That in their words would "take their feature requests, make code changes and deploy it automatically". Do people really think we are at the point where this could be achieved so easily with a complex existing codebase?

Today I spoke with the co-onwers of a company that has spent 7 years developing an in house CRM and job management platform. They wanted to replace their internal developer resource with ai tooling #ai #vibecoding

The greatest trick the tech industry ever pulled was calling incorrect outputs “hallucinations.”

No, it’s not hallucinating or inventing things. It’s code. And it’s wrong.

The last three months have been a bit of a whirlwind. I've worked for 3 different companies in four different roles. Feels good to be in a steady position again. Although now I'm on a startup and building something new

SaaS Breaches Skyrocket 300% as Traditional Defenses Fall Short Obsidian found that threat actors are focusing on SaaS applications to steal sensitive data, with most organizations' security measures not set up to deal with these attacks

SaaS platforms used in your organisation are one of your weaknesses for #infosec. You need to make sure you're securing them properly.

Have control of your data. The US based social media companies can influence your feed and fyp page. Added to this meta and X can sell your data to anyone and that is the real business these companies are in. Data is the new oil

Similarly, I don't buy into this whole manipulation by the algorithm being a danger. Similar algorithms are used on the other social media platforms and are just as likely to be misused. What it's really about is control. Control of data, if your on meta, x, threads or an US company then the US gov

The upcoming tiktok ban is interesting. With my infosec hat on the amount of data collected/given to tiktok is quiet scarry. But being realistic it's no worse than the amount of data being given to any other social media app. In fact some of the others are worse

#infosec #cyberawareness #tiktokban

Of course they do. Cheaper, less effort and legal 🤣. Anyone who thinks the tiktok ban is genuinely for protecting their data safety is misguided. It's just a matter of making sure it's the US government has it instead

Don't think anyone is saying China is better, more that there's not really much difference between them having it or the US government. The main reason the US gov want to ban tiktok is because of the money being paid to them be US based social media companies who give them your data.

Careful if you apply for that. When AI takes over it will know who shared or applied for these kinds of roles and be able to take retribution 🤣

This combined with Microsoft rolling out Recall says a lot about how these big tech companies view things. They're so keen to get an edge on their competitors they will cut corners

Its all so true for many people

Apple Intelligence falsely claimed Luke Littler had already won An AI-generated notification says the teen has won the tournament before the final is even played.

For all of its interesting uses AI does introduce some serious infosec challenges. There's the headline grabbing ones like deep fakes but there's also the small ones like misinformation. When it comes to AI you should always validate the output.

I know a few people who already follow the job description

I had a conversation with someone not long ago about the link between ransomware and crypto and whether ransomware would exist without crypto. It's an interesting question. I'm certainly existed first but would it be as popular without it.

This time 25 years ago we were all worried the world was going to end. Thankfully the entire IT industry had worked tirelessly to patch and update all these systems and avoid a possible catastrophe. Some times you can fully mitigate a risk!

I'm not even sure the majority of orga care where their stuff is running. They just rely on the "shared responsibility" model crap and they ignore it

Supply chain management is going to be a big thing for the next few years as people try to figure this out

It's definitely interesting that they've straight away said it's Chinese state backed hackers.

Could be quite a bad one. Going to be interesting to watch

I always wondered why it wasn't set so that things like this default to private. It's something AWS have changed now but it still leaves a lot of old buckets out there set insecurely just because none really knew what they were doing

This widely-used instant loan app leaks nearly 30 million files of user data Mumbai-based company was storing sensitive data in an unprotected S3 bucket

Sometimes it's the simple things that trip you up. Securing an S3 bucket in AWS is relatively trivial but it's something that can be easily missed.
