🇺🇸😱 INCROYABLE — Luke AIKINS a sauté d’un avion à 7 620 MÈTRES d’altitude… SANS PARACHUTE. ✈️💀 Il a atterri sain et sauf sur un FILET de 30 × 30 mètres, entrant dans l’HISTOIRE. 🤯👏

Two years after we started the company, Gartner tracks the problem we set out to solve as a market in its own right and puts Pillar at the disruptive edge of it. The report, written by Meghan Hollis, Dionisio Zumerle, Dennis Xu, and Marissa Schmidt, covers the market for securing the AI applications and agents that enterprises build and run themselves, a problem that has grown from protecting chatbots to protecting software that holds credentials, uses tools, and acts on its own. Pillar was built for exactly that problem.

𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵, our autonomous red-teaming agent, tests those workflows continuously for goal hijacking, prompt injection, tool misuse, memory poisoning, and privilege escalation, and produces replayable evidence of every successful attack path. 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 protection then evaluates agent activity as it happens and blocks harmful actions before they execute. A finding from RedGraph becomes a runtime policy, and the next test run confirms the fix holds.

Today, at Secretary Hegseth's direction, the Department of War is starting the creation of the Autonomous Warfare Command. This will be a new 4-star combatant command—with service-like authorities—built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the Joint Force in the fastest peacetime shift in modern military history.

🚨 WOW! President Trump claims a PLUMBER intervened and prevented 100+ deaths during the AirDubai hijacking earlier today, and grabbed the stick to LEVEL OFF the plane Why, you ask? Because the man was a fan of "AIR DISASTERS," a show that documents plane crashes TRUMP: "I don't like watching it because bad things happen." 🤣 "But he said he watches it a lot and he learned from watching that show sort of how to fly." "An Israeli plumber saw what was happening and was strong. You know, when you lift pipe all day, you're strong. And he saw what was going on and he heard the screaming." "He grabbed the stick, pulled it up, leveled out the plane before it crashed. I think it's like Jeff. I think it's true. Pretty incredible."

🔥🚨 BREAKING — Hero Pilot IDENTIFIED as Indian National Smit Machchhar. After being STABBED, he OPENED the cockpit door so passengers could assist. After the Omani MUSLIM co-pilot put a knife in him, he was on the floor, bleeding, and he still clicked the cockpit open so the crew and passengers could get in and stop a crash. That is why 174 people are hugging families in Israel instead of being a crater. God bless this man. Pray he pulls through. Treat the attacker like the terrorist Israel already named. Investigate.

What a "surprisingly" good ending.
This man is a hero. Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit. Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers. Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives. Indian. Israeli. Emirati. Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪 We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

Over-permissioned AI agents usually aren't built that way... teams grant broad scopes to move fast, then never tighten. Fix: deny by default, scope to task + resource + action, JIT elevation, keep tightening, have a kill switch. Good read from @osoHQ api.cyfluencer.com/s/how-to-…

This video of the flight from Dubai plunging as the co-pilot appears to have tried to crash it is chilling. There were 174 passengers headed to Tel Aviv including 27 children. You can hear the kids scream. Thank goodness for the heroes on board.

🔥🚨 BREAKING — Graphic footage from inside the flydubai cabin shows the stabbed pilot after the cockpit fight. Blood on the shirt, the plane already in a dive, passengers living a hijacking in real time. The co-pilot, with a knife, stabbed the Captain in an attempt to bring the plane down. Fourteen thousand feet gone in under 30 seconds. Israelis and extra crew TOOK BACK the cockpit. Saudi arrested the terrorist on the ground. Families watching a horror they were never supposed to see. The attacker is a TERRORIST; treat him like one.

🇦🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺 A RUSSIAN AND A UKRAINIAN SAVED THE DAY After much confusion, it turns out a Ukrainian and a Russian pilot were on board the FlyDubai plane. Both took control of the plane and landed it after the second pilot attacked the captain. Both are pilots who were flying as regular passengers in civilian clothes. After the incident, they replaced the crew in the cockpit and landed the plane. Russians and Ukrainians work together… a much better end to this story!

Louvre thieves came in through a window no camera watched. SOCs have the same blind spot... DNS, flow logs and raw EDR get cut first to save on SIEM costs. As a forensicator, those are prolly the logs I need most. Worth a read on federated indexing: scanner.dev/blog/what-is-fed…
