Researchers track the operation as CaptiveCrunch and attribute it to Storm-2945. It assesses Storm-2945 to be an operational sub-cluster of Midnight Blizzard, also known as

Your AI agent framework probably isn't your security problem (7,020 trials say so)

If you've picked LangChain over CrewAI (or vice versa) partly for "security reasons," this preprint is worth five minutes. I ran a controlled evaluation — 6 LLMs, 6 agent execution conditions, 5 attack families, 7,020 payload-verified trials — to isolate what actually explains security outcomes in agentic AI systems. The headline: framework choice explains about 0.06% of the variance (not statistically significant, p ≈ 0.70). Attack family explains ~29%. Model explains ~4%. In plain terms: which

Poutine: the true food of the gods

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition, CSS Art: Comfort Food A paper tray of poutine: 50 fries, 13 cheese curds, 11 patches of gravy, a ribbon of it still pouring in, and steam coming off the top. No images, no SVG, no canvas. Every edible object on screen is an <i> or a <b> shaped with CSS. I picked poutine because it is the worst-behaved food I could think of, and that turns out to be the interesting part. A croissant is a silhouette problem — get the outline right
