Ghostwriter v7 just dropped! š»
@cmaddalena built the release operators have been asking for, scoped service tokens, opaque API credentials, and non-human automation.
Now you can connect an LLM with read-only tokens without having to hope it behaves. ghst.ly/4o04tm3

If MSSQL isn't in your attack path visibility yet, this is your sign. @Mayyhem just shipped a major MSSQLHound upgrade with Javier Azofra Ovejero (github.com/jazofra): faster, cross-platform, and pathfinding-ready in BloodHound.
Check it out! ghst.ly/4cUKgtJ

A compromised AI tool became an attack path into enterprise identity.
@jaredcatkinson breaks down the lesson from the recent Vercel breach: AI tools are non-human identities w/ delegated access. If compromised, attackers inherit it.

Not all attackers want data or money. Some aim for disruption.
@jaredcatkinson spoke w/ @TechJournalist on why orgs need to model impact, not just attacker type. If your risk model is still centered on theft or #ransomware, itās outdated. ghst.ly/41K0jnS

Identity moves across systems like AD, Okta, Entra, & GitHub. A compromise in one place can quickly turn into control somewhere else.
@jaredcatkinson breaks down how we modeled Okta in BloodHound Enterprise to make those attack paths visible.
