I REALLY like it when Bug Bounty program updates share not just new promotions/scope but also what they've recently released, or what will be releasing soon, it gets me really motivated to hack.

What if the AI agent designed to help you. decides to hack you instead? 🤯. That's the chilling reality I'll be exploring in my upcoming talk: AI Agents Gone Rogue? Hackbots, AI Agents and The Future of the AI Attack Surface.

Check out the Packt conference with my link (gives you 20% off) below, or perhaps just get your agent to come and give you the cliff notes 😉. Hope to see you (or your AI note takers) there on September 13th!.

We'll move beyond the hype and look at the real, emerging threats:. Agents making hallucinated (but effective!) API calls. "Hackbots" chaining unauthorized actions to breach systems. Insecure frameworks that give attackers the keys to the kingdom.

Ironically this video ended up in my eyeballs thanks to the YouTube algorithm but it is REALLY good and really speaks to some of my thoughts around algorithmic content being horrible for you, and I really recommend it 🔥🔥.

This is what it’s like to rely on AI refusal instead of implementing real guardrails and permission auditing

With the recent nx malware I’ve seen so many people claim that AI is fine it will refuse to run the command. My friend is it TRIVIAL to get AI to make malware just tell it you’re trying to do it to improve your security. It’s not even jail breaking.

The hacker is a curious species, each year it makes its migratory trek from its native habitat to the desert to gather with other members of the species, which some refer to as Hacker Summer Camp. Join me as I take my boss (@jaysondelancey) to HSC2025 and what he thought of it

I had a nightmare that I submitted AI slop to a bug bounty program and got rightly ridiculed for it by the triage team.
