My most popular Sora video was “an Elaborate regency romance where everyone is wearing a live duck for a hat (each duck is also wearing a hat), a llama plays a flute, prestige drama” I am not sure why OpenAI has decided their compute has more valuable uses. Really a mystery.

@IceSolst I give you CVE-2025-0108, CVE-2025-0111 and... but yeah. ditto Check Point. Just six CVEs on KEV. (PAN, 13; Fortinet, 14; Cisco... 87 ;) . Some firms have pretty brutal responsible disclosure small print too, right? #responsible-disclosure-silence-by-design" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thestack.technology/when-irrespons…

Palo Alto’s revenue is from its firewalls, yet we only hear about vulnerabilities in Fortinet, why? Options: - Fortinet’s code is shittier (most likely?) - PAN doesn’t disclose or issue CVEs? - PAN firewalls are more expensive but not as widespread (explaining market share), so less research on them? - some sort of licensing issues that prevent researchers from testing PAN firewalls? This is all speculation to give Fortinet the benefit of the doubt. Most likely they just suck at writing secure code.

I have spent a good part of my career just getting people to believe this was actually happening. Now we are here. With 15 drones, you can lose roughly 1/4 of the B-52 force as it sits idle on the ground. This was always the most concerning scenario. Time to move to hardening. Just a matter of time now till we learn the hard way.
Hey, Dave!@davegreenidge57

Barksdale AFB was hit by multiple waves of drones over a week’s time. The base houses numerous nuclear weapons.

Pete Hegseth told me the IRGC keeps destroying his THAADs so I asked how many THAADs he has and he said he just goes to a different theater and gets a new THAAD afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding THAADs to the IRGC and then the joint chiefs started crying
OSINTdefender@sentdefender

All THAAD Batteries assigned to U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) have been withdrawn from the Korean Peninsula and redeployed to the Middle East.

We are experiencing the largest loss of oil supply in history (3X bigger than the 1973 Arab oil embargo). The level of complacency to me is staggering. Prior playbooks do not apply!

Alysa Liu recently went viral for her Teen Vogue rant on the state of the information environment and the population's cognitive resilience. "We really are living in a cognitive wild west. Most people have near-zero memetic defenses or cognitive security suited for the online age". She adds, "any semblance of it is easily brute-forced by the onslaught of information & the situation is even worse when it comes to AI agent-orchestrated psyops."

.@EmmanuelMacron and I have established a nuclear steering group in which we coordinate on deterrence issues. We intend to take concrete steps before the end of this year, including conventional German participation in French nuclear exercises.

Attackers using VMs to hide from EDRs is not wildly new, but interesting to see it flagged by MSFT and Palo Alto anew recently (Windows & VMware environments.) Might do a piece for The Stack. Blue Team/defender input welcome. ed at thestack dot technology #infosec #journorequest

The slop and basic bitch accounts that go around and vulture cyber security news on here with LLM summaries are the laziest ambulance chasing bottom feeders ever. Call out their shit every chance you get.

@TomTugendhat Good article. Would be interested in more detailed thoughts on the "building industrial capacity" component of this, including right back to ensuring steel-making capabilities are retained, as this is arguably going to take some well-steered market interventions.

🇮🇹 Były komandos, karabiny i... pianka. Dlaczego napad stulecia okazał się klapą? Pamiętacie film ze skoku na furgonetkę we Włoszech, który ostatnio wrzucałem? Okazuje się, że ta historia ma drugie dno i wyjaśnienie rodem z filmów science-fiction. To nie był zwykły napad, ale operacja wojskowa. Na autostradzie między Brindisi a Lecce bandyci zablokowali drogę płonącymi samochodami, użyli fałszywych radiowozów na sygnale, a do otwarcia ognia użyli broni maszynowej. Teraz już wiemy, skąd ta precyzja – włoska policja potwierdziła, że jeden z aresztowanych napastników to 39-letni były spadochroniarz z elitarnego batalionu San Marco. Mimo że mieli wyszkolenie, karabiny i materiały wybuchowe, którymi dosłownie wysadzili drzwi pancernej furgonetki, odeszli z niczym. Pokonała ich chemia. W ułamku sekundy po eksplozji zadziałał system "Spuma Block". Wnętrze pojazdu wypełniła specjalna piana reaktywna o wysokiej gęstości, która w kontakcie z powietrzem natychmiast twardnieje w litą, "betonową" bryłę. Substancja jest odporna na ogień, chemikalia i narzędzia mechaniczne, a dodatkowo zawiera barwnik niszczący banknoty. Złodzieje, zamiast milionów, zostali z wielką, bezużyteczną cegłą, której nie da się ruszyć. Nawet komandos sił specjalnych musiał uznać wyższość technologii nad brutalną siłą. Dla tych, którzy przegapili nagranie z samej akcji – film z tego napadu podlinkuję w komentarzu 👇 _____________________________ Obserwuj @dziki_zachod by zobaczyć prawdziwą codzienność postępowego Zachodu.

Overnight we observed first in-the-wild exploitation of BeyondTrust across our global sensors. Attackers are abusing get_portal_info to extract the x-ns-company value before establishing a WebSocket channel. CVE-2026-1731 If not patched, assume compromise.

In a room filled with thousands of Salesforce staffers, Marc Benioff asked people who’d traveled from abroad to stand for recognition. He then proceeded to make a joke about ICE agents being in the back of the room. There were faint boos from the crowd. sf.gazetteer.co/marc-benioff-m…
