I keep seeing people talking about the rising dangers of "AI-generated spam" (including in some scaremail cybersecurity spam...) but I wonder if there's actually any backing to that beyond hype? Like has someone headed out into the dark web and asked on the spambot forums if people are seeing increased hitrates per message sent or are they just assuming that "computer faster than human, therefore more spam, therefore more danger"? If it's the latter I'm really not sure it holds up. If anything the increased computation cost of "crafting" a message with some LLM is going to be way more than writing a script that just prunes the token before the first dot and shoves it after "Dear " in the template.

Bad warrior, bad poet, pretty good at procrastination. SQUAAAAWK!
Anyone suddenly getting spam from [email protected] with an envelope name of "Cyber Safety"? Says reach out to [email protected] for info but the mailbox bounces as full. I'm going to be blacklisting this domain I think.
Welp. I had paused updates on my Windows 11 machine and yet somehow copilot installed itself anyway on 22H2. Fuck sake Microsoft.
Anyone happen to know what the bit that sits into the door frame perpendicular to the main part of a striker plate is called? I've got a problem with my bedroom door not latching properly and while this isn't exactly a high-stake deployment, I do want to know if modifying the plate would have implications in practice.

I enjoy those times where I watch a tutorial someone puts together for some hacking thing and I'm sitting there going "what if you try the stupid thing?" the whole way along, and then in the end it's the super sneaky trick that they were holding in reserve to blow you away all along. Feels like getting confirmation that I am underestimating my skills.
@mikebabcock @hacks4pancakes I was also right, but I was not at all diplomatic about it. It was quite the opportunity to make enemies that I barely avoided.
Does anyone actually look at the #OpenBugBounty platform's contact page? My account over there has added a random Twitter account and there doesn't seem to be a way to remove it. I have no idea WTF is going on.
A real interesting thing you might not notice about Oliver Craughwell unless you're in the field, but he talks about security in the same way the UK recruiters do: "Cyber".
Points to a somewhat cargo-cult cluelessness about the whole thing, even if him managing to scare up government support for the industry would benefit me personally.
