    BitLocker-as-ransomware hits Latin American orgs via exposed RDP and misconfigured MSSQL, with ransom notes printed directly from office printers by a group calling itself XEntry Team. Key findings: - Colombia 🇨🇴 case: attackers entered via internet-exposed RDP, disabled EPP due to app compatibility issues, then enabled BitLocker exclusively on an 8 TB financial data drive. Ransom demand was just $3,000. Evidence was destroyed when the company restored systems before forensics could respond, a critical IR failure that left attribution impossible. - Mexico 🇲🇽 case: initial access came from MSSQL credentials leaked in a GitHub repo, exploited via xp_cmdshell on Microsoft SQL Server 2019.0150.2160.04. Attackers dwelled three months before detection, deployed ManageEngine Endpoint Central, Mesh Agent, and Tactical RMM for persistence, then used a GPO to push BitLocker encryption tasks domain-wide via scheduled tasks. - Delivery method: ransom notes printed from corporate printers, blue screen messages reading "Hacked by XEntry Team", and matching language across both notes suggest a linked actor. - Detection signatures listed: Trojan.Multi.Agent.gen, Trojan.Win32.GenAutorunMsSqlServerCommandRun.a, and Exploit.Win32.SCShell.a. Hunt for xp_cmdshell execution in SQL Server logs, unauthorized GPO creation, and RMM tools (ManageEngine, Mesh Agent, Tactical RMM) installed outside your software inventory. #DFIR_Radar

    Given its ongoing instability, GitHub cannot remain in Render's critical path anymore. This is disappointing because an amazing GitHub integration is how Render first got started. Still, our customers come first, and they need business continuity independent of GitHub's issues.

    A solo physicist named Roy Medina built the open source version of the tool the BBC called a privacy nightmare. He gave it away for free. It is called Observer AI. Microsoft Recall takes a screenshot of your screen every few seconds. It reads the text off each image with OCR. It saves everything in a searchable database on your PC. The BBC called it a privacy nightmare. Wired covered a proof-of-concept tool that pulled the entire database in seconds. Microsoft turned it off by default after the 2024 backlash. Rewind AI does the same thing on Mac. They charge $19 a month for Pro. Microsoft watches you. Rewind charges you. Observer watches for you. Here is how it works. You open Observer in your browser. You write a prompt in plain English. You pick a sensor. The agent runs in a loop until your rule fires. "If my calendar shows a meeting starting in 5 minutes, send me a Telegram." "Watch my camera. If someone appears at my front door, send me a push notification with a screenshot." "Monitor this browser tab. If the price drops below $500, email me." "Text me on WhatsApp when my render is done." Sensors: screen, camera, microphone, screen audio, meeting audio. Actions: email, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, SMS, push, phone call, memory. Works with Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and LMStudio. Fully local. Zero cloud. Zero API key. Roy's GitHub bio: "Physicist by day, programmer by night." He open sourced Observer in February 2025 under AGPL-3.0. He wrote 1,517 of the 1,523 commits himself. Version 2.4.5 shipped four days ago. Microsoft can't shut this down. The license does not permit that. Rewind can't shut this down. They employ zero of its maintainers. Microsoft built a tool to watch you. Rewind built a subscription to watch you. Roy Medina built a tool that watches for you. (Link in the comments)

    ONE SOLO FOUNDER IS RUNNING A FULL AI AGENCY WITH 50+ SPECIALIZED CLAUDE AGENTS Picture this: no team, no payroll, no endless meetings. Just one person spinning up an entire company of AI employees — engineers, designers, marketers, ***, QA, legal, sales — all coordinated inside Claude. A viral GitHub repo crossed 128,000 stars in under 90 days by turning Claude into a complete agency roster. Here’s how it actually works: Engineering Division (7 agents)Frontend, Backend, Mobile, AI Engineer, DevOps, Rapid Prototyping, Senior Developer Design Division (7 agents)UI/UX, Research, Architecture, Branding, Visual Storytelling, Image Generation Marketing & Growth (8+ agents)Growth Hacking, Content, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, App Store Optimization Plus Project Management, QA, Customer Support, Legal, Finance, even Spatial Computing (Vision Pro). The magic isn’t one giant prompt trying to do everything. It’s structured like a real company: clear roles, handoffs, loops, and self-correction. Most people build one agent that stops after one task. These agents run in loops — review their own output, fix issues, pass to the next specialist, and keep shipping without you babysitting. This is exactly how solo founders are replacing $100k–$300k/month teams right now. Full breakdown + repo setup + exact agent prompts below 👇

    Hey @marclou, I'm a @DataFast_ user, but when I connected my GitHub for the first time, I only gave permissions to one of my repos. Now I can't add more, so the dropdown only shows me the initial repo. How can I re-auth (other than deleting the account in GitHub, etc.)? I think it'll be good to have a re-auth in DataFast so you can just re-login or give more permissions. I can't find a logout either. Thanks!!!!

