"BEC attacks are incredibly effective because they don't require sophisticated malware or zero-day exploits," says cybersecurity researcher Kevin Beaumont. "They exploit the weakest link - human decision-making under time pressure. A single compromised email account can yield millions if the attacker times it right."

<PERSON> would have said "<THINGS>" had we asked them and not used AI to extract a likely statement from their other writings and other works that our AI scraped.

I too would not agree that humans are 'the weakest link', there surely are cases where 'a human' was 'a weakness', but in the context of Dr. Reason's swiss cheese model, rarely the weakest in the overall design of any system.

After all, a key objective of proper cybersecurity is exactly to mitigate the human factor, so arguably, by definition if it came down to a human, something more critical failed. (Design, GRC, etc.)

(From maker-checker to insider threat - the field is supposed to be designed to reduce the weakness of the human factor, if anything that failed.)

(Okay with that said… some specific humans may best detect by triggering malware…)

But the important question everyone wants to know is...

Did LLM correctly 'predict' what would have been your quote had they bothered to ask you... 🤪 (that would bother me most )

Hey, some of us can only hope to be prominent enough to feature in hallucinations!

Can you charge them for the interview?
