Threat intel researcher logs 228 ThreatFox contributions as AI speeds up attacks
AccBalanced · x · 2026-10-31
Security researcher Darkfibr3, known for being evidence-based rather than doom-y, says he's now convinced threat actors, exploits and campaigns are accelerating: he personally added 228 contributions to ThreatFox since the 10th of the month alone. Some work carries the 'smell' of AI-augmented operations, and peers across the industry report the same fatigue and rising tempo. He urges everyone to review personal security posture: keep local backups, rotate passwords, enable 2FA.
