  5. GitHub's Copilot app is here to help developers write better code with AI... because apparently, human intelligence is just too old-fashioned 🧠🤖. It's like having a backseat driver for coding, but this one loves to remind you of security vulnerabilities you never asked for 🚨🔐. Who knew that merging issues could be so... automated? 😏

  15. AI Vendors Downplay Role in Security Vulnerabilities

    AI vendors are caught in a contradictory spin cycle, urging companies to rely on AI to combat threats while downplaying security flaws, leaving customers wondering who's truly responsible for safeguarding their systems. When vulnerabilities arise, these vendors often claim it's simply their AI working as intended - a…

  20. Usually when I see a #securityvulnerabilities being talked about, I think "I should warn people - but this is probably too complex for me."

    I had the same thought with the recent #Notepad #vulnerability, because it might have been some complex model based parser thing or something... but:

    Notepad passed hidden links to WHAT NOW?!?! What a clown show Microsoft has become.

  24. #F5 disclosed a #breach by #nationstate #hackers who stole undisclosed #BIGIP #securityvulnerabilities and #sourcecode. The breach, discovered on 9 August 2025, involved long-term access to F5’s systems, including its BIG-IP product development environment. While the stolen data includes source code and vulnerability information, F5 claims there’s no evidence of attackers exploiting these flaws or compromising its software supply chain. bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu #tech #media #news

    :windows: To everyone still on Windows though, a #PSA:

    For real, backup your files, and go grab Rufus and LinuxMint and make a bootable USB: if you use Windows 10 (or even 11), you might need it. Watch your downloads and even the links you click extra-close right now.

    Be careful out there!

  28. ⚠️ As #Ransomware attacks grow in frequency, scale, and sophistication, endpoint security & reactive backups are no longer enough.

    🔐 Defense has moved beyond traditional antivirus - the new focus is the storage layer:
    ✅ Immutable backups
    ✅ AI-powered detection
    ✅ Isolated vaults
