US refineries have run above 95% of capacity since June.
Deferred maintenance is likely gonna bite them pretty hard at some point.
And, while the Atlantic hurricane season has been a bust so far, we're entering what wld normally be peak, and refinery capacity is heavily concentrated on the Gulf Coast.
Where is "the media" on this?
OH NO CHINA-BASED HACKER EMPLOYS DEEPSEEK IN AUTONOMOUS THREAT CAMPAIGN
Except:
"Researchers said the hacker also attempted to test Western AI tools, BUT
ultimately was forced to revert to manual operations to succeed
"
We gotta stop the hype folks.
Seeing alot of performative commentary by AI detractors on sheer jankiness and the lack of quality of Meta's agent harness.
Guess none of them have seen what every major "next generation" network security vendor's admin http server code looks like and what every XDR company's endpoint agent code looks like.
The fact that a whole bunch of Really Important™ CISOs did not advocate for a Congressional hearing to haul OpenAI execs and scientists to Capitol Hill to explain themselves and then also call for one or more of those OpenAI humans responsible to be arrested and put on trial says a whole lot about the state of ethics and morality and just plain common sense in cybersecurity defenderville.

A whole bunch of the orgs associated with the "AI" cabal are rm -rfing every use of the term "datacenter" and replacing it with "AI Factory".
I fear the American ppl will fall for this ruse, losing the battle against datacenter proliferation.
I am trying to figure out how this story — https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/09/07/court-constitution-right-clean-water/91649488007/ — is not gaining more attention.
In the majority decision, Judge Kurt Engelhardt wrote that while the deprivation of clean water was “grievous,” it did “not infringe upon any deeply rooted constitutional right.”
He also said there was no constitutional right to “truthful information from officials during a public health crisis.”
We are so f'd, lads.
Took a bit but threw together a small (their API is tiny) Go wrapper for the TypeSafe System One API — https://rud.is/git/typesafe-sdk-go.git/about/
also took the opportunity to self-host my own go projects now. i.e. import "go.rud.is/typesafe-sdk-go"
No way I'm usingJS or icky Python for Jev projects.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange this is a big reason to be sus of the "can't trust supply chain anymore just let claude build it" that all the AI companies and "thought leaders" are pimping now.
Speaking of AI-generated BS, it appears the Clankers somewhat know how to make animated pew pew maps .
Not linking to the site b/c it's a vibe-coded hot mess.
Also, never tell me who made the training data that fuels these dashboard abominations b/c it won't end well for those responsible.
it's odd living in a time where one has to use the term "non-violating eyewear". o_o
Pls tell me nobody in my timeline actually believes all the "we don't log anything" BS from VPNs.

The weekly bulletproof hosting report is out covering week-ending 2026-08-28 using intel from @honeylabs@mastodon.social / @HoneyLabs@infosec.exchange, @censys@infosec.exchange, a new configuration of the tiny fleet @ntkramer@infosec.exchange & I run.
Full report: https://ai.rud.is/posts/2026-08-31-weekly-bulletproof-report
Usual suspects dominated volume: KAOPU-HK (AS138915) top talkers at 1.38M sessions — that NTP/SSDP/LLMNR port mix is a classic amplification reflector farm — and PFCLOUD (AS51396) at 873K, mostly SSH and web ports. (1/4)
I did a quick check on my "who is looking for open directories" side project and OpenAI has joined Anthropic in scarfing up every single file from the project.
Unlike Anthropic, they at least used their user-agent (and the source IPs were in the OpenAI ranges).

The firm that provided the story to BC is a new startup aiming to help "Manage and Secure Data Centers".
They exploited CVE-2013-4786
This is advertising a new startup by flogging a report by extremely lazy "researchers" (did they even do *any* "is this a honeypot" tests?)
Perhaps don't let your C-suite give Lava any business?

anyone have ~80 spare RTX 5090s lying around to run Kimi K3? https://xcancel.com/totheagi/status/2081855316443205717
Jeepers! There sure were alot of shops waiting for the Kimi K3 drop on HF this week. .The number of unique "we got it running on 'X' hardware" posts is about 10x (by the day after release) that of other open weights models in 2026.
Rly wld not want to be a domestic closed-weights foundation model provider rn or an org who sketch-financed data center buildouts.
"Drawing on new evidence, the report identifies a growing threat: ‘Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) poisoning’ – the deliberate manipulation of online information so that AI models amplify false or misleading narratives. Through a case study of Russian foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), the research demonstrates how these techniques are already influencing the outputs of leading AI services."

The FCC just declared war on solar projects in America (direct PDF) https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-26-786A1.pdf
Despite testing by other agencies revealing no evidence of the claim, the FCC asserts their fear of remote connectivity with supply chain dependency creates a kill-switch vector for grid-connected resources.
"Hey! OpenAI hacked us too! And FIRST!!!!!" is such an odd flex by jfrog.
I am also skeptical.

At 06:05 UTC on Jul-27, DDoS mitigation service Voxility (AS3223) leaked over 30k BGP prefixes to its transit provider Lumen (AS3356) for up to 40 minutes causing traffic to affected prefixes to be disrupted or misdirected.
Same thing happened last year:

Bonus Drop #128 (2026-08-23): It’s Always DNS
The weekend Bonus Drop discusses several advanced DNS resources, focusing on ptrclassify, which categorizes IP addresses efficiently using structured tagging for traffic analysis. It introduces the new HTTPS DNS record type that enhances HTTP/3 connectivity and touches on dnstt, a tool for DNS tunneling.

I think the members of the GOP shld all just start wearing the armbands, fly their swastikas, and stop pretending they aren't Nazis.

Pretty much all the harnesses are trash software.
But, fwiw, most software isn't great software, too.

@hrbrmstr@mastodon.social No we have, but there's no reason to let this garbage off the hook either. Especially when, in Meta's case, it's materially worse than other offerings in terms of basic protections against prompt injection. That's really concerning for a user-facing application in particular.

@richardstocks@infosec.exchange wow/ugh. rly hope the founders and the incompetent CEO they hired (who is no longer CEO) are proud of their accomplishments.
I'd bet some decent coin there is no "AI" being used in each of those "drumbeat spikes" of bots slinging IoT creds at anything they can find on the internet.
Attackers have plenty of automation and capabilities w/o "AI".
