I will never pass of closet sales advertisements as some sort of organic content I just happen to find. I lose trust for any CISO/CIO who does that.

Most ransomware reports tell you what could happen. This one shows what actually did — straight from Halcyon’s Ransomware Operations Center (ROC).
Introducing our new monthly ROC STAR Report, built from real attacks stopped in live environments.
What we’re seeing:
• Attackers scaling with legit tools (RMM, remote access)
• Most threats stopped before foothold
• #EDR failing silently — no alerts, no signal
No theory. Just real-world #ransomware.

Got banned from @claudeai tonight for 'who knows why?' I had a personal API account with $5 on it and never got around to using it. I can't even log in to to see what happened, if anything. Sure I can appeal it.

All these arm-chair quarterbacks discussing 'should haves" for #stryker - clear to me that none have actually managed an M365 tenant.

I cannot get @claudeai to #SSO to work with our "Team" license. The "test" from workos.com works, but then it never enables and activates our domain in the identity portion of the claude app. Any ideas? workos.com shows timeouts in their screen

Atlassian just confirmed 1,600 layoffs with 900 coming from engineering
But I'm hearing the real story from inside
Sources say they've been running "knowledge extraction sprints" for 6 months - recording every senior engineer's screen, logging their prompts, documenting their debugging workflows
One architect told me they made him walk through his entire microservices decision tree while they filmed it. Called it "knowledge transfer for the transition team"
The transition team? 47 contractors in Bangalore with access to his recorded sessions and a Claude Enterprise subscription
Same architect just found out his replacement starts Monday. Guy makes $28k annually and ships code 40% faster using the exact prompt libraries they extracted
They're not just cutting headcount - they're systematizing 15 years of engineering expertise into training data
The "strategic AI focus" isn't about building AI products
It's about replacing their entire engineering culture with agents trained on their senior engineers' knowledge
Word is the CTO replacement already has the playbook: extract, document, offshore, automate
If you're still there and they ask you to "document your processes for the team" - RUN
The knowledge extraction is complete

Pentagon Official Explains Anthropic’s Supply Chain Risk Designation
Friedberg:
“ Why designate them as a supply chain risk? Why not just abandon them, move on, use the other vendors? Why take this kind of punitive action?”
Under Secretary of War Emil Michael:
“I don't view it as punitive, and I'll tell you why.”
“If their model has this policy bias, let's call it, based on their constitution, their culture, their people, and so on, I don't want Lockheed Martin using their model to design weapons for me. I don't want the people who are designing the things that go into the componentry to come to me, because if you believe in the risk of poisoning…”
Chamath:
“You’re compounding that risk.”
Emil:
“Yes, it can enter into any part of the defense enterprise, but it's just the defense enterprise.”
“So if Boeing wants to use Anthropic to build commercial jets, have at it.”
“If Boeing wants to use it to build fighter jets, I can't have that because I don't trust what the outputs may be, because they're so wedded to their own policy preferences.”

#Cybersecurity isn’t a tech problem anymore. It’s a board-level business decision.
#AI-accelerated ransomware. Supply chain compromise. Insider risk.
Prevention alone won’t hold.
The organizations that endure are the ones that build resilience into their operating model. Learn more. bit.ly/4cXokP1

More to the story
@tcrawford @CIOonline
As usual, more lies from @DarioAmodei. @AnthropicAI
wanted language that would prevent all @DeptofWar
employees from doing a LinkedIn search! Then, they wanted to stop DoW from using any *PUBLIC* database that would enable us to, eg., recruit military services members or hire new employees. When I called to discuss cutting off @DeptofWar from using publicly available information would hurt our military readiness, @DarioAmodei didn't have the courage to answer. Then put out another lie that no one from @DeptofWar
reached out in Anthropic's post a few hours later. He wants to play God and make new 'law' and...really stupid laws at that. We agreed, IN WRITING, to act according to the "National Security Act of 1947 and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and ALL OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS." They wanted the word "pursuant" versus "consistent with" and wanted to delete ALL APPLICABLE LAWS which was less protective of Americans (can't make this up!) We never asked for guardrails to be taken out (lie!). We agreed to human oversight of all weapons systems by saying "The Department of War will use the AI system for all lawful use cases, in accordance, with applicable U.S. law and Department of War directives, including those governing kinetic operations and DoD Directive 30000.09...The Department AFFRIMS that it will ensure appropriate human oversight is in place and that it will monitor and retain the ability to override or disable the AI system...as appropriate." He didn't like "as appropriate." He would prefer "inappropriate"? I even agreed to take that out. He knows it, his investors, customers and employees should know about his lies. Risking the safety and security of our country and our troops are a marketing vehicle for him. Make @DarioAmodei testify UNDER OATH on why he is lying and trying to bring shame on our great military! He would rather violate the chain of command and substitute his own policies (or those of the Anthropic Constitution and the Anthropic Soul) to recruit researchers and get some downloads all while we are in the midst of a battle.
