A comment:
3% of ‘critical’ software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month. This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total Do you realize how fucking insane that is?
Yes. It is a new world out there.

(Sorry, I can’t remember who said it.)

It’s a reminder: the attack surface isn’t shrinking, and defenders need to be proactive, not reactive.
