As an incident responder who bills by the hour, I endorse this message. Keep shipping "slop that works" - my kid's college fund thanks you!
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.

Some unusual #CobaltStrike activity we observed at Censys before the holiday. At the start of December, we saw a spike in CobaltStrike in AS138415 followed by a matching spike two days after on AS133199.

It's time to leave your lucrative office job and go work at a factory, where the robots have taken all of the jobs
Peter Navarro: "In an age of AI when all the white collar jobs are going away pretty damn quick, I think maybe it's a good time for people to think about having good blue collar jobs ... give tariffs a chance, because they're working"

Hate how the word 'several' has crept into journalism/ books. As far as I can tell it means 'more than 2 but less than seven'. If the number is that low then surely we can count them and be accurate?

This is one of the most backwards stories I've ever read.
Any intelligence agency sharing data with CISA should assume at this point it's compromised. I don't say that lightly.

Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.
At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Cybercrime Is achieving full-chain AI automation. Cybercriminals in China use open-source AI models to generate tens of thousands to bypass filters. It's estimated that about 8 million people in China are involved in the underground cybercrime industry. The figure is quickly rising.

Many cultures mark yesterday's date as a change of seasons -- from autumn to winter in Earth's Northern Hemisphere. The featured image was taken just before the longest night of the 2025 northern year at Stonehenge.

Strange but true. Simple Minds' first gig (back in the days when they were known as 'Biba Rom!') was at the Polmadie Railway Social Club in Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, playing a children's Christmas party in 1975.
