Last night's slopfest surrounding the bogus PHP exploit and the subsequent panic wave is a perfect example of why good cybersecurity researchers are still needed, why LLMs are not infallible, and why critical thinking cannot be automated away.
AI can accelerate research, but clanker confidence is not evidence and consensus built on unverified claims in the end is still just speculation.
Next time we might not be so fortunate, so maybe as a community we need to tighten and review how we handle patching and assume leaks will happen and be prepared to counter that.

The private keys for these certs are literally the numbers 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, and 237 (life imitates XKCD, again).

A global credential-compromise campaign known as FortiBleed is actively targeting internet-facing Fortinet FortiGate firewalls and secure socket layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN) gateways. Today, the @FBI and @SecretService issued a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory to warn organizations about this activity.
Threat actors are exploiting reused or leaked credentials and legacy SHA-256 password storage, enabling threat actors to harvest and crack authentication at scale. More than 86,644 devices have been compromised across 194 countries, with some organizations locked out of systems.
We encourage organizations to review the advisory for TTPs and IOCs associated with this activity and implement our recommended mitigations.

ALT Joint cybersecurity advisory warns of ongoing FortiBleed attacks causing system lockouts as of October 6, 2026.

.@SECWAR “Today—at my direction—we are launching FORTRESS America—a national insurance policy for the American homeland.
FORTRESS stands for: Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability.
And here is what FORTRESS calls for:
Every major military installation in America is going to generate its own power. Independent of the civilian grid. If an adversary takes down the grid—by cyberattack, by sabotage, by any means—our bases stay lit. Our aircraft keep flying. Our command centers never go dark.
We are bringing our critical supply chains home. The rare earths, the specialty metals, the semiconductors, the propellants—mined in America, refined in America, built in America, by American workers.”
