More Than Dashboards: AI Decisions Must Be Provable

What happens to all of those always-connected devices and Internet of Things when the cloud goes down? Disruptions to sleep, school, and smart homes, just to name a few issues.

Despite adding alignment training, guardrails, and filters, large language models continue to jump their imposed rails and give up secrets, make unfiltered statements, and provide dangerous information.

Researchers observed exploitation attempts against a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10 in a popular Erlang-based platform for critical infrastructure and OT development.

This week’s recap shows how small gaps are turning into big entry points. Not always through new exploits, often through tools, add-ons, cloud setups, or workflows that people already trust and rarely question. Another signal: attackers are mixing old and new methods. Legacy botnet tactics, modern cloud abuse, AI assistance, and supply-chain exposure are being…

Every security team has a version of the same story. The quarter ends with hundreds of vulnerabilities closed. The dashboards are bursting with green. Then someone in a leadership meeting asks: “So, are we actually safer now?” Crickets. The room goes quiet because an honest answer requires context – which is something that patch counts…

From unpatched cars to hijacked clouds, this week’s Threatsday headlines remind us of one thing — no corner of technology is safe. Attackers are scanning firewalls for critical flaws, bending vulnerable SQL servers into powerful command centers, and even finding ways to poison Chrome’s settings to sneak in malicious extensions. On the defense side, AI…
