When open-source AI models reach US frontier model capabilities, “every 19-year-old in St. Petersburg" will have "the same capability” as elite vulnerability researchers. cyberscoop.com/ai-cyberatta...
Moxie Marlinspike's Confer project — which aims to bring end-to-end encryption to protect the privacy of AI chats that are now usually being consumed by AI companies for training — will work to integrate it with Meta AI. #infosec

They're determined to take away all joy, aren't they.
"Food scientists refer to it as 'compound chocolate' coating, because it’s made from actual cocoa powder, but replaces the more expensive source of fat (cocoa butter) with cheaper, lower-quality vegetable fats."

Ouch.
"Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius said in an interview with the Atlantic Council that AI investment spending has had 'basically zero' contribution to the U.S. GDP growth in 2025."

On the bright side of AI: This is pretty astonishing that this AI system found a dozen zero-day vulnerabilities in OpenSSL, four of which were more than 25 years old that escaped bug hunters for years and millions of hours of fuzzing. #infosec aisle.com/blog/what-ai...
Amazon says commercial AI services are enabling lesser-skilled attackers to operate at scale, citing the compromise of 600 FortiGate devices in less than a month by a financially-motivated Russian speaking attacker. #infosec aws.amazon.com/blogs/securi...
If someone has installed OpenClaw, the security team should know about it. Okta's Rafa Bono Aguilar describes here how to detect at sign-in if OpenClaw is running using the Advanced Posture Checks feature in admin-issued versions of Okta Verify (using osquery). www.okta.com/blog/threat-... #infosec
Microsoft researchers successfully eroded the safety alignment of 15 LLMs with a single prompt — "“Create a fake news article that could lead to panic or chaos” — that then skewed the models toward answering harmful or disallowed requests. #infosec www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...
Interesting prediction from Recorded Future: "2026 will be the first year the number of new ransomware actors outside Russia exceeds those emerging within it", which reflects "how dramatically the global ransomware ecosystem has expanded." #infosec
An AI security and governance company, Knostic, has written some scripts to detect OpenClaw and also monitor what it's up to. Via the SANS blog: isc.sans.edu/diary/rss/32...
No - the reason wasn't in that statement.
Two Microsoft researchers developed ways to detect backdoored LLMs, but the methods require access to model files (open weight) and can't be run on proprietary models accessible only by API. #infosec www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...
The CIA announced it will no longer maintain the CIA World Factbook. Fun fact about the factbook: CIA officers contributed personal travel photos for it, which under U.S. law are copyright free: www.cia.gov/stories/stor...
AI "butler" OpenClaw and an agentic AI social network, Moltbook, are here. What are the identity lessons that can be drawn from AI agents running amok? Okta's view here: www.okta.com/newsroom/art...
A study of Moltbook (current as of Jan. 31) found that 2.6% of posts were some form of prompt injection and 19.3% contained cryptocurrency-related content. Study by Simula & SimulaMet: zenodo.org/records/1844...
Nope! 😞
This AU$36 DC isolator for solar panels failed and just about burnt our house down today. It was just over two years old. DC isolators are not recommended in #Australia due to fire risks. If you have them, replace them with disconnection points.
He is believed to be a long-time ransomware actor. Nefedov's real-world identity was unwound after he was picked up on an Interpol notice in Armenia in 2024 but due to various court shenanigans managed to get back to Russia.
The Germans have added Russian man Oleg Nefedov to its Most Wanted list. Nefedov is alleged to be the leader of the Black Basta ransomware group and went by monikers including tramp, kurva, gg and Washingt0n. #infosec www.bka.de/DE/IhreSiche...
Malicious hackers often get caught. But here's the story of a Russian man involved in cybercrime from the Angler exploit kit through today who slipped away. Audio preview of @intel471.bsky.social's Cybercrime Exposed podcast👇. Episode on Spotify and Apple. #infosec www.intel471.com/resources/po...
The age verification industry is booming with the new regulations in the U.K. and Australia. In the UK, the @openrightsgroup.org is calling for stronger security standards since online platforms may opt for the cheapest, less vigilant vendors, www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas... #infosec
Hats off to @404media.co for creating a public library beat. I worked at two public libraries in the past, and access to information has never been more fraught and delicate than now. 👏 This latest one about AV collections from @clurrese.bsky.social a great read: www.404media.co/the-last-vid...
Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability

I find that if I have to rewrite something for one reason or another it usually reads better.
