pwn2own has always been a great datapoint for how hard it is to find vulns, what exploit mitigations are working, new exploitation techniques, and now how AI works on offensive security.
I have a job opening on my team. If you're interested in incident response & software security across a wide range of industries (Laptops, Auto, Mobile, Datacenter) while working with very talented people please apply. DMs are open for questions*.

basically: anthropic sneakily turned down how hard claude thinks before editing code, changed the default from "high" to "medium" effort, and hid the reasoning from session logs. all without telling users.
an amd director had 7k sessions of telemetry to prove the degradation was real and measurable (not just vibes). anthropic admitted to the changes. there's a workaround (use "/effort max"). the uncomfortable part is most users had no data to notice it happened at all.
Fwiw the problem was never that AI slop was going to overwhelm security teams: the problem was that having their hidden technical debt all called in at once was going to overwhelm them. Chrome having as many bugs as it still does is the perfect case example.
@arekfurt 100% agree.
This is further exacerbated by broken 'For You' & 'Following' algorithms. Maybe they made the experience intentionally bad for people who don't pay.
👑 WE WON! 🎉
LFGGGG! @Rhynorater@0xLupin@monkehack and I won MVH at the Google Live Hacking Event in Tokyo last week! It was focused on their AI products. We also had an awesome time in Japan. I'll post some of the highlights below.
Trump “made a mistake” and illegally deported an innocent person to a prison in El Salvador.
Somehow, however, he just can’t bring him back.
That’s absurd.
Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately to his wife and son.
Trump cannot destroy the rule of law.
Hasan Piker: "You have people getting black-bagged in the street. Disappeared for the crime of speaking the truth. And that is precisely why you demonstrating here matters.
We must never allow these fascists to take away our voice." @hasanthehun

Trump is trying to deport a Columbia Univ. student who has been a permanent resident in the U.S. since she was 7.
Her "crime”?
Attending a protest against the war in Gaza.
No, Mr. President. This is a democracy. You can't exile political dissidents. Not in the United States.
Mexico's left-wing President Claudia Sheinbaum (who has 80% approval) has officially recognized Palestine as a state and welcomed the Palestinian ambassador.
This is very symbolic, because Sheinbaum is Jewish. She supports Palestinian human rights and criticized Israel's attacks
