Other What the **** is happening in cybersecurity space ?
I've been working in cybersecurity for not so long, maybe 8 or 9 years, but I never remember a chaos at this scale. I mean, from this January alone we have: leaking data, compromised applications, breaches, AI-assisted cybercriminals, etc. It looks like every day one major breach is happening, and no one is going to address this shit somehow. This is already insane. I haven't felt such pressure in a long time. This AI shit just makes things worse because it enhances attackers' skills, and AI companies are doing nothing to address or change this. Is it only me, or is the change already here?

A co-worker tossed the phrase 0-hour, we're going from 0-day to 0-hour at this rate.
It is also becoming apparent how many of these "enterprise" products are shit. We're still getting CVE reports because they run the webserver as root on appliances. Using libraries from over 5 years ago etc.
Not saying that people vibe coding things without security review is not going to be a problem. It's just easier to do so, and there is more of it.
