The Breach

Eleven businesses got breached in 26 seconds.

Not 11 in a week. Twenty-six seconds.

Somebody pointed AI agents at two known flaws in print management software. Print software. The most boring thing in your building. The campaign hit at least 440 instances across 395 organizations in 48 countries.

Here's the part that should annoy you.

AI didn't invent anything. The flaws were known. The patches existed. Nobody had installed them. AI took a lazy old burglary and gave it a jetpack.

Everybody's arguing about whether AI is going to end the world. Meanwhile the actual risk to your business this month is that somebody clicked "remind me later" on an update.

So here's your Monday. Ask whoever handles your computers one question:

"Is everything updated, and is two-factor on for anything that matters?"

If you get anything other than a fast yes, you just found the most productive fifteen minutes of your month.

The defense is boring. It has always been boring. Boring still works.
