AI slop about an exposed, non-rate-limited endpoint providing ticket data given a booking code only (and not last name as it's usually the case).

Overuse of bulleted lists, unnecessary sensationalism, sentences like "The requests flew. There was no WAF, no IP blocking, no CAPTCHA." and so on. It reeks of someone pasting some notes into a chat prompt and asking it to spruce it up for publication.

"The fallout"

This flaw was critical.

And other vibes. You know it when you see it, though it may be hard to define.

How do you know your perception is accurate? One of humanity's biggest weaknesses is trusting that kind of response.

> This incident is a stark reminder

A stark reminder is a stark reminder about the existence of AI slop. You see the phrase a lot in social media comment spam.
