These things have always been true:
1. The ability to generate buggy code has never been greater.
2. The ability to find bugs in code has never been greater.
3. The ability to fix bugs in code has never been greater.
4. Many, many more people want to do 1 or 2 than 3.

Now scale this with AI.

LLMs & Ransomware | An Operational Accelerator, Not a Revolution LLMs make competent ransomware crews faster and novices more dangerous. The risk is not superintelligent malware, but rather industrialized extortion.

AI isn’t reinventing ransomware β€” it’s industrializing it.

That’s the core finding from new @sentinellabs.bsky.social research on how threat actors are actually using LLMs today. s1.ai/llm-rw

Outgoing GAO chief warns of β€˜taking our foot off the gas’ at CISA Gene Dodaro, who is set to retire from the watchdog at the end of this month, shared final concerns with senators Tuesday about how the government is prioritizing cybersecurity.

Outgoing 15-year head of GAO says he's worried the government is "taking our foot off the gas at CISA" and would "live to regret it." He also said CISA's one-third workforce cut was "obviously untenable" and "they may not be postured" to support the midterm elections. fedscoop.com/cisa-workfor...

An Evening with Claude (Code) - SpecterOps This blog post explores a bug, (CVE-2025-64755), I found while trying to find a command execution primitive within Claude Code to demonstrate the risks of web-hosted MCP to a client.

AI tooling and MCP servers are entering enterprises fast, often faster than security teams can assess the risks.

During a recent engagement, @xpnsec.com found a new Claude Code vuln (CVE-2025-64755) while exploring MCP abuse paths.

A U.S. District Judge has ruled that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan (who had no prosecutorial experience before this role) was improperly appointed by the Trump administration, agreeing with Comey’s defense team.

The ruling means that both federal indictments are dismissed. trib.al/WZbNPi9
