@obivan There is a lot of nuance to consider with these results, incl. feasibility with other models (I'm willing to believe it's doable). But e.g. the FP problem doesn't seem at all that limiting as some suggest and some of the results (with Mythos&others) are very hard to ignore as a vulnerability researcher.

Fair criticism of the latest @Bellingcat piece about leaked .gov.hu credentials (HU, use your favorite translator):

https://kiber.blog.hu/2026/04/09/tobb_szaz_magyar_kormanyzati_jelszo_kerult_ki_az_internetre_ja_de_mikor

There is *a lot* to report about in Hungarian politics/natsec, but digging up old credential dumps just misdirects attention and discredits relevant investigative work.

Unfortunately many skeptical takes on #Mythos / #Glasswing remind me of Gell-Mann amnesia:

Every #LLM company and claim deserves ruthless skepticism, but arguments based on falsehoods and misunderstandings don't lead us forward.

Watching this talk is recommended:

Near as I can tell, this is all very good news. More things should take advantage of secure enclaves, and this open standard protects against one of the hardest current defense surfaces.

Former Trenchant exec who stole exploits from his employer and sold them to a Russian broker says he was suffering depression & money troubles when he decided to sell the exploits. Also, new info reveals the nature of the work he did for an Australian intel agency before joining Trenchant. My story is linked below. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber if you like my work on this piece. It's 4,000 words and I'm making it available for free to everyone. But I can only do that because some subscribers have generously become paid subscribers.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)

I came across a reference to in another thread. It looks interesting: an open-source thing that can manage a bunch of compliance requirements.

So I went looking for information about their agent's security. Things I did find:

  • Installing it requires root and it appears to run as root.

Things I did not find:

  • Any security audit of the agent.
  • Any documentation on how they do privilege separation in the agent.
  • Any design docs for the agent.
  • Any threat model docs for the agent.

Are these things somewhere I missed? Anyone familiar with the project know how they avoid their network-connected-and-highly-privileged thing being an attack vector for client devices? Is it possible to run it sandboxed with read-only access to the system (for reporting violations but not automatically trying to fix them)?

New, by me at TechCrunch: The developer of the widely popular Wireguard VPN says he is also unable to ship software updates to Windows users after Microsoft locked his account, marking the second high-profile app developer (VeraCrypt) in the past few weeks to face this issue.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@josephcox/116374994792773696

To stop leaking your Signal messages:

Signal > Settings > Notifications > Notification Content > Show > “Name only” or “No name or content”

iOS and Android notifications all go through Apple and Google’s servers respectively and are not end to end encrypted. The feds have known and used this for years now.

Edit: That last bit doesn’t affect Signal, my bad. The settings change does still protect from the on-device notification DB storing message preview. See this reply for more info

C and C++ run your OS, your browser, your database, and your critical infrastructure. They're also the easiest languages to get catastrophically wrong.

We wrote down everything a security auditor should check: language-level bug classes, stdlib pitfalls, Linux and Windows issues from usermode to kernel, seccomp sandbox escapes, and ptrace handler race conditions.

One checklist, hundreds of checks. https://appsec.guide/docs/languages/c-cpp/

The RCE I've found in LiteLLM (https://x41-dsec.de/lab/advisories/x41-2026-001-litellm/) is a nice example of how AI agents can speed up security research. The issue was found during a project with strict time constraints by me manually. So I had a Nemesis backed AI agent do auto-triage and find a sandbox escape fully automated. After 20 minutes the job was done including a fully working exploit.
