On this week’s show Patrick Gray, and James Wilson are joined by bearded man of leisure Adam Boileau to discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
Accidental AI agent hacking sprees have the world’s media freaking out, but we think it’s all pretty funny
The bugpocalypse is so chaotic, Microsoft can’t patch fast enough
A ColdCard wallet flaw led to millions in Bitcoin theft, but the back story behind the bug is bonkers
Iran hacks and disrupts water infrastructure in multiple American states
North Korea’s state-backed hackers turn criminal. Or their criminals turn into state-backed hackers. Or something. It’s all a bit confusing, actually.
Much, much more!
This week’s show is brought to you by Sondera. Co-founder Josh Devon joins Patrick and James to talk through some absolutely hilarious LLM horror stories.
