Anthropic’s offering to help open-source projects track down security vulnerabilities with a new service called OSS Scanner. It says open-source projects that opt-in will get “thorough, periodic security scans by our strongest models at no cost.” That could mean open-source projects get alerted about possible security issues sooner, but the trade-off is that OSS Scanner’s […]

Linus Torvalds says Linux security list is becoming ‘unmanageable’ due to AI bug reports

Linux founder Linus Torvalds said in his most recent state of the kernel post that “the continued flood of AI reports has basically made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication due to different people finding the same things with the same tools,” as The Register reports. That probably doesn’t apply to stuff […]