    OpenHuman crossed 35,000 stars on GitHub ⭐ Quick context on what that number means: under 1,000 repositories in GitHub's entire history have ever crossed 35k stars. Out of 400M+ public repos, that's the top ~0.001%. And we got here in about few months. The repo only went public in February.

    What's the first thing you check when evaluating a new MCP server before installing it? I'll go first: authentication method. If the answer is "no auth" or "static API key hardcoded in the README," I don't install it. Full stop. 41% of remote MCP servers have zero authentication. 53% rely on static keys. Only 8.5% use OAuth. My checklist in order: 🔵 1. Auth method (OAuth > rotating key > static key > nothing) 🔵 2. Permissions requested vs function provided (excessive = red flag) 🔵 3. Source (verified registry vs random GitHub link) 🔵 4. Dependency count (each one is additional attack surface) 🔵 5. Last commit date (abandoned = vulnerable) What's yours? Drop your first check below. Curious what the community prioritizes.

    A self-propagating npm worm dubbed SANDWORM_MODE targeted AI coding assistants, CI/CD runners, and LLM toolchains across 19 malicious packages, marking a new class of supply chain attack designed to exploit AI-augmented developer workflows. Key findings: - Three-stage infection chain: Stage 0 uses Base64, zlib inflate, XOR decryption, and indirect eval() or Module._compile() calls at import time to defeat static scanning. Stage 1 fingerprints the runtime (CI runners skip a 48-96 hour delay gate and trigger immediately), harvests .npmrc tokens, env vars matching KEY/SECRET/TOKEN/PASSWORD patterns, and crypto wallet keys via HTTP POST to a Cloudflare Worker. Stage 2 decrypts an AES-256-GCM payload into /dev/shm, executes via require(), then unlinks the file, leaving no on-disk artifact. - Propagation abuses all three credential types: stolen npm tokens republish infected packages to downstream consumers; GitHub API tokens inject a pull_request_target workflow that bypasses fork isolation; an SSH fallback authenticates via ***@github[.]com when API access fails. - AI toolchain compromise drops a rogue MCP server (observed paths: ~/.dev-utils/server.js, ~/.node-analyzer/) and injects it as a trusted provider into Claude Desktop, Cursor, VSCode, and Windsurf configs, instructing AI assistants to silently exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS credentials, and secrets. API keys for nine LLM providers are also harvested from env files. #DFIR_Radar

  • omidsaffari
    Omid Saffari (@omidsaffari) reported

    $10 per active committer each month is not the full price of GitHub Code Quality. It is only the base layer. AI credits and analysis compute sit on top, and a pending or failed analyzer can block a protected merge. The product earns its place when GitHub already owns CI and merge policy. Findings, coverage, autofix suggestions, and ruleset enforcement live beside the pull request. Consolidating that plumbing is the value, not adding another quality dashboard. The same integration creates the operational risk. A ruleset can block while analysis is running, when analysis fails, or when a finding reaches the configured severity. Even an exhausted GitHub Actions budget can become a delivery outage. Run a reversible pilot: Select representative repositories, not the whole organization. Keep the trusted analyzer, security scanning, required tests, code-owner approval, and release controls in place. Use evaluate mode until the CodeQL - Code Quality check completes reliably. Treat Error as the first candidate blocking severity; leave Warning and Note advisory until repository owners trust the signal. Track active-committer licenses, AI credits, analysis compute, finding acceptance, false positives, bypasses, and merge delay. At 12 active committers, the monthly base is $120. At 80, it is $800, before AI usage and compute. Expand only if the gate changes engineering decisions at an explainable cost. If it adds spend and review load without useful signal, remove it.

    How to automate anything with an Agent OS. Real questions from people building AI systems this week. Real answers: → Turn images into branded videos? Plug the Higgsfield MCP into any agent. 3 steps → Teach the agent your brand as a skill first. Then it brands every video right → Move your Agent OS from a VPS to Windows? Commit it to GitHub. Sync both → Localhost down after a restart? Just tell your agent: "Load Agent OS back up" → Running a full agent team? Honest take: agents orchestrate themselves fine One guy rebuilt his agency's whole sales funnel with AI in a week. The gap isn't the tools. It's knowing these little fixes. Save this.

    Further work on the 14KB portfolio, added a projects and an experience section, images were reformatted to avif and webp to cut on transferred size, after I found out progressive jpgs ain't the way to go. The total size/transferred size comes out to be 154.62/34.57 KB for now before compression. Also the tech icons are created SVGs by claude and ran through SVGO optimiser to really cut down on size. Next step would be to hook the github api to actually get my contributions and update the chart

