Avast, me hearties! The White House is essentially giving out Letters of Marque to private companies to do some international hacking... Yarr!

The practice would align the United States more closely with countries like China and Russia, where spy agencies have long relied on private-sector hackers to help with national security missions.

Would you like to play a game?

Researchers were able to get AI browsers to hand over user credentials by including commands in a game on a webpage. Dubbed BioShocking, after a game where a brainwashed character will obey if their trigger phrase "Would you kindly?" is used, it is a form of prompt injection. It works because the AI agent sees both your commands and the content of the webpage as a single group of text, and can't always tell the difference.

Gooooood morning friends! Just popping in to remind y'all to never paste code you don't fully understand into your Windows Run Dialog window (or Terminal for the Mac folks.) I know that seems like a really obvious thing, right? Don't forget, criminals are *really REALLY good* at manipulating people to do what they want. Just keep it in the back of your mind that this is a thing that happens (a LOT) and to not fall for it. Allright? Allright.

🚨INDUSTRY ALERT🚨
The Silent Ransom Group (SRG), also known as Luna Moth, Chatty Spider, and UNC3753, is targeting law firms using social engineering techniques. Through phone calls and phishing emails, SRG actors pose as IT support to establish access to victim computers and exfiltrate data, usually through legitimate remote access tools or by sending an individual in-person to the victim company’s location to gain physical access to computers. While SRG has victimized companies in many sectors including those in the insurance, finance, and healthcare industries, the group has consistently targeted US-based law firms since Spring 2023.
