Plus, commentary on Chrome’s telemetry collection, Microsoft and the "SFI success story," newest BRICKSTORM backdoor intrusions, the US national security strategy, Anthropic's AI popping smart-contract bugs, a secret FBI ransomware-hunting unit getting weird, and a pair of sad stories in the security community.
