In the world of cybercrime and hacking, the rise of AI has been a
blessing, as it has given ne'er-do-wells even more ways to steal
accounts, nab vital information, or phish you for money. All is not
lost, though, as it turns out that there's one AI that's so good at
finding security issues and vulnerabilities in code that it's
currently the leader in the US HackerOne leaderboard.

Well, Let's hope AGI doesn't feel like hacking our computer systems.........
