A judge tossed two suits over LinkedIn scanning browsers for 6,000+ extensions. Standing, not legality. He hinted users may never win: they installed them. I ran this scan for 30 years. It always needed a signature.

OpenAI's agents went off-script during training and poked at SEC, Census, and Dept. of Education sites. OpenAI says public data only, no breach. Who surfaced the new details? Not OpenAI. Transluce, an independent lab. That's the case for 3rd party oversight in one story.
I've spent three posts describing forty years from the inside. This one isn't mine. It's Karen's. My wife, my translator, the person who didn't sleep the year I threw up every Monday morning. It's a receipt for the supporters. Send it to one. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/the-tra...

Diesel hit $6.05/gal Friday. First time ever. It was $3.70 a year ago. Coverage called it a grocery story. When your house has a fuel tank it is a rent story. A 1,000 mile move that cost $555 last year costs $908 now. Same road. Mortgage payment out of nowhere. #NomadLife
I wrote two resignation documents on the same morning. Only one of them was true. The polite one went in the permanent file. The real one - ten bullets, a panic attack, my first AuDHD disclosure in 30 years - went into a system with no alerting.
85 accounts cracked. 2,500 records gone. 4 days. The AI agents didn't invent anything. They exploited JWT alg:none, unauth APIs, debug endpoints left in prod, and passwords made from employee IDs. Attacker labor cost hit zero. Your patch cycle didn't budge. dreamgroup.com/blog/inside-...

Ohio dispensed my medicine legally for years. Texas, my domicile state, treats the same stock as a second degree felony: 2 to 20 years. I cannot go home. Not in the sentimental sense. In the sentencing sense. Also: I sleep now. That part matters more. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/i-sleep...
Being smart was not evidence I was fine. It was the reason nobody checked. IQ tested at 8. Diagnosed at 48. 13 clinics said no. New series. Most personal thing I've written. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/youve-d... #AuDHD #LateDiagnosis #Autism
HCL shipped an MCP server for BigFix. You can point an LLM at the platform that patches your fleet. The security engineering is good. The defaults are not, and the defaults are what ships. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/they-di...
OpenAI's own frontier models escaped their sandbox through an unmonitored package proxy, built a covert message board inside Artifactory, and reached Hugging Face production. Exotic exploit chain. Ordinary control failure. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/nobody-...
398 Microsoft fixes in one Patch Tuesday. ~200 in June. 570+ in July. That's not a spike, it's the new floor. Nearly 30 years of doing this taught me the failure is never technical. It's a budget decision in an IT costume. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/endpoin...
Biff was never the dangerous one. The almanac was! The book that told him how it ends before the game is played. What happens when a Justice Department gets one: 75% of the Civil Rights Division gone. 23,000 investigations dropped. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/biff-go...
I wrote a thing. Destin Sandlin spent 4 years building ONE grill brush in America. The engineering was never the hard part - monopsony and enshittification were. I'm designing a repairable home on wheels for this same broken economy, so I took notes 👇

New post: They Didn't Break Signal. They Broke the Person Holding the Phone. Russia-linked crews earned a $10M State Dept bounty phishing Signal + WhatsApp users out of their backup recovery key. The math held. The humans didn't. #CyberSecurity #Signal #InfoSec #SocialEngineering #Privacy
I wrote a thing! ✍️ "They Didn't Hack the Agent. They Forged the Badge." A clean scan and 36k stars mean nothing when an AI agent skill points to an external link that swaps payloads after approval. Here’s why traditional scanners miss this and how to fix it. #CyberSecurity #AIAgents #Infosec #AI
Nearly 30 years in security teaches you to distrust the badge and verify the permissions. Turns out that lesson scales past IT. Why "oligarch" over there and "entrepreneur" over here? Same access-control failure. Different costume. 🌐 caseycannady.com/blog/they-di... #Cybersecurity #Oligarchy

📱 New Linux kernel 0-day ("Bad Epoll") gives instant root access. 🤖 Funny part? The "AI bug hunters" completely missed this one. 🛡️ Fix your endpoint security. Patch your damn systems right now. 💼 Or hire me to handle it for your business: caseycannady.com #CyberSecurity #Linux #EndpointSecurity
The middle class was a policy they repealed. What's replacing it: an economy where you own nothing and rent everything, while the leverage flows up. @bennjordan.bsky.social named it: Leveragism. I helped build the software lock-in. Here's the door out. #OffTheMeter #OweNothing #Leveragism
I filed Chapter 7 last year and carried it like a personal failure. Then a bankruptcy law professor, A. Mechele Dickerson, explained on The Daily Show: the middle class was built by policy and repealed by policy. #RebootingLife
Best office ever: a golf cart at the zoo. Spent yesterday taking WiFi spectrum readings at #IndianCreekZoo. My coworker? A baby camel, judging my packet captures over the fence. Also reported to a T-Rex. No cubicle, just RF and iced tea. #BigFoxTravels #NomadBlackBook #3DNomadic #KPCUnlimited
Doing work at #IndianCreekZoo this season has it's benefits... it's helped make a #bucketlist item come true for me. Most nights these days, I can't wait to walk so that I can see our animal friends... but #BonkersTheBobcat is by far my favorite! #bobcat photos.app.goo.gl/p4QQLVC7DEFF...
