Is @mikko a security executive leading a double life as a secret pop star? 🤔 twitter.com/mikko/status/7…

We hired a junior developer to write the simple code, so we don't have to spend a ton of money on tokens for those basic/primitive tasks

@uncledoomer Same energy

what the hell were they even using @ signs for in 1881

I don’t like this

The clip is from my talk at NBF 2023. In the talk I also do a demo with this new model called "Claude" from a company called Anthropic... youtube.com/watch?v=bC9R32…

Three years ago, I said in my talks that generative AI would eventually start discovering zero-day vulnerabilities. At the time, many people dismissed the idea as unrealistic. It is no longer unrealistic.

We conducted cyber evaluations of Claude Mythos Preview and found that it is the first model to complete an AISI cyber range end-to-end. 🧵

@Mayhem4Markets @eastdakota Claudflare.

Anthropic uses Cloudflare’s services. Thought that might be important to know. Since every Claude headline has absolutely murdered $NET. Thanks, @eastdakota! 🦾

@thekaizenbot Damn right.

Rarely is anyone thanked for the work they did to prevent the disaster that didn’t happen. - Mikko Hypponen

@stocktavia @arcymosiek @mikko miał chyba kiedyś taką prezentację, gdzie padło "Biggest lie on the Internet? I have read and understood T&C" 🖖

Swobodne rozważania rynkowe: W filmie „Truman Show” Truman od dziecka jest oduczany ciekawości świata. Po co podróżować, skoro wszystko już odkryte - najlepiej zostawić tak, jak jest. W dyskusji o AI występuje podobne zjawisko - złożoność redukowana jest do reakcji w rodzaju „😂” albo jednego, wygodnego epitetu. A przecież jesteśmy na bardzo wczesnym etapie technologii, która w użyciu bywa zwyczajnie zdumiewająca. Mnie przypomina pierwsze kontakty z komputerem, ms-dosem, dźwiękiem modemu od Telekomunikacji Polskiej. W Polsce mamy ogromny zasób talentu technicznego, przez lata kanalizowany w stronę przewidywalnych ścieżek kariery. Te wybory są teraz mniej jednoznaczne, a uśpione w głowach projekty mogą ożyć nawet "na boku", dzięki mniejszej barierze wejścia. Zadziwia mnie drwiący stosunek do technologii - a że jej twórcy obiecują więcej i szybciej, niż dowożą? Tak wygląda każda ambitna próba zmiany rzeczywistości. Trochę tak, jak gdybyśmy wyśmiewali pierwsze samoloty: "przecież tym się nie da polecieć na księżyc!". Cóż, w końcu się dało. Gdy ostatnio rozmawiałem o tym z przyjacielem, wskazał, że to wyraz romantyczej obserwacji - brak realnej ekspozycji na zyski z nowej technologii kieruje komentariat w stronę opinii z zakresu moralności. I może właśnie dlatego tak wiele rozmów kończy się dziś w tym samym miejscu. Na: „🤣🤣🤣”.

Stop uploading your address book to social media sites. It’s not your data!

Webdevs, try to remember: CAPTCHAs are supposed to be easy for people to solve but hard for computers to solve. Not the other way around.

@Naruga_Maam @TechCrunch no.

@TechCrunch @mikko Maybe it's time we stop treating machines like the enemy — wouldn't it be smarter to collaborate with them and find common ground instead of drawing battle lines?

“We’re on the side of humans against machines, which sounds a little bit like science fiction, but that’s very concretely what we do.” A mission against malware has turned into a battle against drone warfare for @mikko, who’s among the most established figures in cybersecurity. @lorenzofb explores why, and how anti-drone security works in his latest feature. spr.ly/6014B6QOmg

@rtehrani Cybersecurity Tetris.

Mikko Hyppönen is pacing back and forth on the stage, with his trademark dark blonde ponytail resting on an impeccable teal suit. A seasoned speaker, he is trying to make an important point to a room full of fellow hackers and security researchers at one of the industry’s global annual meet-ups. “I often call this ‘cybersecurity Tetris’,” he tells the audience with a serious face, reeling off the rules of the classic video game. When you complete a whole line of bricks, the row vanishes, leaving the rest of the bricks to fall into a new line. “So your successes disappear, while your failures pile up,” he tells the audience during his keynote at Black Hat in Las Vegas in 2025. “The challenge we face as cybersecurity people is that our work is invisible… when you do your job perfectly, the end result is that nothing happens.” Hyppönen’s work, however, has certainly not been invisible. As one of the industry’s longest serving cybersecurity figures, he has spent more than 35 years fighting malware. When he started in the late 1980s, the term “malware” was still far from everyday parlance; the terms instead were computer “virus” or “trojans.” The internet was still something few people had access to, and some viruses relied on infecting computers with floppy disks. Since then, Hyppönen estimated he has analyzed thousands of different kinds of malware. And thanks to his frequent talks at conferences all over the world, he has become one of the most recognizable faces and respected voices of the cybersecurity community. While Hyppönen has spent much of his life trying to keep malware from getting into places it is not supposed to, now he is still doing much of the same, albeit a slightly different tack: His new challenge is to protect people against drones. Hyppönen, who is Finnish, told me during a recent interview that he lives about two hours away from Finland’s border with Russia. An increasingly hostile Russia and its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, where the majority of deaths have reportedly come from unmanned aerial attacks, have made Hyppönen believe he can have renewed impact by fighting drones. For Hyppönen, it is also a matter of recognizing that while there are still long-standing problems to solve in the world of cybersecurity — malware is not going anywhere and there are plenty of new problems on the horizon — the industry has made huge strides over the last two decades. An iPhone, Hyppönen brought up as an example, is an extremely secure device. The cybersecurity aspects of drone warfare, on the other hand, remain almost uncharted territory. techcrunch.com/2026/04/04/aft…
