Executive Summary
A weekly bulletin covering smart TV proxyware, a 24-year-old curl bug and AI crime forums.
What Happened
It’s dumb out there again. This week has the usual smell of prod on fire and nobody wanting to admit who left the door open — old creds still working, trusted apps doing sketchy crap, browser tricks jumping the fence, and “normal” workflows turning into phishing pipes because apparently email was not enough hell already. The worst part is how cheap some of it feels. Not elite. Not cinematic.
