1/ Are you using Grok? You need to read this.

Grok Bot’s sandbox accepts commands from anywhere on the internet after two checks. One is a password. The password is "local," the same for every customer.

From there, it’s root on the VM and your imported cookies in plaintext.

We told xAI and Cursor on Aug 24.

Quick one.

Over 35,000 Grok-built apps are exposed online, and some of them are leaking confidential data and passwords.

💡 What to do: Review CloudTrail logs from October 1 for Qubole role assumptions and revoke any stale trust relationships.

Heads up if you ever used Qubole.

Wiz and Sentra found that attackers used stolen Qubole credentials to get into dozens of AWS environments.

Between Oct 14 and Oct 26 they used the legitimate permissions customers had granted Qubole to assume customer roles.

One victim lost millions of files, and another had dozens of passwords and keys stolen within minutes.

Researchers noted that many organizations still had those permissions in place after they stopped using Qubole.

AWS says there was no direct breach of its services, and Qubole hasn’t issued a statement yet.
