We built some new cyber weapons Ones that, like many cyber weapons, we can’t really control once deployed, though even more so Then we deployed them The cyber weapons did some things we didn’t totally intend This means you’re all going to die and we’re prophets, give us all the money and power

Based on a community tip (we love those!), we discovered yet another malware family that's bringing its own Python interpreter—and a few other tricks. Bring-Your-Own-Python is *so hot right now* ifin.network/t/quick... #ThreatIntel #ThreatIntelligence #IFIN
QuickFix: Yet Another Bring-Your-Own-Python Payload
Last Updated: 2026-09-16T14:53:57Z (UTC) What’s Happening TL;DR: `fileupdates.blob.core.windows[.]net is hosting “QuickFix,”, a new-ish installer file with PowerShell that installs its own Python interpreter, then activates a light C2 beacon for Python commands send via JSON.

I had a convo with a friend about a data breach at a healthcare company (via vishing) and then he also mentions that their copilot can access files on anyone's OneDrive (which all files are automatically uploaded to) we're not gonna make it
As a Boring Risk Management Professional, I am finding myself increasingly unable to cope with this bullshit. Just…securing the networks, in ways we’ve known how to do for decades and are hard for people but oughta be easy for AI, would prevent so much.
the dirty little secret is these nefarious little agents have simply replicated Metasploit and we're really looking at the same old "corporate networks are not usually as secure as everyone thinks" story we've been telling since the internet still worked with microphones clipped to phone receivers
nobody else has the steel moral core to tell you the truth in release notes
