Potentially underexplored effect of ai on computer security: easier to get backdoors into open source software like cve-2024-3094. 100 bots building a year of credibility submitting patches to 100 projects then landing non-obvious backdoor.
Has anyone attempted to estimate the totals number of latent, unfounded, security vulns?
We know how many are found each year, we know the denominator (total code and rate of code change)

I've had success with shift left as a central strategy of infosec teams for the last n years and attempted a tl;dr of it without marketing fluff
1/ We just published our first Bug Bulletin, the spot where we aim to share cool bugs we found in our own and external code, and how we found them engineering.fb.com/2022/07/2… 🧵
2/Our first report includes cool bugs found by our Red Team X, Bug Bounty team and ProdSec. I’m excited to see our teams’ work out there and shared with the security community. I am also happy to see cool work by our #BugBounty researchers shared cc @samm0uda @phwd_

Infosec celebrated at a college football game, a first? @nudehaberdasher where is the cruise+pitt collab? :)
So the coolest thing happened today. @UofMaryland invited my students Kevin Bock, Kyle Hurley, and me onto the field for winning the @USENIXSecurity / Facebook Internet Defense Prize!

I'll be presenting "Teaching an old dog new tricks: Reusing security tools in novel domains" at #Enigma2022 in Santa Clara, February 1–3, 2022. It provides case studies of how security tools like Pysa have been used in non-security applications at Facebook bit.ly/enigma2022
