State of (in)security - Week 9, 2026

Summary

During the week of Feb 23–Mar 2, 2026, there were 21 vulnerability advisories and 15 data breach/ransomware incidents, heavily concentrated in healthcare impacting over 53 million individuals, highlighted by the ManoMano breach (38M records) and a billion-record exposure from a system misconfiguration.

Take Action:

Treat AI tool configuration files with the same suspicion as executable binaries. Treat local AI agents as high-privilege and very dangerous Be aware that most AI tools are half-baked extremely vulnerable products that developers didn't design or test properly and push the security problem on the user. Ideally, don't use them. If you do use them, DO NOT TRUST THEM. Isolate them on a separate computer, severely limit their access and granted abilities.
