Anthropic’s Mythos has flagged bugs faster than Microsoft can fix them. Documents reviewed by ProPublica reveal the tech giant's “mad dash” behind the scenes to patch holes before hackers can find and exploit them.
All the shortcut technical debt is coming due, especially now that there’s a tool able to undertake mass analysis with fairly general rules.
It’s getting bad out there, and it’s not visible on the surface but a tsunami of bug reports and patches has been sweeping the internet and drowning anything unable to swim.
For anything that sinks underwater, metaphorically, they’re getting grabbed by automated sharks that are now actively on the attack. If you’re not rapidly fixing everything and monitoring everything closely you’re probably being eaten alive without knowing.

My approach: I don’t expose anything (that can’t handle it) to the internet. So so many things are “out there” that don’t need to be, shouldn’t be…
