When AI Agents Go Off Script Have you seen the reports circulating about an AI coding agent exposing sensitive information tied to a major aerospace company? The details are still unconfirmed, and no major outlet has verified the specifics, so treat it as a warning sign rather than a settled fact.

The Question Behind the Breach Headlines Did your support inbox fill up with the same panicked question the moment Chainalysis disclosed its breach?

A certificate authority — one of the entities browsers trust to vouch that a website is actually who it claims to be — got pulled from the TLS ecosystem after the kind of security lapse that undermines the entire reason a CA exists. One day it's a trusted root.

A Chatbot Problem That Isn't About Chatbots Meta's AI app has a sharing feature that lets users publish their chatbot conversations to a public feed.

The Promise That Never Delivered Every agency pitch deck from the last five years had some version of the same slide: post daily, show up on every platform, respond to every comment within the hour, and watch your brand become unmissable.
