What happened
Collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts covering multiple high-risk security topics: AI tools being used for cryptanalysis and rapidly accelerating vulnerability discovery; a reported Windows zero-day that defeats default BitLocker protections and ensuing legal threats from Microsoft toward a researcher; a major CISA data leak exposing AWS GovCloud credentials and internal deployment artifacts via a public GitHub repo; calls for urgent, coordinated vulnerability disclosure and patching in the age of AI; and privacy concerns from Wi‑Fi sensing. The posts highlight systemic risk across vendor/CI
