With another record Patch Tuesday, the vulnerability graphs continue to demonstrate what we all know: this is new territory. This screenshot isolates the figures for Microsoft alone. More graphs to be explored at vulntrends.org. #vulnerabilities #PatchTuesday #bugpocalypse

The race between automated exploitation and human-led remediation is accelerating. As "time to exploit" shrinks, the challenge for defenders becomes one of scale and speed. Read more at vulntrends.org/blog/when-vu... #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #VulnerabilityManagement
Hear me out: cold frothy milk on your breakfast cereal. Try it and thank me later. Tips for frothing: - Use a french press/cafetière; plunge vigorously - Use semi-skimmed milk or barista-style plant-based alternatives (oat-based is great) #breakfast #upgrade
Can't quite believe what I'm reading. (Another great Brian Krebs article.) krebsonsecurity.com/2026/08/whos... Krebs: "The only sane reaction ... is to block all online ads outright." Bear in mind that he does run (light) advertising on his own site. #advertising #malvertising #privacy #safety

It can be daunting to determine who's responsible for showing ads on the websites we visit, or who's harvesting data from the mobile apps we use every day. That information is already semi-public, but...

The "which vendor patches the fastest" question has three different answers depending on the metric. Mozilla, Google Chrome and Microsoft lead on VulnTrends' data. vulntrends.org/blog/which-v... #patching #vulnerabilities #msrc #mttp #infosec
Microsoft's July Patch Tuesday was 622 CVEs — the largest ever. Three zero-days, 13 at CVSS 9.8, 422 in Windows alone. Microsoft says AI is part of the discovery picture. Read more: vulntrends.org/blog/the-evo... #vulnerabilities #PatchTuesday #AISecurity #Microsoft
VulnTrends v1.2.0 is out! This update improves the quality of the underlying data and adds explanatory pages to provide context behind every chart. The goal is simple: make software vulnerability trends easier to understand, not just easier to visualise. vulntrends.org #CyberSecurity #AppSec
I've enhanced the data gathered for VulnTrends (v1.1.0), and the picture is even more pronounced than originally seen. It's impossible (and irresponsible) to ignore the impact of frontier (or well-harnessed) LLMs on vulnerability discovery. vulntrends.org #bugpocalpyse #ai #llm #vulnerabilities
Project Glasswing exposed a structural problem in cybersecurity: discovery is no longer the bottleneck. 1,596 high-severity findings across 281 open-source projects: 97 were patched. The exploit window is now hours. vulntrends.org/blog/ai-find... #cybersecurity #opensource #AI #vulnerabilities
Every year brings more CVEs, more advisories and more emergency patches. Does that actually mean software is becoming less secure? I took a deep dive into the data, the history of software engineering, and the emerging impact of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery. vulntrends.org/blog/softwar...
We've entered a different phase of vulnerability discovery. I built vulntrends.org to visualise trends across major vendors, and the "Vulnerabilities Discovered" graph really highlights what's been happening over the last few months. Curious what others think.
This is open source software at its best. I logged an issue with DesktopManager (github.com/EvotecIT/Des...) Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday evening, the developer Przemysław Kłys had fixed the problem and released a new version. Thank you, @przemyslaw.evotec.xyz 🙏🏻 #OpenSource #PowerShell #Thanks
