The MSI Center SYSTEM privilege escalation thread ran the same day, a reminder that software security hygiene is still bad in places you would not expect, including a gaming peripheral company shipping 3DES in 2026. The two threads are not directly connected, but they share a common subtext: the attack surface is growing faster than the defense.

The informal threat modeling guide from Soatok also surfaced today and was well received, with specific discussion of post-quantum cryptography and the gap between hybrid PQ+ECDH and pure PQ schemes once Q-Day arrives.
