"And it brings an added twist: The contention that Hugging Face, an American company, was able to repel the attack by turning to an open-weights model from China offers a counterargument to some U.S. officials, as well as executives at OpenAI and Anthropic, who support restricting access to Chinese models." As a researcher, this is the part that actually bothered me. https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-the-futuristic-hack-by-rogue-openai-models-unfolded-1657bcea?st=dL4iH6 #ai #openai #h...

Has anyone ever refused a bug bounty payment? Curious…. I mean, if the only way to report a bug to some company is via a bug bounty program, is it possible to say “no thanks” on the payout? Or have them donate it to the #eff? I’d be interested in hearing about any such thing happening. #infosec #security #bugbounty

From last April, I somehow missed this so maybe others did too. Regardless, it's fucked up. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ice-facial-surveillance-glasses #privacy #meta #security

You know that nerd thing where there&#39;s a joke amongst techies and one of them buys the domain for the joke? Imagine simply keeping that domain and actually using it for something.

Copied in on a lively text convo with left and right. Was asked my opinion on the whole Trump firing squad thing. I think I managed to piss off my left friends when I said &quot;I think out of some of the states doing capital punishment, don&#39;t we have some that still do firing squad?&quot; One of the right people said something like &quot;so the old hippie agrees with us&quot; and I said &quot;Well I thought you guys were pro life.

Interesting. Using Agentic AI to avoid EDR detection while functioning as a malicious implant. Fascinating read since this is literally and figuratively hacking the system. https://www.beyondtrust.com/blog/entry/claude-control-agentic-c2-computer-use-agent #infosec #security #ai

@joshbressers @jerry I take a step further, repost the LLM’s code in a separate chat, and say “I wrote this code but strongly suspect it is insecure, please show me the flaws and give me a diff to fix things.”

I know there is a lot of hype and panic surrounding #anthropic and #mythos but I think the thing I am looking forward to and what no one seems to focus on is that 1) the flaws in code are still there Mythos or not, and 2) imagine running this as a part of a CI pipeline to look at every bit of code particularly during a &quot;build&quot; and &quot;test&quot; stage. That second part is what I am really looking forward to. #security #infosec #ai

I have a good friend and we can say virtually anything to each other and not be offended - even when trying to offend for laughs. Everyone should have a friend like that. I recently replied to her text (which I will NOT reveal), and I said &quot;Yes! As long as I am not within 500ft of a school.&quot; Like I said, everyone needs that kind of a friend.

Oh come on! Put in some effort. If you&#39;re going to scam, take your time and scam well. And make sure you fill out all of the fields. #infosec #security #docusign #scam #hacking #hacker
