AI slop: low‑quality bug reports overwhelm projects

(Presented by Material Security: We protect your company’s most valuable materials -- the emails, files, and accounts that live in your Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 cloud offices.)

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 82: We parse news that China-linked VoidLink is a malware framework created entirely by AI and the collapsing line between elite APT operations and everyday threat actors.

Plus, a new Sean Heelan essay on low-cost exploit generation and why “AI guardrails” are mostly a comforting myth; AI slop overwhelming bug bounty programs; CISA's new Brickstorm YARA rules; and fresh research on a wiper-malware found in Russian attacks against Poland's electricity sector.

Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
