Bug hunters and pentesters are already using LLMs to find new vulnerabilities and write exploits faster. It's fair to assume threat actors are doing the same, potentially leading to an increase in the number of zero-days orgs will have to deal with. csoonline.com/article/363226…

Booked a room with @IHGCorporate @IHGhotels @IHGService hotel in Bratislava pre-paid with my points. The hotel tried to deny our Nigerian evacuated students from Sumy #Ukraine a room based on the color of their skin. I'm beyond angry right now. Please RT so IHG responds

Good interview with @securelyfitz about the Bloomberg chip hack story by @riskybusiness. Joe, a hardware hacking expert, was one of the named sources quoted in the piece. He discusses his discomfort with the story and skepticism about its accuracy. risky.biz/RB517_feature/

@westerndigital @WDCreators Hey WD. Next time you release an update for your apps (WD Discovery for Mac) please sign its components using a corp dev certificate issued to you, not a personal cert issued to one of your developers. Igor might be a nice guy, but I don't know him.
