they're calling it "Black October" and i don't think people realize how serious this is

in the last 48 hours there have been over 27 major cybersecurity incidents. not in a month. not in a week. in 48 hours

any ONE of these would normally be the biggest story of the year

PHP: critical vulnerability in the software running 80% of the web. severity 9.2 out of 10

Node.js: high-severity flaw letting attackers take over servers remotely. affects versions 22, 24, and 26

Java: also compromised. three of the most used programming languages on earth hit at the same time

GitLab: a perfect 10 out of 10 severity hole in every version since 2014

Railway: hosting platform compromised. API keys for OpenAI, Claude, Stripe potentially exposed

Signal: a bug that could leave your mic and camera on after you hang up

WordPress: hackers stole a plugin maker's keys and planted backdoors on websites

LiteLLM: an AI tool downloaded 3.4 million times a day was poisoned with a password stealer

and that's not even half the list

thousands of AI agent swarms are reportedly scanning and attacking vulnerable servers right now. automated. around the clock

security researchers are saying this might be the early stages of a global cyber incident that nobody fully understands yet

if you run a website, use cloud services, store API keys on hosting platforms, or use any software built on PHP, Node.js, or Java you are potentially affected

update everything. rotate your API keys. change your passwords on critical services. enable 2FA everywhere you haven't already

this is not a normal week on the internet. this is something different

Helpful prompt about what to do if the internet goes down due to a global cyberattack/AI swarm.

This seems less insane with every passing day.

I also bought myself the SAS Survival Guide, which is essentially a bush manual for almost every imaginable outcome.

Money
- Keep cash at home, about two to four weeks of essentials, in small bills.
- Write down your bank, credit card and insurance account details and phone numbers on paper.

Information and contacts
- Print a contact list with family, close friends, neighbors, doctors and the kids' school.
- Agree on a family meeting point and plan in case phones are down, such as "if we can't reach each other, meet at X by Y time."
- Export and print or save offline anything business-critical.
- Download offline maps
- Keep paper copies of passports, IDs, insurance cards and prescriptions.

Communication
- Get a battery or hand-crank AM/FM/NOAA radio, which will be your main news source.
- Consider a pair of walkie-talkies or GMRS radios for the family.
- Keep a landline-style backup in mind. Most "landlines" now run over the internet, so don't count on yours.

Power
- Keep power banks charged, plus a solar charger or a larger portable power station.
- Have flashlights, headlamps and spare batteries.

Water and food (aim for 2 weeks)
- Store about 1 gallon of water per person per day. In a high-rise this matters most, because building water pumps need electricity.
- Stock shelf-stable food the kids will actually eat, plus a manual can opener.
- Keep a camping stove with fuel for outdoor or ventilated use only, or no-cook foods.

Health
- Keep at least a 30-day supply of any prescriptions.
- Have a first aid kit, OTC basics like pain relievers in children's doses, and hygiene supplies.

Home and offline life
- Learn how to manually open anything electronic, such as smart locks and the building's garage or entry.
- Keep a paper copy of the building's emergency procedures and super's number.
- Download offline entertainment and learning material for the kids: books, games, art supplies.
- Get to know a few neighbors, since local community becomes your network fast.

Digital hygiene (helps before and after)
- Back up photos and documents to an external drive kept offline.
- Use strong, unique passwords with 2FA, and keep printed recovery codes for key accounts.

The constant updates to my diagnosis and treatment would drive me crazy. And my treatment ending in a blue screen of death is not really appealing.

I'll wait until updated Siri so accessing my diagnosis and treatment won't be allowed while I'm driving or out of my screen time.

Pretty much.

These clips should be used, and no doubt will, as evidence against them in any trial, civil or criminal, resulting from AI abuses. They want government control to give them a monopoly (thinking they will get richer) and avoid any liability. Instead, their liability should be increased. They are deliberately rushing forward on something they admit is dangerous, perhaps catastrophically so.

Feels like the government is hesitant to try and put any guard rails on them because they are worried about falling behind China if they slow them down. I'm not sure that risk reward makes sense though.

There are three main reasons why people are wary, even afraid, of AI.

New technology is disruptive. Certainly AI has caused a lot of changes, and changed lives in ways that include some unpleasant surprises. Three kinds of changes need to be considered.

First is that AI has cost a lot of people their jobs. Many companies selling AI have as a selling point emphasized being able to cut headcount as a benefit. AI sells in part as a deliberate way to fire people. That's a nasty fact.

Second is that AI is invasive. In addition to automated kiosks at stores to automated gatekeeper roles for trying to reach a person in Customer Service, AI watches and listens on phones and televisions and computer cameras, storing your personal information whether or not you know, let alone agreed to.

Third is that AI is already being used to make lethal decisions, by Russia, Ukraine, China and probably also the US. Just let that thought sink in.

You are right. We are not treating it as a tool to be used, we are allowing it to dictate the terms.
