It's going to be interesting to see if Microsoft switch from technical customer comms to crisis comms of Leslie Nielsen in front of a burning building

If you’re a Microsoft employee and you want to rubber neck, http://icms while on VPN. It has no access permissions (at least in 2021), you can just read all the major incident tickets live. It has a big banner at the top saying stop putting creds in tickets as anybody can read them 🤣

Microsoft, one of the worlds most profitable companies, after laying off 23% of their staff in the past two years and offering 27% of their remaining staff packages to leave and then naming a product Microsoft Vibing, adding product features called Vibe, declaring Copilot writes a majority of code and going all in on vibe coding:

The funniest thing is we’re now 16 hours into a Microsoft outage and I haven’t seen a single person internally or on social media complain about Copilot being down.

the idea that Jensen Huang is the only person that can run Nvidia, the GOD and SAVIOUR of the most important company in the world etc etc has one small problem: It's not true. He's just a guy. There are many guys. Stop promoting the idea that One Old Wise Dude runs a company.

A look at Mythos Frontier AI fact vs fiction using the data. Spoiler: there isn’t an AI apocalypse as predicted. There are only a few hundred CVEs and 0.5% of them are actively exploited. https://www.vulncheck.com/blog/anthropic-glasswing-november-update

There’s a fascinating situation playing out in China. - Massive boom in microdrama viewers, to the point where they established their own Hollywood - AI bros arrived and flooded the market with GenAI made microdramas - They all looked the same, people stopped watching microdramas - The market instantly crashed - only 1 in 70 shows are now profitable - The government is now trying to bail out the sector by paying them to rehire humans to make them https://note.com/eichan_sh/n/nb8234902a...

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@rebane2001/117580634604569849 Oh we’re buying CVE authorship now. Can’t wait to see the used car salesmen of InfoSec with CVEs on their resume.

Ueno Bank in Paraguay has collapsed leaving 3 million people without money. Paraguayan President Santiago Peña submitted his resignation and faces unanimous impeachment by the lower house of Congress. The bank had ties to the Trump administration via the country’s President. About 60% of adults in the country used the bank. People are turning up at the bank’s office. $37600 US dollars per customer is (was) the average deposit. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-11-05/paraguay-s-pen...

RE: https://mas.to/@carnage4life/117567174281074323 My favourite interview is this week Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, saying he was surprised by the data centre and AI backlash. My man, you’ve had people publicly saying AI will remove jobs, risks destabilising the economy, and has a decent chance of ending civilisation. These things may be executive-level porn - but many executives are psychopaths. Most people aren’t.

OpenSSH has a vuln condition which allows logging in without a password. A thread. https://www.openssh.org/releasenotes.html It only impacts Linux distributions which ship with musl libc and PAM disabled. I think that is just Alpine Linux (all versions) and Void Linux. It doesn’t impact Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Redhat or CentOS. Nor OpenWrt.

RE: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/117515798886610105 I’m aware of a ransomware group using PHP2Shell against Palo-Alto firewalls to gain initial access to orgs. They’re moving laterally off the PANOS box using stored creds to get inside network.
