Thanks to AI, hackers quickly discovered new vulnerabilities such as CopyFail, DirtyFrag, and Fragnesia. They use LLMs to analyse Linux, finding and exploiting the security flaws faster than ever. The expertise required to hack is at an all-time low.

The Fedora Project decided to explain which precautions are being put in place to protect your system:

first security precaution is to not believe hype, even if it's LLM hype. There is simply no such thing yet as "artificial intelligence" or at least not in the way most people talk about it. That's likely to never happen.

And I think an offline computer is a glorious thing, so I will use an ancient system until it falls apart, so long as I am not forced to engage in this new, terrible, and terrible wasteful, stupid exercize in stuffing money in rich men's pockets.

@csgraves the linked article is part of the official bulletin of Fedora Linux. It is authored by a security engineer, also member of the Fedora packaging team. 👋
