If you go through Google for 'booter services' or booters (DDoS), almost all of them are Cloudflare customers - you literally use Cloudflare to reach their service to order a DDoS, which businesses then pay Cloudflare to protect against.

Part of the reason I left my prior employer is the UK side of the business purchased Cloudflare, so I said yep, I'm out

If anybody is wondering- I've talked to CF before, I gave them a list of the crime groups using their service.. they kept them as customers.

There's never been a worse time to be a cyber defender than at present.

Not because of AI cyber incidents - this isn't happening in the trenches, but because of GenAI cyber vendors have figured out how to exploit executive fear for cash.

They're directly pissing in the face of everybody and asking for money. The GenAI golden shower.

The current situation will not be sustainable for defenders, business as usual is being neglected while a few orgs try to trouser money by misdirecting attention.

There's serious panic being caused by AI discovered vulnerabilities behind the scenes, where those finding them are basically using them as marketing. Automated vulnerability hype train again, basically.

A thread on a few of them.

Giving executives GenAI chatbots that talk absolute nonsense that will justify any stupid decision is, in fairness, going to continue to be very very funny.

It's like giving every C level dril as their advisor.

Well done to the CEO of Krafton, who asked ChatGPT how to avoid paying $250m in bonuses if Subnautica 2 launched well, executed the ChatGPT plan, got sued by staff, had all the chat logs appear in court, lose, and now have to pay $250m and more and be publicly humiliated by his own employees.

A reminder that Light Gary and Dark Gary will always be engaged in their battle
