"Security" announcements seem to be of 3 kinds lately:

1. Serious. "This is a problem and it needs fixing yesterday."

2. Marketing. "We discovered that if earth had two moons and they aligned right and you had local root already you could blah blah. By the way we are selling this product that will generate a positive feedback loop for your paranoid tendencies, buy buy buy!".

3. Reputation chasing. Same as above, except they don't sell you a product, they want to establish themselves as an expert in aligning moons.

Much easier to do 2 or 3 via "AI" by the way.
