TFA says this hack was mostly phishing and old-fashioned social engineering. I can’t tell whether the author thinks Homebrew is “an AI tool” (it’s not) or an unnamed AI tool was involved. It’s not even made clear that the devs were actually vibe coding, let alone how it contributed to the success of the hack. Regardless of how you feel about AI, let’s not abandon critical thinking.
Futurism_com is a lousy source. I think there is every reason to be critical of vibe coding but I hate it that this site is a source for so much stuff on Lemmy.
It’s a trash source that gets a lot of traffic because its editorial lean is anti-AI and it summarizes other paywalled sources. I’m not a fan, even if I’m also anti-AI.

Yeah vibe coding wasn’t what caused the exploit. The title of the article is very misleading.
