Microsoft lays off another **9000** game industry employees.

If accurate, would bring the number of game industry layoffs in the last four years to over 45,000.

This is not a large industry.

[RSS] Rising star: Meet Dylan, MSRC's youngest security researcher

2 posts I saw today:
- MS spends $80B on AI datacenters, even putting their bottom line at risk
- MS lays off thousands

I so wait for the moment when reality kicks in...

Can't help but notice that all the CTI vendors that were waving their arms like carwash inflatables about increased activity from Iran have little to say about the lack of increased activity from Iran, which was the reasonable expectation from the jump.

Had a coworker tell me "Don't let infosec get in the way of hacking" which feels like an intense bit of wisdom underneath it all.

#grsecurity users are unaffected by CVE-2025-32463 (sudo chroot option privesc) when a feature available since 2021 is enabled. Customers can view our KB article on an earlier vulnerability this year, CVE-2025-4802 for glibc, to see how exploitation is prevented in the same way.

Unveiled at #TROOPERS25 - Hexagon fuzzing unlocked

Hexagon is the architecture in Qualcomm basebands - they power most of the world's leading smartphones.

Until now, this baseband was out of reach.

We released the first open-source toolchain for system-mode Hexagon fuzzing, presented by Luca Glockow (@luglo), Rachna Shriwas, and Bruno Produit (@bruno) at @WEareTROOPERS

Full post: https://www.srlabs.de/blog-post/hexagon-fuzz-full-system-emulated-fuzzing-of-qualcomm-basebands

How we opened up mobile firmware in 3 steps:
1. Boot real iPhone basebands with a custom QEMU fork
2. Rust-powered fuzzer controls execution via JSON configs
3. Ghidra integration maps coverage across threads

This brings full visibility to Qualcomm’s 4G/5G/GPS stacks.

Reproducible. Extendable. Open source.

Hexagon’s no longer off-limits - mobile security just got a lot more transparent.
