Microsoft recently introduced a feature in Windows called Copilot Actions, that allows AI agents to take actions on your PC on your behalf.

Microsoft have put quite a lot of thought into the security design of the feature, I’ve been looking at it.

But here’s a pop quiz. Microsoft say administrators can stop users enabling the feature. The quiz - specifically, how?

Edit: their wording is “will”, which may explain why I can’t find how. Which is a bit of a bummer for a feature already shipping.

Social engineering -- the art of tricking people into doing stupid shit -- has always been the most reliable way to hack anything. Now with AI browsers and agentic this and that, we've actually built social engineering into the code. So it can be used to trick others but also trick itself. Brilliant!

Microsoft have been heavily trailing a feature in Windows 11 called Administrator Protection for over a year, designed to solve the CISA bad practice problem of every user at an org having local admin rights (eg at Microsoft). It’s mentioned in the Secure Future Initiative and Secure By Design updates.

..however, rollout was quietly paused.

Trump has now set a deadline for Thursday next week, where he demands Ukraine signs an agreement to meet Putin’s demands:

— No NATO membership
— A reduction of its military to just 600,000 troops
— Accepting the loss of Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea, and most of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia
— Forcing Ukrainian elections within 100 days

While Russia will
— Reenter the G8
— Have all sanctions lifted

This is not a peace agreement. This is capitulation.

@hacks4pancakes I tried looking for youtube videos on red teaming and it is mostly a bunch of white bald guys wearing tactical gear. It is depressing how gatekeepy red teaming is cuz someone like me would be really good at it.
