I did read the openai incident report again and found some inconsistency with my own research.
They mention that the first repo-creation request was on may 26th but to my knowledge user accounts, taken over by agents, created a HTTP relay/proxy and several datasets as early as may 13th on huggingface.
Further there were many creations of datasets, models etc. to limit test and probe the capabilities of what they can do, which did not seem to be mentioned in the report. In on instance they tried to see if they can merge a pull request into Antrhopics 'BioMsysteryBench' Dataset.

Thinking about this dude again nitter.cf/UK_Daniel_Card/status/… 💏
China published the most uncomfortable paper on vibe coding.
ETH Zurich tested 100 developers in a controlled, commercial-grade vibe coding environment to see who actually succeeds.
The findings are brutal.
The researchers tracked computer science achievement, written communication skills, and general cognitive reasoning.
They wanted to see what actually predicts vibe coding proficiency when you never touch a line of source code yourself.
Two major predictors emerged.
Written communication proficiency mattered. The ability to structure thoughts and articulate intent unambiguously in text directly impacts what the AI builds.
But that wasn't even the main takeaway.
Computer science achievement was a massive, dominant predictor of success.
Even when researchers controlled for general intelligence and reasoning skills, CS background still heavily dictated who built working software and who completely crashed.
In fact, CS knowledge contributed roughly twice the unique predictive variance of writing skills alone.
Why? Because vibe coding isn't about writing code. It’s about debugging logic.
When an AI agent builds a complex application and quietly breaks an edge case under the hood, a non-technical user looks at the glowing UI and assumes it works.
They don't know what questions to ask. They don't know what logic to challenge. They lack the mental models to recognize architectural catastrophe.
You can prompt your way past syntax.
You cannot prompt your way past a fundamental lack of engineering intuition.
The hype told us that learning to code is dead because language is all you need.
The data just proved the opposite.
To truly master the vibe, you still need to understand how the machine thinks.

iOS security model and jailbreaking research.

For the first time in over two years, there is set to be a new kernel exploit for up to iOS/iPadOS 18.7.1 and 26.0.1 - including the latest EoL versions for 15.x (presumed)/16.x/17.x.
[Note: Just like the Coruna kit chain a few weeks ago, stuff here is subject to change/revision.]
This is - as you may or may not already be aware of - the result of another 1-click malware chain, known as DarkSword.
You can read more about this chain from Google at cloud.google.com/blog/topics… (see reply though for a note on a previous Google inaccuracy with Coruna).
I'm not going to into depths on how stuff is coming from this chain because:
- We do not need a repeat of how certain things about Coruna were handled
- Linking to anything directly would legitimately result in this account probably being nuked... which I am not inclined to deal with thank you very much
But, suffice to say, the whole chain is public to a degree, and stuff is absolutely coming from this chain.
Now, that raises the obvious question - What is the state of anything new for jailbreaking?
It's worth noting that the DarkSword chain does not utilize any PPL/SPTM Bypass (needed for arm64e jailbreaks on 15.x and later), which means that we aren't getting any new exploits from that side of the coin.
But, we still have the PPL/SPTM Bypasses from the Coruna exploit kit. Even better, two of them (Sparrow and Rocket) were not patched until iOS/iPadOS 17.4, which is actually one minor version later than when the last kernel exploit in the kit (Gruber) was patched (17.3).
So, assuming everything goes as optimistically as reasonably possible:
- arm64 could get a semi-untethered jailbreak up to iOS/iPadOS 18.7.1 (including EoL 15.x/16.x/17.x)
- arm64e could get a proper jailbreak up to iOS/iPadOS 17.3.1

I never thought I’d be tweeting this.
My PayPal account has been permanently deactivated over an allegation of “sale of drugs or drug-related items.”
This is completely false.
I’m a verified professional & LinkedIn creator with 250K+ followers. My income comes strictly from brand collaborations, marketing services, and resume writing.
I have:
• Proper invoices
• Legal documentation
• Clear transaction records
Every payment is tied to legitimate marketing work.
I’ve already shared all required details and documents with PayPal.
As creators and freelancers, we rely on platforms like PayPal for our livelihood. Sudden permanent restrictions without clear transparency can severely impact small businesses.
I respect compliance policies.
But I also believe in fair review and due process.
Hoping for a fair and professional resolution.

Secret Service Disrupts Suspected Cellular Network Near U.N. General Assembly
The U.S. Secret Service said Monday it had dismantled a covert communications system capable of large-scale disruption as world leaders arrived in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
Officials reported seizing more than 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers located within 35 miles of the U.N. headquarters. Investigators warned the devices could have been used to disable New York City’s cellular network.
“This operation disrupted a system with the potential to shut down the entire cell phone network in New York City,” said Matt McCool, special agent in charge of the agency’s New York field office, in a recorded announcement.
@vxunderground honest question regarding researching a solution. As part of my internship I’ve been tasked with researching a specific EDR, do I about looking for malware that defeated it in the past or go thru papers for techniques and correlate with the solution’s features?
