The past few months have been incredible in the malware analysis space. AI has enabled a lot of folks to rapidly catch up in this space to where top researchers were about 5 years ago. The pace has wildly increased, but what I'm seeing set the leaders in this space is depth.

It did not. The reporter took the date on my original email about the planned malware release and assumed that the graphic was begun at the same time. I sketched out a rough version of that with the PAO in like 15 minutes of brainstorming on a whiteboard. She then sent it to the graphic contractor.
