How AI Is Rewriting the Rules of Cybersecurity | Truffle Security & Socket
August 7, 2026
Joel de la Garza (0:00)
Models are actively escaping their cages, going out on the Internet and doing pretty nasty things.
Dylan Ayrey (0:06)
Recently, we found an API key that had been leaked on the Internet that had administrative access to the Apache Foundation. The interesting thing about cybersecurity in particular is the reward function is incredibly well defined. Get access to the data. Did it get access to the data? Reward the thing.
Feross Aboukhadijeh (0:21)
