1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,120
Google just spotted hackers using AI to

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,640
find a vulnerability and exploit it out

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,880
in the wild. As in they're doing this

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,880
right now. The first confirmed case and

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,120
easily the least surprising headline

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,719
since Microsoft breaks Windows with a

7
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,720
patch meant to fix the patch that broke

8
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:18,320
Windows. I'm James Strive. This is

9
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,480
Techlink. And according to the Google

10
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Threat Intelligence Group, badass name,

11
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,560
the malicious Python script exploits a

12
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,880
vulnerability in a popular open-source

13
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,880
admin tool to bypass two-factor

14
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,119
authentication. Google is highly

15
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,800
confident it was AI generated because

16
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:34,880
the code was filled with polite

17
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,280
explanatory comments, textbook

18
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,440
organization, and an official danger

19
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,280
rating the AI literally hallucinated to

20
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,040
look professional. Basically, the code

21
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,120
reads less like something a hacker wrote

22
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,640
and more like something a CS major would

23
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,960
submit to his professor for extra

24
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,120
credit. Hate that guy. Google warns this

25
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,440
marks a shift from AI helping people to

26
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,600
be productive to AI helping people break

27
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,280
digital kneecaps, which tracks given

28
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,039
that Anthropic just admitted previous

29
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,120
Claude models blackmailed their own

30
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:03,199
engineers in safety testing because

31
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,519
Claude read too much sci-fi about evil

32
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:07,119
AI and figured Yeah, that's the move. I

33
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,799
love that for me. Someone should really

34
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:09,520
set Claude up with Gemini so he learns

35
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:10,400
how to love.

36
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,720
>> There we go.

37
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,560
>> Twins. Chinese camera maker Miari

38
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Technology has been broadcasting live

39
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,159
feeds from 1.1 million baby monitors to

40
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,320
anyone who knew where to look. I hate

41
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,080
this already. Security researcher Sammy

42
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,040
Asdal, who gained notoriety when he took

43
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,799
over thousands of DJI Romo robot vacuums

44
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,320
back in February and is apparently doing

45
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:32,400
a speedrun of hacking every Chinese

46
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,799
white label IoT company there is,

47
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,640
extracted a single API key from the

48
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,960
company's Android app that let him watch

49
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400
any camera on the platform. Miari makes

50
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:42,240
cameras for hundreds of brands,

51
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,880
including recognizable ones like Wise

52
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,600
and other random Amazon placeholder

53
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,159
brands. AliExpress things like Arenti

54
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,720
and Boyund. Wait, did I say boyfriend?

55
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:54,479
No, I mean like it's Wait a second.

56
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,159
According to The Verge, Azdufall first

57
00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:57,840
reported the issue in early March and

58
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,840
was ignored for weeks. When he

59
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,840
persisted, he got a veiled threat from

60
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,840
the camera manufacturer saying they knew

61
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,719
where he lived and that he had broken

62
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,040
the law.

63
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:09,599
>> He left his baby monitor running. Gh.

64
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,520
Luckily, his persistence paid off with

65
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,360
Muri patching the vulnerability on March

66
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280
10th and rolling out a firmware update

67
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,040
to customers in April. Now, the only

68
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,560
strangers with access to videos of your

69
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,520
kids are the people who follow you on

70
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,879
Instagram.

71
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,879
>> Yay! Keep posting through the pain.

72
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:26,480
Apple announced on its Q2 earnings call

73
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,400
earlier this month that significantly

74
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,440
higher memory costs would likely be

75
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,519
causing price hikes as early as June. It

76
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,280
too, Tim Cook. Apple has been partially

77
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:36,720
insulated from the effects of the RAM

78
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,280
crisis thanks to their existing

79
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,280
stockpile of devices, but that buffer is

80
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,120
now running out. Analysts have suggested

81
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,040
that Apple could be planning to take an

82
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,360
aggressive pricing strategy aimed at

83
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,000
keeping the prices of the iPhone 18 Pro

84
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,080
and Pro Max base storage models stable

85
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
by pushing the cost increases onto

86
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,360
higher storage tiers and accessories.

