An AI tool just did what thousands of human developers couldn’t manage over 15 years — it found a hidden security flaw buried deep inside Linux, one of the most widely used operating systems on the planet. That single AI cybersecurity discovery set off a chain of questions about what else machines might be finding that people keep missing. And it wasn’t the only unsettling tech story to surface this week.
Key takeaways
An AI tool called VEGA, built by Nebula Security, uncovered a Linux security bug that had gone undetected since 2011 — for 15 years.
Google paid Nebula Security over $92,000 for the discovery, signaling how seriously the industry takes the find.
Reporter Joel Feder was surrounded by four police cars after a license plate typo in the Flock system flagged his borrowed $155,000 car as stolen.
The Pentagon launched a hacker training program paying just $22,500 a year, with no degree required — but trainees must repay costs if they fail.
