My reading has found things like generic phishing becoming more like spearfishing and blue teams finding preexisting problems using AI. Have there been any zero days? Do you think quantum computing will have a more significant impact on security than AI? Relatively speaking, how significant a role does good personal security practices like password management play relative to these two?
Disclaimer: my opinion
AI seems like a bit of a nothing burger in terms of interesting stories. We have stories, sure, but it’s still just generative trained things.
The biggest quantum computing story I saw was about iMessage implementing it, which was also a gateway to discovering Signal already had.

That’s mostly what I thought. The attack surface is still mostly the device between the monitor and the chair
