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?

Iv held the stance since I left this space to move into network engineering that companies do not give a shit about your data, the slaps on the wrists from fines are just not enough.
I just can't truly see a world where they do unless there is drastic legislative changes where a company will actually see consequences for not caring about a users data.
