Oh this is interesting... in the ongoing WPEngine vs WordPress/Automattic/Mullenweg case, yesterday WPEngine filed a motion for sanctions due to spoliation of evidence, claiming Matt deleted evidence 😬

Replying to @tommyvedvik
Matt demonstrated that his sole ownership of WordPress Dot Org represented a critical single point of failure & his ability to hijack legitimate plugins & their update process represented clear evidence of both a vulnerability TO, and an actual instance OF a supply chain attack.
Funny thing, that — supply chain attacks can utterly destroy trust in a product and make people start looking elsewhere.
WordPress market share has declined for six consecutive months. 😮

I have held my tongue for 15 months, but I can't abide or normalize the legal violence that @wpengine is inflicting anymore.

Given enough AEyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
claude mythos just broke Apple's $2 billion defense system. it did so by discovering a completely different attack vector to break in
only took it 5 days costing ~$35K of mythos api time (the same exploit class costs $5-10M on grey market)
the researchers that commandeered the exploit produced a 55-page report that was delivered to Apple HQ in-person (hoping they release it after patching).
most shocking part for me is apple's MIE worked as intended. mythos just discovered a new way to side-step it entirely by poisoning the data the M5 chip ingested.
at this point i think we have to accept that mythos walks the walk.
As the anthropic red-team explicitly confirmed this week - this is NOT a compute resource issue. its national defense.

WordPress(.org) is a single point of control over plugin distribution. One entity controls the directory. One entity controls the update mechanism. One entity decides who gets to ship. I think the future of WordPress product distribution is decentralised: coenjacobs.com/blog/future-w…
