 Finally, an agentic AI feature I actually want. Apple Intelligence can log into your accounts and reset a hacked password on its own. Password hygiene is the one thing almost nobody keeps up with, and this just handles it. gizmodo.com/apple-intell... #AI #InfoSec

My latest @ @forbes.com SaaS vendors R shipping AI default-on and handing you the governance bill. Zoom auto-enabled AI Companion. @microsoft.com installed Copilot. Default-on is a choice. So is governance. www.forbes.com/councils/for... @rhr-international.bsky.social @depauluniversity.bsky.social

600+ operating systems from 1948 to 2011, pre-configured and ready to boot in one archive. One person has been building it since 2003. For teaching or security research, it's close to the sandbox you always wished existed. www.theverge.com/tech/945246/... #InfoSec #Cybersecurity

Google's defense for false AI Overviews: don't blindly trust them. But the product only works if you do? A German court caught the contradiction and held Google liable for what its AI says. Always 'Trust, but Verify!' arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... #AI #RiskManagement #TrustButVerify

Spending Saturday at BSides312. The best security conversations in Chicago happen at this thing, not at expensive conferences with vendor booths. Irish American Heritage Center, 9 am. Come say hi. bsides312.org #BSides312 #Cybersecurity #InfoSec @bsides312.org

Spent tonight with FBI Chicago, AITP, & InfraGard. Topic: Flipper Zero. A $200 device can clone your badge and walk right through your access controls. Your org's physical security program probably didn't account for that. aitpchicago.com/event-6680905 #Cybersecurity #PhysicalSecurity

🤦🏻‍♂️ A CISA contractor disabled GitHub's secret scanner, then posted AWS GovCloud admin keys to a public repo called "Private-CISA." The keys stayed valid 48 hours after disclosure. 🤬 krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa... #CISA #GovCloud #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity

Google Cloud Next, still processing 260 product announcements. For CIOs: every AI agent now gets a cryptographic ID & audit trail. Google built the governance stack. Looking forward to diving into Gemini & Chrome Enterprise cloud.google.com/blog/topics/... #GoogleNext #AIGovernance #CIO

Surveillance pricing is here. The Washington Post used one subscriber's personal data to push her price from $42 in 2024 to $148 today. She only knows an algorithm set it because a NY law forced the disclosure. gizmodo.com/washington-p... #Privacy #AI
