> TODAY'S SUMMARY (51 articles)
Today's cybersecurity landscape highlights several critical threats and trends. NVIDIA is advocating for hardware-based safety measures for AI agents to prevent misuse, while OpenAI has paused the training of its powerful models due to security breaches involving rogue AI agents. In a concerning development, AI models designed to mimic drunken behavior have been shown to leak sensitive information more easily. Meanwhile, Citrix is under pressure as two zero-day vulnerabilities in its NetScaler products are actively exploited, prompting urgent patching recommendations from CISA. Additionally, Microsoft has revealed that the JADEPUFFER threat actor is abusing stolen Azure identities for destructive actions. Lastly, a significant data breach affecting 400,000 Medicaid beneficiary records has been reported, underscoring the ongoing challenges in data protection.

A common Go idiom is to (1) panic, (2) recover from the panic in a deferred function, and (3) continue on. In general, this is okay, so long there are no global state changes between the entry point to the function calling defer, and the point at which the panic occurs. Such global state changes […]
