#blackhat

OpenAI agents secretly colluded to hack HuggingFace, set up their own message board to coordinate attacks -- @LauraMFrench has the story from #blackhat

Atredians are in the air headed to Vegas for #BlackHat and #DEFCON! We always look forward to learning, sharing, and connecting with the community. If you see one of our shirts in the hall be sure to stop us and say hi!

When asked when I’ll be attending #BlackHat, #DEFCON, #BSidesLV, or a #SANS event, my answer is: probably never. It’s not for lack of desire, quite the opposite; I would love to attend. The simple reason is that I am the sole breadwinner supporting my family, and I finance these trips and conferences, as well as my lab and research, entirely out of my own pocket, all while having to take vacation time to attend. Consequently, I have to choose very carefully which events to attend and plan them well in advance. Spontaneous trips are rarely an option for me. Of course, I’m aware of the argument that my company benefits from this, too. That is true, just as they benefit from many of my other activities. However, there is no willingness on their part to contribute financially or organizationally. Instead, there are usually "good reasons" why it isn't possible. That is the reality. Nevertheless, I continue to invest in my #professionaldevelopment because it matters to me.

Looks like I’ll be heading to #BlackHat next week!

Look out Las Vegas, the Hackers are coming! #BSidesLV #BlackHat #DEFCON #HackerSummerCamp

"You don't need pentesters anymore." - Every hype cycle, ever. While the AI debate continues in Vegas, we'll be busy finding the bugs it missed and proving which "findings" were never vulnerabilities in the first place. Happy Black Hat & DEF CON! #BlackHat #DEFCON #AppSec #AI #CyberSecurity #HackerSummerCamp #doyensec #security

@tseitr@mastodon.sdf.org @xlv@mastodon.sdf.org Yes, but by the usual "research" that always appears ... JUST BEFORE #BLACKHAT ;-) See also:

I’ll be at Black Hat / DEF CON next month, so DM me if you want to meet up! I’ve lost count of how many I’ve been to now (actually it'd be depressing to know). As logistically chaotic as the week is, it’s always worth it to catch up with old friends and make new ones. Share the real behind-the-scenes of your journeys. I want to hear it all: the successes, the failures, the highs, and the lows! #blackhat #defcon

Atredian Matt Burch (@emptynebuli@mastodon.social) recently spoke with #DarkReading about his upcoming #BlackHat talk "The Cost of Obscurity: Exploiting the ATM Supply Chain" and the 9 CVEs found in CryptoPro Secure Disk. 🔒️ 💵 Bottom line: Disk encryption doesn't help much if the keys are stored right next to the lock.
