SAN FRANCISCO — A state-of-the-art AI password cracking system designed to break into Fortune 500 networks has officially shut down after failing to guess the password “SkibidiToilet668.” Security firms report that while their AI models can predict complex codes and mathematical patterns, they simply cannot understand the chaotic logic of Gen Z slang.
The $4.2 billion hacking tool, known as “DeepBreach,” spent three days trying to find a logical pattern in the password before overheating. Engineers discovered the AI was trained on literature, history, and math, leaving it completely defenseless against “brain rot” vocabulary. “The AI assumes humans act rationally when choosing security keys,” said Dr. Aris Thorne, Vice President of Algorithmic Confusion. “It tried ‘Shakespeare,’ ‘Quantum,’ and even ‘Password123,’ but the concept of a ‘Skibidi’ caused a total logic failure. The machine kept asking for a definition that doesn’t exist.”
Corporate IT departments are now scrambling to update security policies based on this failure. Instead of requiring special characters and numbers, security chiefs are mandating employees watch six hours of TikTok trends to generate “unhackable” logins. The strategy relies on the fact that not even supercomputers can predict a word that means nothing. “We are telling clients to embrace the chaos,” noted Marcus Vane, Director of Corporate Gibberish Implementation. “If the password makes you feel slightly dumber just by typing it, it is secure against AI.”
At press time, the hacking AI had been rebooted but was reportedly useless for cybercrime, as it now refuses to open any file that isn’t accompanied by a split-screen video of subway surfer gameplay.
