Weekly Update 505

Well, that didn’t last long! Recording this on Saturday morning my time, I observed ShinyHunters having gone quiet since the massive haul that would have been the Instructure ransom. It was two weeks almost to the hour since I’d first heard rumour of payment being made, and I posited that groups like this often go…

Microsoft May security patch fails for some due to boot partition size glitch

“Something didn’t go as planned. Undoing changes.” That’s all the clue some Windows 11 users will get when Microsoft’s May Security Update fails to install because of insufficient free space on the EFI System Partition (ESP), leaving their systems unprotected by the dozens of patches it contained.

What works against Mythos today is what worked against ransomware 5 years ago, and malware 10-15 years ago

Mythos completely changed the game, except, in most ways, it didn’t. It isn’t creating entirely new security problems, it simply makes existing problems much easier to exploit at scale. Yes, AI will increase breaches by making attacks faster and cheaper, but the way companies defend themselves hasn’t fundamentally changed. The organizations best prepared for AI-driven…

Though I reviewed Apple’s recently-introduced MacBook Neo, M5 MacBook Air, and M5 Max MacBook Pro, I didn’t look at Apple’s new displays. But it is noteworthy that even these products open up new opportunities for the company. That’s because Apple this week gained FDA clearance for the Medical Imaging Calibration feature introduced in the Studio Display XDR. Just as the affordable MacBook Neo opens…

Leak reveals Anthropic’s ‘Mythos,’ a powerful AI model aimed at cybersecurity use cases

Anthropic didn’t intend to introduce Mythos this way. Details of what it calls its most capable AI model yet surfaced through a data leak in its content management system (CMS), revealing a LLM with sharply improved reasoning and coding skills.

ThreatsDay Bulletin: Codespaces RCE, AsyncRAT C2, BYOVD Abuse, AI Cloud Intrusions & 15+ Stories

This week didn’t produce one big headline. It produced many small signals — the kind that quietly shape what attacks will look like next. Researchers tracked intrusions that start in ordinary places: developer workflows, remote tools, cloud access, identity paths, and even routine user actions. Nothing looked dramatic on the surface. That’s the point. Entry…
