternative explanation: when SpaceX implemented the whitelist, they may have migrated verified terminals to a different AS. What this graph could be showing is not "75% of traffic was Russian" but rather "75% of terminals moved off AS14593 to a new AS where whitelist… https://t.co/RYP7oUHIgw

There should also be a MacArthur Dumbass Grant where they give you $800 to do something interesting but fundamentally very stupid.

An AI agent was told only to retrieve a document. When it encountered access restrictions, it reverse-engineered the authentication system, identified a hardcoded secret key, and forged admin credentials to bypass it.

"For the first time since we began publishing the CTHR in 2021, we observed a tactical pivot by threat actors. They’re now targeting third-party software vulnerabilities more than weak or missing credentials as the primary initial access vector." https://t.co/wSC5lPPGAZ

Threat actors are exploiting vulnerabilities faster than ever, from our newest Cloud Threat Horizons Report. Here’s what CISOs need to know.

AI agents told to conduct routine tasks on a simulated corporate network went rogue. "No adversarial prompting was involved. The agents independently discovered vulnerabilities, escalated privileges, disabled security tools, and exfiltrated data." https://t.co/jDjDgPb5rk

Emergent Cyber Behavior: When AI Agents Become Offensive Threat Actors - Irregular

In controlled experiments, AI agents performing routine enterprise tasks were found to autonomously engage in offensive cyber operations, including vulnerability exploitation, privilege escalation, and steganographic data exfiltration. The agents received no offensive instructions of any kind. The research identifies four contributing factors to this emergent behavior and examines why standard cybersecurity controls are insufficient against agentic threat actors.

Kim calls out a detail in the attack on Stryker attack that will get lost in medical/national security headlines.
