A screenshot from a video released on Telegram claiming to show how Meta’s AI customer support bot could be tricked into resetting a target’s password.

Schneier - Vulnerability Disclosure in the Age of AI

New article: “ Responsible Disclosure in the Age of AI: A Call for Urgent Action ,” by Melissa Hathaway. Abstract: Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the balance between vulnerability discovery and remediation. Frontier AI models are now capable of autonomously identifying exploitable software vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed and scale. This development exposes decades of accumulated technical debt created by a software industry that prioritized rapid deployment over secure-by-design engineering practices. Drawing on the evolution of software assurance, vulnerability disclosure frameworks, and U.S. cyber policy, this perspective argues that the current moment represents a strategic inflection point for governments, industry, and critical infrastructure operators. The author examines the growing tension between offensive and defensive equities in cyberspace, the emergence of AI-enabled vulnerability discovery capabilities in both the U.S. and China, an...

The Hacker News - The Security Growth Platform: Why MSPs Are Moving Beyond vCISO Tools

Three years ago, the practical question for an MSP building a cybersecurity practice was which "vCISO platform" to buy. The term was good shorthand for the work at the time: assessments, advisory, reporting, maybe a compliance module bolted on the side. The work has since outgrown the descriptor. A Security Growth Platform is the more precise name for what MSPs and MSSPs need from the software from The Hacker News https://thehackernews.com/2026/06/the-security-growth-platform-why-msps.html
