Yes, exactly, that’s the main change. And not just in a script kiddy way. What we see now is LLM + experts can develop extremely complex exploit chains in no time. It’s one thing to exploit a known vulnerability that you can patch by upgrading your Wordpress, it’s something else when the attacker is able to completely take over your systems in ways you didn’t even consider was possible and adapt in 1 day to your attempts at patching
For now, after the dust settles all of the low hanging fruit will have been patched and we will have hurried up the move to safer languages.
The root problem is the world runs on C code that is riddled with vulnerabilities.