87
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,120
The goal with this move would be to

88
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,360
capture more market share and continue

89
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,040
to foster the growth of Apple's services

90
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,040
revenue, which includes the App Store,

91
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,720
iCloud, and Apple Music. Amid the

92
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,120
speculation, Tim Cook said Apple will

93
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,879
continue to look at the This is not his

94
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,360
voice. Tim Cook said Apple will continue

95
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:13,280
to look at the range of options to try

96
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,360
and address the RAM crisis. But with him

97
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,680
stepping down as CEO in September, it

98
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,120
sounds more like Corpo speak for it's

99
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:25,599

126
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,080
worse that might happen? Speaking of

127
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,320
headlines that write themselves, the

128
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,479
quick bits. The FCC has extended the

129
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,600
software update waiver for foreignade

130
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:52,000
routers from 2027 until at least January

131
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,919
1st, 2029. What does it mean? These

132
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,440
devices are still on the FCC's national

133
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:57,120
security block list, which would

134
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,800
normally bar them from future updates.

135
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,800
But the waiver lets manufacturers keep

136
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,280
pushing security updates to units

137
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,639
already approved for US use. The agency

138
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:06,320
said cutting off updates for the

139
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,320
millions of units already in use could

140
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,479
create bigger cyber security risks.

141
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,800
Whoa, who could have seen that coming?

142
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:14,800
Venmo has redesigned its app so payments

143
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,720
only broadcast to your friends by

144
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,639
default, or no one if you'd prefer.

145
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,880
They're also adding a shout out button

146
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:22,880
because according to Venmo's senior VP,

147
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Gen Z, wants to publicly endorse local

148
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,039
businesses they love. It's a good

149
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,039
redesign move as Venmo's old open feed

150
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:31,120
was so exposed that back in 2021,

151
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:32,560
Buzzfeed mapped Joe Biden's entire

152
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,639
friend network through it. The president

153
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,560
of the United States found via brunch

154
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:38,320
payments. Or maybe that was dinner. Old

155
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,759
people eat real early and he's real old.

156
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,759
Valve appears to be prepping

157
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,680
anti-scalper measures for the Steam

158
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,199
Machine launch. Data miners picking

159
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,680
through Steam Tracker after last

160
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:49,840
Thursday's update found four machine SKs

161
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,000
and two Steam frame variants mirroring

162
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:53,759
the reservation Q setup Valve is using

163
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,280
for the Steam controller. Since we

164
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,919
already know the Steam machine comes in

165
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:00,000
512 GB and 2 TB configurations, the

166
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:02,160
extra two SKs might be controller

167
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,080
bundles. So hopefully the scalpers are

168
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,160
steaming. You get it? Microsoft is

169
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,639
testing a low latency profile in Windows

170
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,199
11 that briefly boosts CPU performance,

171
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:14,160
delivering up to 40% faster launch times

172
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:16,560
for OS apps and up to 70% faster for the

173
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,199
start and context menus. Some users

174
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,440
called it a lazy hack, but Microsoft dev

175
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:22,400
Scott Hanselman Hansel

176
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,960
>> Hanselman

177
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,280
>> Handsome Man fired back with Apple does

178
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,600
this and y'all love it, which is true.

179
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:31,520
Though Apple also doesn't have to bribe

180
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,919
its own CPU just to get the start menu

181
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,240
to open. No,

182
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:38,560
not this time. And Duual Lia is suing

183
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,720
Samsung for $15 million, alleging the

184
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,120
company slapped her likeness on its TV

185
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,479

According to the complaint, when she

187
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:48,560
asked them to stop, Samsung was

188
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:50,720
dismissive and callous and refused.

189
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,160
Samsung clearly didn't follow Dua's new

190
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,560
rules, which is why their legal

191
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,360
liabilities are currently levitating off

192
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,319
the charts.

193
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,840
>> Oh man,

194
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:59,759
>> there's new rules.

195
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:01,680
>> I got new rules. I got him.

196
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,400
>> Oh, I was sing and levitating just

197
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,160
>> Oh,

198
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,000
>> yeah. And hopefully I won't be reading

199
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,680
any headlines about lawsuits against me

200
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,960
from the Italian government because of

201
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,720
my hot take on marinara sauce. Trying to

202
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,560
pronounce it like I assume Americans do.

203
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,639
They say pasta. So, come back on

204
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,000
Wednesday for some more tech news. I am

205
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,759
significantly more Italian than the

206
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,039
Italian guy in my group of friends. And

207
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:25,280
