Hello To The Best Cyber Nerd Community This Fine Nation Has To Offer,
We hope your (F5) firewalls are patched and your caffeine levels steady, because November looks lively. Between the explosion of prompt injection research, and the ongoing debate about whether AI can outsmart a well-placed regex, it’s been a busy few weeks in the infosec world.
