Your Feed Went Quiet for a Month. Here's What to Post This Week

The Bootkit Nobody Saw Coming Security researchers disclosed a UEFI bootkit last week that infects fully patched Windows machines and survives a clean OS reinstall.

Why Your Brand Shouldn't Be the Crash Test Dummy for a New AI Model

What Still Gets a Click When AI Answers the Question First

A Flaw Nobody Could See Did you catch the recent disclosure about a UEFI firmware flaw sitting in the boot process of a huge share of the world's servers? Security researchers found it buried in code that runs before the operating system even loads, the kind of layer most of us never think about because it just works until it doesn't.

When Infrastructure Breaks, Social Media Becomes the Only Trustworthy Source

A Flaw in the Foundation A critical flaw in UEFI firmware, the code that runs before your operating system even boots, was disclosed recently and it affects server hardware across nearly every major vendor.