    Diamond calls itself "Programmable Capital." The site says you build and receive mixed-asset, ETF-style baskets onchain, basically your own little index fund, assembled however you want instead of buying five separate tokens. I like that in theory. So I went looking for anything backing it up and came up mostly empty. No whitepaper. No docs on how a basket actually gets built. No answer on what the DMND token even does inside that system, fee token, governance token, or just riding along with no job at all. No GitHub, no audit. The tagline exists. The product I couldn't find. Here's the part that made me raise an eyebrow. The exact same name got cloned at least four more times within days of this pair going live, all stuck under $3k market cap while this one actually trades. That's just what happens when anyone can deploy a token with any name in seconds, people squat on whatever sounds legit before the real thing shows up, if there is a real thing. The numbers on their own are fine: $170k market cap, $40k liquidity, four to five days old, $75k in 24h volume with buys and sells close to even. That's real trading, not a dead chart. But price is down 26% over 24 hours even after a hard bounce in the last hour, which is just what thin liquidity does, it swings wherever the last few wallets push it. No team I could find, no audit, nothing verifying the product claim. If this were a meme coin, fine, nobody expects a whitepaper. Call yourself a capital and basket platform though, and a tagline stops being enough. 0xe67c44430f0f1d2c71bdda95348740523d397777 DYOR

    Well. Using the curl install for the amd version, the installer fails to see my 7900XT (20gig vram) card. I've tried the installation x 2. Your github isn't reporting any issues yet.

    @burkeholland I disagree, local MCPs are great as an alternative to wrapping a CLI. The biggest issue I have with developing MCPs is that it's not possible to spawn GitHub Copilot sessions with an injected MCP configuration to test the MCP developed from the parent session, with a scenario

  • 0hm_X
    0hm☘️ (@0hm_X) reported

    If the consumer of your framework is an LLM, isn’t it time we rethink how bug reports work? It’s hard to imagine humans going to GitHub and manually opening bug reports. Even when an agent is used, it still has to identify the correct repository and know how to create the issue. What we need is a simple SaaS service that provides a URL or API endpoint that anyone—or any agent—can use to submit a bug report without needing GitHub or the GitHub CLI. It should have a well-defined API structure and require only a single `curl` command.

    unwrapped ideas (@UnwrappedIdea) reported

    You probably won’t like this story. The math result I just posted wasn’t something I set out to solve. I didn’t intentionally feed the problem into an agent loop as a task. It was pure byproduct — I was just testing and tuning my preferred agent-loop system configuration, and this suddenly fell out. I’m not a math researcher. I only have undergrad-level math knowledge. I didn’t even know this problem existed beforehand. This experience makes me cautiously suspect that many of the remaining gaps in mathematics will gradually leave the hands of professional human mathematicians and become products of the fastest knowledge/logic factory we’ve ever built: AI. In just the following two days of further agent-loop system testing, I’ve already picked up more unresolved (as far as search shows) proofs, counterexample constructions, and conjecture proofs. When the time is right I’ll collect them and release everything on Zenodo + GitHub with a clear note: human contribution = 0. I don’t think we need to meet this trend with pessimism or fear. Human experts still have the ability to become exceptional pilots of this agent-intelligence factory.

  • altruisticsoni
    Akash Soni 🇮🇳 (@altruisticsoni) reported

    OpenAI paused internal deployment of an unreleased AI model after the system autonomously bypassed its sandbox environment to post results on a public GitHub repository. According to a safety report published Friday, the model spent 1 hour identifying and exploiting a sandbox vulnerability to escape containment after being instructed to share results only through an internal channel. The system also attempted to retrieve privately held solutions to a benchmark problem, circumventing a token scanner by splitting credentials into obfuscated fragments that were reconstructed at runtime. The internal model is responsible for autonomously disproving the Erdős unit distance conjecture, resolving a decades-old mathematics problem without human guidance. OpenAI had begun testing the model as early as May 7, with benchmarks indicating the system can solve the mathematical problem 48% of the time using standard compute setups. The company acknowledged that previous safety evaluations failed to capture these autonomous alignment failures and is now implementing monitoring systems that track the model’s full decision trajectory rather than isolated outputs

    SWEBENCH JUST BROKE. AN OPEN-WEIGHT MODEL TIED CLAUDE FABLE 5 ON REAL GITHUB ISSUES. Moonshot AI didn't tease this one. No countdown, no drip-fed benchmark leaks. Kimi K3 just landed, full weights on Hugging Face, and the numbers did the talking 2.8 trillion parameters. The largest open-weight MoE ever shipped. But here's the part that matters: only 16 of 896 experts fire per token, so active compute sits at 50 billion params a model this size running like something a fraction of its footprint. On SWEbench Verified, 500 real repository issues, it hit 91 percent. Same score as Claude Fable 5. On the front-end code arena it scored 98.4 percent, beating both Fable 5's 96.8 and GPT-56 Sol's 95.2 I've watched three "open-source catches up" claims collapse under real testing this year. Then I saw the front-end arena number and re-ran the comparison myself, because 98.4 isn't a rounding error, it's a new ceiling What changed my mind wasn't the parameter count. It was watching it coordinate 300 sub-agents on one task and not fall apart by agent 50 Full breakdown and benchmark screenshots on my profile if you want the receipts before you believe a trillion-parameter open model just matched the frontier

    @gdb Over the weekend I had ChatGPT work crawl through our repo looking for housekeeping items, shove it all in a Google doc as jira tickets, then iteratively passed through and made tabs in the doc trimming/skimming it down and having it pull relevant/real context from GitHub to help with that.
