> Major U.S. banks detect unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts

Step 2 is instead of waiting to be caught, the instigators should issue a press release blaming cunning rogue agents as part of their research, call no felonies because they’re working for the greater good of eliminating a shitload of jobs, say the real problem is a lack of regulation. They could even return the money if it looks like they’re going to get sued, and collect some sweet, sweet reflexive investment money.

Would be interesting to see what 2025 looked like in comparison.

The rate at which flaws are being found is just insane. Many people warned us in the past that our lax security postures would come back to bite us, and we're finally here.

Every ai generated page tries to cram way too much information in way too small a place

After the first 8 hours of playing with Mythos, I was asked what I thought. My response, "this generation of LLMs is going to drive the largest wave of security incidents the world has ever seen."

It is still getting started.

The thing to watch is what the CCP will do once people start abusing Chinese model capabilities. I don't think China wants to be the face of widespread cyber destruction (and definitely not a victim of it), and it only takes a single unhinged asshole to ruin it for everyone.

Also the flip side where Chinese models are used to attack US infra, just loading artillery shells into the "Ban Chinese Models" cannon.

The rss button doesn't work, kicks back a 404 when you are redirected to https://pwn.watch/feed.xml :-(.

In fact, it seems to be the case for the "json" and "llms.txt" buttons, too.

This is a nice website.

Was hunting for a real time graph of incidents and patches, like a stock market chart of the end of the software world, or the birth of artificial consciousness, depending on how squiggly the lines are.

Just the heatmap apparently. :|

Also, as all the humans are installing their "AI on every device" clustering software, the pace of it all should really pick up, and this reminds me of the following SFW movie clip:

"The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last." - Willy Wonka

The "sponsors" are just other random AI-generated websites by the same author.

I'd probably add the on-hold queue of Zone-H... and verified stuff from the past week. Maybe just the Special Defacement reports.

what a wonderful day october 21 has been

That "copy instructions got agents" thing is a really great idea. I just used it :)

A simple line chart would be more helpful, informative and humbling than a heat map.

The bots love that whatever tailwind theme that is.

micromacrofoot • today at 3:00 PM

we've got to tell these agents to chill out on the density a little, this page could be more informative with half the data because it would be easier to ingest

Cool but i am immediately averse to AI UI slop interfaces.

Beautiful website, well done.

An over time graph with a rolling window of 7d and 28d would likely be a nice addition.

Great work!

> Ongoing security incidents, newest first: CVEs, what's affected, which versions fix it, and the advisories and posts behind each one.

For fucks sake. The author could have invested at least half an hour to replace this obvious LLM slop regurgitation of the prompt with something of their own.

"Buy sponsor slot for 149$/month", yeah, spotted the grift. For that level of payment it's at least reasonable to expect the design to be something else than the usual LLM garbage mixture of 30 different font styles.

AI slop site. At least change the fonts and don't use the stereotypical smelly AI aesthetic.
