A researcher switched off a BYD Shark 6’s headlights while a journalist drove it at night. The same investigation demonstrated remote location tracking and access to the cabin microphone. Those are substantial capabilities to lose control of in something you use to get your family home.The demonstration, covered by...
The vibeA little worn out, but glad to be getting settled.I am ready for the part where living in the new house means enjoying it without constantly thinking about what still needs to come out of a box. We are getting there, slowly but surely. Having some of the familiar comforts back helps, even if my stomach...
OverviewThe common thread this week is control-plane risk. Cisco confirmed active attacks against email-security and network-access appliances, CISA flagged exploitation of ScreenConnect and GitLab, ransomware crews moved onto a vCenter flaw, and attackers used Artifactory and Conductor weaknesses to turn trusted...
The alert looked ordinary for about five seconds.An endpoint protection product had detected and quarantined an executable named WindowsUpdate.exe. The name was suspicious but not especially creative. The path was what changed the investigation:C:\Users\<user>\Documents\ScreenConnect\Temp\WindowsUpdate.exeThis...
An analyst finds a serious problem. They can explain what happened, how it happened, and why the activity is technically dangerous.Then someone asks whether the affected system can be shut down.Does it support a revenue-generating service? Who owns it? Which customers will lose access? Does the incident need to...

I have built plenty of tools and side...
OverviewThis week did not leave much room for leisurely patch testing. Attackers are already chaining MikroTik RouterOS flaws to take over internet-exposed routers, Microsoft fixed two Windows privilege-escalation bugs under active exploitation, Google shipped another Chrome zero-day update, and Cisco confirmed that...
N-able has released four N-central hotfixes in five weeks.The latest, N-central 2026.3 Hotfix 4, fixes CVE-2026-86218: a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability rated 10.0 under CVSS 4.0. N-able says every version before build 2026.3.1.14 is affected. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited...
I have spent the past few days using OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra across the kind of work I normally do: research, code, troubleshooting, and security analysis. What stands out is not one clever answer, but how long Astra can stay with a problem.It can inspect the work in front of it, use tools, test an idea, notice that...
The past two weeks got away from me. We found a new house, moved almost immediately, and have been trying to get settled ever since, so I decided to combine Weeks 35 and 36 into one post.The vibeWhiplashed, exhausted, and relieved.Everything happened much faster than I expected, and moving is never fun, but we are...
