And by the way regarding the RAF incident if you cast your mind's back to when there was the alleged drone flying over Gatwick airport - the same people popped up claiming to have privileged information that they were willing to post on their blog and link to from LinkedIn!

I do find it quite amusing that there are exintelligence types on LinkedIn posting about the RAF incident seeming to indicate that they have some kind of insider knowledge. Top tip, if they genuinely did have insider knowledge they probably wouldn't be posting it on LinkedIn.

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

Thanks to all who came to see @quentyn.bsky.social and I at #ice2026 to discuss attacking AI agents. Here's the piece I did for @computerweekly.bsky.social on the Hugging Face incident the other month. share.google/OxIlYOHT7rL8...

Did an AI agent really break free and attack another company? | Computer Weekly
The reality of the AI-orchestrated cyber attack on Hugging Face is rather more complicated, and much more worrying, than it might appear at face value.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

Are we about to see a flood of hack reports from various different AI companies as they all suddenly come clean simultaneously about various systems that they have hacked? I rather suspect we are and I also suspect that there will be no legal consequences at all for anybody
