Google: 97 #zeroday #exploits in #2024, over 50% in #spyware attacks
They noted that cyber-espionage threat actors—including government-backed groups and commercial #surveillance vendors' customers—were responsible for more than half of attributable #0day attacks in 2024.
End-user platforms and products (e.g., web browsers, mobile devices, and desktop operating systems) made up 56% of the tracked #zerodays.

Breaking news. Spain, Portugal and parts of France hit by massive power outage

""Such a widespread grid failure is extremely unusual and could be caused by a number of things: there could be a physical fault in the grid which brings down power, a coordinated cyber attack could be behind it, or a dramatic imbalance between demand and supply has tipped the grid system over the edge," Taco Engelaar, managing director at energy infrastructure experts Neara told Euronews."

Huge power cut causes chaos in Spain and Portugal as trains, traffic lights, and payments hit

SOM (Robert DeNiro, playing himself) has two psychotic episodes with the Sex Pistols song "Who Killed Bambi". That might be the only good thing in the entire episode.

The world is a dumber and worse place with this show in it. I can't imagine watching episodes 2-6.

If you're in TEH CYBERS, you must carry on for me. You must watch episode 2, and tag me. Then the next victim. Together, we can make it thru and understand the incomprehensible, the King in Yellow of our time.

Beltway goon tells SOM we're 24 days of no iPhones from warlords, cannibalism, heads on pikes.

Old Mossad agent tells SOM that the GRU is paying a sleeper agent to mine bitcoin in the Bronx.

New York City's power system cannot support this kind of shit! You say he's in Connecticut or Utah, with power to spare, sure.

I feel like I'm having a stroke. This is probably a really smart show for normal IQ* Humans.

President Black Woman: Usually a Zero Day exists on a single OS, your iPhone (NAMEDROP!) say. This thing exploited unknown vulnerabilities across dozens of systems!
Senile Old Man: <does not respond uh what I swipe and now it all fucked up>

PBW: … Suspension of Habeas Corpus.
SOM: Jesus we didn't even do that after 9-11.
PBW: This is different. We knew who did it then.

NO WE FUCKING DIDN'T! WE FUCKING INVADED IRAQ NOT SAUDI, YOU DUMB MOTHERLESS HUMPS!

I put on Zero Day, and oh no it's a Y2K movie for 2025. l33t h4xx0rz crash trains (which still exist?), infect phones, but TV still works just fine. They somehow get video from peoples' phones during accidents, during which the phones are dead‽

OLD MAN ex-President is the only one who can cope! Wolf Blitzer plays himself, an actor faking being a news anchor like always.

This sets a new low bar for stupid cyber shit.

Cyberattacks by AI agents are coming

Agents could make it easier and cheaper for criminals to hack systems at scale. We need to be ready.

by Rhiannon Williams, April 4, 2025

"Agents are the talk of the AI industry—they’re capable of planning, reasoning, and executing complex tasks like scheduling meetings, ordering groceries, or even taking over your computer to change settings on your behalf. But the same sophisticated abilities that make agents helpful assistants could also make them powerful tools for conducting cyberattacks. They could readily be used to identify vulnerable targets, hijack their systems, and steal valuable data from unsuspecting victims.

"At present, cybercriminals are not deploying AI agents to hack at scale. But researchers have demonstrated that agents are capable of executing complex attacks (Anthropic, for example, observed its Claude LLM successfully replicating an attack designed to steal sensitive information), and cybersecurity experts warn that we should expect to start seeing these types of attacks spilling over into the real world."
