Weekly Update 521: Breach Perception v. Reality

I think what really resonates with me this week is being able to completely turn the tables on perceptions around things like AI being the big bad hacking tool the news would have you believe. There's the stat I talk about where it's had literally 0% impact on insurance payouts, the Dutch bloke who's now being tracked down based on his voice and Scott's MAG breach teardown that ultimately pointed to exposed keys rather than anything sophisticated. Then the mention in there about the Aussie headline where ChatGPT has hacked a court system down here when, in fact, a bloke used it to write a scraper he then pointed at the aforementioned website. It seems the truth just doesn't make for good headlines 🤷‍♂️
