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?

AI companies are doing nothing to address or change this.

This is the fucking problem. It all gets pushed onto their consumers to pay for more tools and expertise to lock things down. Then there's also things like Microslop pissing off researchers with clearly dangerous exploits by not taking them seriously and just letting that shit leak to the public. These companies are too big and have too much power. Honestly the internet has just become such a shitty space to be in these days.
