Seriously? *This* is News?

Right, so apparently the script kiddies and actual bad guys have discovered generative AI. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking. The article basically says threat actors are using this GenAI crap – you know, ChatGPT and all that garbage – to write better phishing emails (because humans are SO easily fooled), automate reconnaissance (like they didn’t already have tools for that, the morons), and even generate code for malware. Like we needed *another* way for them to be more efficient at screwing things up.

They’re also using it to bypass security measures – because apparently a slightly-more-convincing email is going to defeat multi-factor authentication. Give me a break. It’s all about speed and scale, naturally. More phish, faster attacks, less effort for them. The usual.

The article drones on about how defenders need to adapt (like we haven’t been adapting since the first email was sent) and improve detection methods. Yeah, no shit. It’s a constant arms race, except *they* get all the new toys and we’re stuck patching vulnerabilities in systems older than I am.

Oh, and they mention deepfakes are coming too. Because why not add another layer of existential dread to the mix? Honestly, if you click on links from unknown senders or download random executables, you deserve whatever happens to you. Seriously.

And a Story For Ya…

I once had to clean up after an intern who thought it was a *brilliant* idea to use a public AI tool to “summarize” the company’s incident response plan. It helpfully rewrote the entire thing as a haiku. A HAIKU. The CEO nearly had a stroke. Don’t trust these things, people. Don’t. Just…don’t.
