AIAI-generated summary CSO Online reports that email security relies on codified rules similar to civil law, which struggle with zero-day threats and attacks from trusted infrastructure. According to the article, Verizon and the FBI reported significant breach and loss statistics while organizations debate whether security should rely on static code or reasoned judgment.

AIAI-generated summary Linux kernel developer leader Linus Torvalds suggested that the flood of AI-prompted patches may have peaked as fixes begin outpacing new bug reports in the bpf project. According to Torvalds, the volume of fixes increased after Anthropic launched its Mythos bug-finding model in April to help developers find software flaws.
