   my 2025 infosec prediction is that asset lists will still be as outdated and incomplete and nonexistent as we saw in 2005.

     linux kernel people will yell about rust being a cult and then write code containing 5827417 instances of undefined behaviour while remaining smug about their incredible coding skills and then call it a witch hunt against them when everyone gets fucking owned as a result

     Quantum computers will be able to factor a bigger number but it will still be small enough that you could validate the result on a $5 calculator. The tech press will claim it breaks AES.

     Microsoft will get owned using creds stolen from Recall on one of their staff's systems

     someone will try to make a thing that competes with Signal and it will go very badly and soatok will begrudgingly write a blog post about it

     UPDATE: just 15 days into 2025 and it came true: http://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/

     also someone will overhype the absolute shit out of a bug that turns out to be a complete nothingburger. I'm gonna guess... something related to USB-C.

     ransomware groups will continue to absolutely shithouse major companies using really low-hanging techniques and legislators will blather on about doing something about it for another 12 months unless maybe someone says china did it and then racism might get them off their ass and we'll all be deeply disillusioned about it
