The FBI’s Kinetic Cyber Range in Huntsville, Alabama, resembles a small town with everything a small town has. But despite its size, it plays a massive role in preparing the next generation of cyber investigators for real world situations and the real obstacles they will face in the field.

This is the time of year when a lot of investment firms welcome interns. While our work is geared toward institutional investors, a lot of it can be useful for learning about markets and the investment process. Here are a handful of reports and how they can guide interns:

On May 26, 2026, at 14:00 UTC, the CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations team executed a coordinated takedown of the Glassworm botnet, a global threat targeting software developers through the open-source supply chain. In collaboration with Google and the Shadowserver Foundation, we struck all four of Glassworm's command-and-control (C2) channels simultaneously, severing the operators from their infected machines and their ability to deliver new malicious payloads. This takedown matters beyond the botnet. Glassworm marked a significant shift in the threat landscape that should serve as a wake-up call for every organization that ships or consumes software. Adversaries are no longer just targeting products, they're targeting the developers who build them. crowdstrike.com/en-us/blog/i…

We released first detection rules for Copy Fail / CVE-2026-31431. YARA rules by me: github.com/Neo23x0/signature… It covers public PoC artifacts, including known payloads, exploit code fragments and URLs seen in shared material. More generic rules for customer environments are still in testing. Sigma rules by @_swachchhanda_: github.com/SigmaHQ/sigma/pul… They cover suspicious Copy Fail-related exploitation patterns, including setuid binary execution behavior and NULL argv shell execution. More updates soon.
You probably already heard about Copy Fail - the Linux LPE that affects basically every current distro and shared-kernel/container environment I’ll post a few updates here soon copy.fail/

Spoke with a former colleague of mine who is currently at a hedge fund and involved in new analyst recruiting for his firm He has been interviewing candidates from banking and private equity backgrounds for the past month or so Apparently there has been a massive surge in kids who simply cannot figure out what the business model or revenue recognition of a business is with just the 10K in front of them One of them completely botched the case study, and when asked, simply answered that he uses ChatGPT and Claude at his current job to figure out the details Clearly an early sign of cognitive decline in analyst capacity coming because of AI

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

TeamPCP is back. The xinference PyPI package (680K downloads, 9.3K stars) was hijacked. Import it and your cloud credentials, SSH keys, and .env secrets are instantly harvested and exfiltrated. Versions 2.6.0–2.6.2 are malicious. If you installed them, assume compromise and rotate everything now. Full technical breakdown 👇

For the enterprises using Claude, if you are using it for heavy enterprise type stuff - be extremely careful. It's introducing massive bugs, security issues, and code quality is way worse than Opus 4.5, substantially worse on both 4.6 and 4.7. Our entire development team is shifting off of it. It's unusable at the moment aside from beautiful UI stuff, it's code quality is not something you can trust. Still no word from Claude on why they mangled their models and didn't tell anyone - which is particularly alarming on every front. I would recommend switching teams over to something like Cursor, Perplexity, or AWS Bedrock - as the frontier models continue to innovate (or regress) - having the ability for flexible model selection that doesn't disrupt development workflow will be insanely important for enterprise.

BREAKING: Do not sit on this! If you are using this software you are vulnerable to a zero day. A piece of hacker code that unlocks your computer to viruses and malware. AI has turbocharged hackers. They can now built cyber antiVAX systems faster than vendors can respond!
CRITICAL: if you are running Mosaic 2.4 on a VAX/VMS system, please be aware of this RCE that GPT-5.4 just found and exploited!
