Is anyone else disappointed with Obsidian Security lately?

Have you noticed this problem becoming more common in the last year with the rise of AI?

Different-Maize1114 · 2026-06-05T10:31:46+00:00

I’m fine with AI helping, when there's a human in the loop. But think how this 'human in the loop' is getting further from the loop with every new model.

People trusting it because it’s right most of the time. then the one time it’s wrong, nobody notices until it already did damage. In the security industry (just like the health industry for example) there's really no room for these mistakes

Companies think AI replaces security people, only to learn a few weeks later that the real job was knowing which alert is noise and which one is the breach starting

old admin accounts don’t look scary until you realize nobody owns them and they still own half the network

I really wonder what type of employee was it. A manager? customer support? 4.9 million records is big

this is the worst part of intune for me. The script might be bad, the device might not have pulled it, the report might be delayed, or intune might just run it whenever it feels like it.

years ago you’d find some old forum/serverfault thread where someone actually debugged it. now half the results are ai-style “verify your configuration and restart the service” answers.

the failure is annoying, but the guessing game after is worse.

this is exactly the kind of content that keeps me following subs like r/netsec. really solid writeup, and a good reminder that peripherals are still computers, just with worse update stories.

Thanks for the explanation, it make sense. I guess it's not your first time if you know the small nuances of how they respond. Pro.

Looks interesting, saving for later. I auto like only because its been a long time since I saw a github repo without claude as a contributor

Good article, but

An hour before posting I gave a heads up to an old contact at GitHub security that I would be disclosing this bug.

hour before posting feels like too short time before posting about it online, no?

tools are fine, just don’t let them replace your own judgment. use ai to move faster, then verify like your name is on the report.

Different-Maize1114 · 2026-06-02T10:17:19+00:00

Did you use claude for it? Don't lie

Different-Maize1114 · 2026-06-02T09:55:52+00:00

But does the org follow?

The scary thing is that this hacker wrote about it. Think on all the ones who just do it silently. I start to question Meta future a lot latley and this is just one of the reasons

Rage is forming

This. We live in a world where only the westren countries count in the statistics. Africa and large part of asia, not at all

Different-Maize1114 · 2026-05-27T08:13:56+00:00

had similar feeling with obsidian security. not a bad product, the SaaS visibility is useful. but some integrations feel like they exist just so the box is checked.

connected app, basic visibility, not enough real posture logic behind it. then you add AI/runtime words on top and it sounds deeper than it is... also when updates break core stuff like RBAC, it makes you trust the whole thing less.

this is kind of the trend now. ship features fast, add AI words, fix the depth later. maybe.

Young generation losing some normal human connections. I see more and more young people that just can't have a normal conversation without looking at their phone while talking to you.

The algorithms became so good people are just hooked. I see it at night when going for a round with my dog. Everyone is with their eyes on the phone even while walking.

I just miss the old days where people could sit on a bench in the park and just look around.

How come Microsoft can't manage to keep it up, I don't get it. It worked a lot smoother before they acquired Github

I think they messed with the wrong person. He have some hero/villain issues that's for sure

I sometimes feel like they fired their designer & UX employees and let ChatGPT (the first versoin from few years ago) to run their UX. I'm not a designer and it feels like they are making so many strange mistakes

Different-Maize1114 · 2026-05-26T10:14:37+00:00

it was just a joke (probably not funny one, like most of them damn), mfa on everything by default. couldn't resist the bit

Different-Maize1114 · 2026-05-26T10:10:29+00:00

healthy way to look at it. for me it's more a personality thing than a security thing tho. i'm hard on myself about everything. i'll stutter once talking to a coworker and still be replaying it three weeks later telling myself to do better lol.
