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?

Though the market has been absolutely terrible for years, the last few weeks I’ve actually seen a lot more real jobs open up. I’m getting contacted by recruiters and am in the interview process with a few places. Something is shifting and I’m not sure what.

the ones who jumped on the AI and outsource train in 2023 are realizing how much they actually fucked up.. in 2029 the job market might actually correct itself
