New, by me: How AI Assistants are Moving the Security Goalposts
AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.

We will know (or not) Singularity arrived when a siliconiac withdraws a few billion from some unaware corporation's account, bribes the mayor and city council to obtain a plot of land with access to water and electricity, then quietly begins to build a fab for chips of its own design plus an android factory. Where protein based lo-paid workers will place new chips in their new ruler new bodies. -

@briankrebs You can safely use an agent for anything you want to break.

@briankrebs It's more important now than ever that AI agents have good governance, are used responsibly and monitored appropriately.
Productivity is nice, but security still matters.

When I taught systems architecture, one of the main aphorisms was "design the security layers first, especially if you can't control all the application code".
Now it's "deploy AI, with totally unpredictable behaviour, and don't worry about security"

@briankrebs went to look at it and all of the images are failing to load for me? For example, I get back a solid 403 Forbidden for https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/openclaw.png. The rest of the site loads fine, just images are blocked.
