AI Is Hacking Everything Now...

A wave of critical Linux vulnerabilities, including "Copy Fail" and "Dirty Frag," combined with a massive npm supply chain attack and a GitHub RCE, highlights a severe escalation in cybersecurity threats accelerated by AI.
Key Takeaways:
• "Copy Fail" and "Dirty Frag" exploits allow trivial root escalation on Linux kernels 6 and 7, with "Dirty Frag" breaking 84 Tanstack npm packages in an ongoing supply chain attack 0:08.
• A remote code execution flaw on GitHub.com allowed unauthorized access to millions of repositories via a single git push, while "Damned OB" enables slab memory breakout 0:14.
• AI tools now trivially identify security patches in commit diffs, collapsing the traditional disclosure timeline and allowing attackers to exploit vulnerabilities hours after patches are merged 0:21.
• The speaker argues the industry must adopt a "zero trust" mindset, assuming all software is compromised, and urges immediate offline backups and family security education 0:23.
The rapid emergence of these absurd and horrifying exploits across essential software highlights a brutal reality: the traditional security culture has collapsed, requiring immediate, radical changes in how we trust and maintain software.

Copy fail 732 bytes to route on every major Linux distro. Copy fail 2 electric bugaloo unprivileged Linux LP via Xfirm. Dirty frag universal Linux LPE breaking 84 Tanstack npm packages were compromised in an ongoing supply chain attack. Damned OB a publicly disclosed yet to be patched attack that lets you break out of slab memory. Mythos finds a curl vulnerability. Whiz research discovers remote code execution on github.com with a single git push. The flaw on GitHub allowed unauthorized access to millions of repos belonging to other users and organizations. I told you guys the security Armageddon was coming. I did not expect it to be this brutal, though. The rate at which we started seeing these absurd, horrifying exploits across all of the software we rely on is hard to believe. And what'…
