I know this is a very serious and grave situation, but the fact that someone put an orange cone next to the missile is just mind boggling.

Really, really impressed with MSRC:

Hello Adam,

My name is Nic Fillingham and I work for the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) based in Redmond, WA. I help manage Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (also known as Responsible Disclosure) for vulnerabilities discovered in Microsoft products, services, and technologies.

Congratulations on having your talk “Threat Modeling LLMs: The PHANTOM-B model” selected for presentation at Black Hat USA 2026.

I’m reaching out to Black Hat USA 2026 presenters to ask whether their talk will disclose or discuss any MSRC cases or submissions.

Could you please reply and let me know if your talk will include any MSRC cases or submissions? If so, can you please provide the MSRC submission VULN-ID(s), case number(s) or CVEs numbers you plan to disclose or discuss.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Nic

Given the volume of talks, I’m utilizing automation to send these emails. My apologies if you receive this email in error or more than once.

They're literally planning a landing where the rover is lowered to the surface with a giant, single use crane, rather than a ramp, and designing two different moon buggies. (Astrolab and Pegasus).

It doesn't read like the plan is to cut one or the other...

Wow, understanding the Pope's 42,000 word message really is going to chew up a lot of tokens.

A few thoughts remembering Peter Neumann:

Peter shaped my professional career since the start.

Peter epitomized and modeled the idea that a computer scientist should not “stay in a lane,” but rather be engaged with the impacts of our work, and he did so so effortlessly that to this day I’m surprised when I hear someone say dismiss impacts of their work by saying “that’s not a computer science problem.”

While I was at Zero-Knowledge Systems, Peter was on our advisory board and I have fond memories of many dinners, and less fond memories of him critiquing our system design. Those memories are unhappy not because he was wrong, but because once he made his points, they were so obviously right that it was embarrassing to have missed them.
