My wife was at dinner with a bunch of other women the other night. Of a party of about 15, at least 12 of them had stories of their parents being scammed for a large amount of money. Even the scams that start online end up leveraging the ph

This is exactly the advice I give my customers - treat the llm as an untrusted entity. Implement authentication and authorization at the data access and api layer and ensure there is a secure side channel to communicate identity information

There was also the ZeniMax v Facebook trial and $500m judgement: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_v._Oculus But of course it sounds way more sinister if you tie his political donations to it.

The point of the article though is not about the technical details, it's a human interest story. It's about a guy, working in obscurity on an unrelated topic, stumbling upon what is arguably the biggest story in tech so far in 2

I don't understand the hate for the article. The article is written for a layperson audience, where the technical details would absolutely be eye-wateringly boring . Instead, the article (imo, correctly) focuses on the human side of t

I wonder if this is a reaction to the push to reduce interchange fees for credit cards by creating a new revenue stream that offsets the proposed changes. See https://handsoffmyrewards.com/

No offense to you but that man’s argument has strong “I beat my wife because she deserves it” vibes. The US has made more than its fair share of policy missteps. But to try and argue that the actions of the US somehow “forced” Russia to inv

I guess we all forget how to truly eliminate speech you don’t like: befriend a billionaire and sue the source of the unwanted speech out of existence (ref gawker).

The chatbot is a reflection of the entity that hosts it. See for example the judgment against Air Canada. The cost to host a chatbot to the public is significant so most of these will be hosted by a large corporation. Therefore the corporat

Fascinating about how ARM has made tremendous strides in the “high end” market since 2015. I would argue that I would categorize RISC as a “yes” with its absolute dominance on mobile and now moving into data center not to mention all the em

I’m not a particularly religious person but I’m running to Jesus if the future of the world includes worshipping LLMs, tyvm. This is absolutely absurd. The model has been trained on thousands of lines of ai short stories. No wonder it parro

So once again you turn this back into a Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory. I guess theres no moving on from something that happened seven years ago now. Last I checked, the guy who was running against her won and Obama peacefully transferre

I’m not sure how this shifts blame? In my opinion the blame sits squarely on the shoulders of the entity whose systems were exploited. Microsoft is responsible for the security of their systems, full stop. Doesn’t matter if the GRU did it o

You’re doing your own hand waving. Why does a computer in Venezuela make the trail go cold? I could have an agent working for me passing me customer lists from Venezuelian colo facilities. Combine that with knowledge of known shell entities

You’re overstating the technical capabilities at scale and understating just basic investigation techniques. “Buffering” absolutely happens for a variety of reasons. Tracking down the money or owning the operations infrastructure of the hos

Take this wildly simplified example. You are the attacker. You already have access to internal systems at Microsoft. Now you need to send the large amounts of data back to yourself, preferably without giving away your own location in the pr

Attributions are about more than the code flow. You also need infrastructure to funnel exfiltrated data back to yourself. As you can imagine, it’s harder to reuse someone else’s infrastructure. Easy to copy code patterns but you can’t exact

Sounds like you should have bled all over the computer and let them deal with it. The lack of empathy they showed is abhorrent. Ugh. I’m sorry to hear that.

Don't worry, we're speed running the last 50 years of computer security. What's old is now new again. Already looking at poor web application security on emerging AI/MLops tools making it rain like the 90's once aga
