PSA: Copilot installed itself on my Android phone
I STRONGLY suggest you check your apps and uninstall it. Fortunately, I was able to just go to apps in settings and uninstall it.
I also found with my latest Windows update it got reinstalled after I removed it, although that was less of a surprise.
(This is not a post to add your opinions about how I shouldn't use Windows or Android anyway. Life is not as simple as that.)

Mythos Needs to Shift Left
Over the years I have been part of many discussions around a classic debate around red team versus blue team, the value of penetration testing, and the value they each bring. I started my InfoSec career in 1996 doing pentesting (aka red teaming) a couple years before it really exploded. For nine years that was my life and it often meant working crazy hours. My final gig doing it was with BT-INS…
Vulnerability Embargos Are Dead
Introduction When a researcher finds a security vulnerability that impacts more than one vendor, and they wish to coordinate disclosure with both, it creates a situation where an embargo must be put in place.

Vulnerability Research Isn't Cooked; It's Burned Beyond Recognition
On March 30, 2026, Thomas & Erin Ptacek posted a blog titled “Vulnerability Research Is Cooked“. I don’t believe I know Erin, but I know of Thomas as an old-school vulnerability researcher who has been well respected for a long, long time. When he speaks about vulnerability research, I certainly listen. So this blog was of interest to me for a variety of reasons as it primarily talked about the…
We Are Legion (We Are Bobservations); Answering a "Simple" Question
In late February, a friend linked an article about a science-fiction book and asked if I had read it. I told her that I hadn’t but after reading an abstract it sounded good. She asked if I would be her designated reader due to her workload, and report back. I said sure! She was particularly interested in it after reading an article by Rya Jetha in the The San Francisco Standard. The article,…
My Pledge re: so-called AI and this Blog
With the prevalence of so-called artificial intelligence (AI), the amount of people turning to it to the technology to help them write, or fully write, content is growing quickly. While it may be getting more difficult to detect assisted writing and generative images, it is still fairly easy and reliable. Regardless, I want to be very clear about my use of this technology past, present, and…
… why? would anyone pay for this? If you want a computer to read you a book, text-to-speech is right there. And if you want a reading that understands and communicates meaning, sorry, you need a human, not a predictive bot.
