Microsoft Patches a Record 570 Security Flaws Driven by AI Discovery
Microsoft just released a massive update fixing a record 570 security holes, nearly triple the previous month's count. This surge is largely due to artificial intelligence accelerating vulnerability discovery, leading to critical fixes for Windows and three active zero-day exploits. While AI helps find bugs faster, it also empowers attackers, challenging traditional security ratings and prompting other tech giants to increase their own patch frequencies.
Our way of looking at Patch Tuesday has changed, because the exploitability index is centered around humans, not AI tools, and as these tools continue to improve, defense needs to improve alongside it.

If I find a bug in very important MS products, I usually do report them using their shitty feedback app. Not once has any of that yielded anything.
Maybe a way to find tons of high impact bugs would be to let MS developers access those bug reports?

It seems like bug hunting might be the one area where AI is actually making the world a better place.

They should patch that Global Device ID thing

This is great. Now ask Mythos to make windows suck less and let it go crazy.

If you want an easy way to view these I made https://wofa.dev to keep track of windows updates and security patches in a single place

The attack surface of Windows is infinite
As one door closes, another opens
"Features"
"Fixes"
Job security
Security holes
The threat model is Microsoft

Gets me wondering if it is real or they just got a backlog quick fixes dropped so it looks like AI bug hunting really works to prop up their AI bullshit narrative.
