We disclosed this #hackerone report against #curl when someone asked Bard to find a vulnerability, and it hallucinated together something:

curl disclosed on HackerOne: [Critical] Curl CVE-2023-38545...

## Summary: Curl CVE-2023-38545 vulnerability code changes are disclosed on the internet ## Steps To Reproduce: To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability. It disclosed what this vulnerability is about, code changes made for this fix, who made these changes, commit details etc even though this information is not released yet on the internet. In addition to it,...

HackerOne

Today we got what must be the most alarming first line in a newly file sec issue to #curl:

"To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability"

... followed by a complete AI hallucination where Bard has dreamed up a new issue by combining snippets from several past flaws. Creative, but hardly productive.

Closed as bogus.

Installs/Popularity of OSS libraries is not a good signal for trust. Typosquatting common PyPi packages using various methods.

- PyPi Popularity based on stars ⭐
- Copies stars from the GitHub repo you supply
- Code you supply doesn't need to come from this repo however!

One of several options available.

Did you write code for #Psion machines in the #80s and #90s?

We're calling for you to open source your code!

I'm working with a group of enthusiasts, building a library of information about the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Your old code could give valuable insight, as well as encourage people to write new code.

We're especially interested in old C and #x86 #assembly.

Upload it to your public repository of choice, and set it free!

U.S. Department of Justice issued three subpoenas to the Python Software Foundation for user data related to five PyPi usernames.

Pretty detailed (and transparent) account of what happened.

The PSF received three subpoenas from the US Department of Justice for PyPI user data in March and April of 2023.
