On this week’s show Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by special guest co-host Brad Arkin to talk through the week’s cybersecurity news, including:

• Sacré bleu! Hackers turn up the heat at French supermarket freezers
• ShinyHunters enters “find out” stage
• Netscaler, Zimbra, SharePoint, Atlassian…. So many bugs exploited in the wild
• More models “behave badly” (by… doing exactly what we’re telling them to do)
• Ukraine hit another Yandex data centre in Russia and all those Texan patriots with numbers in their usernames have gone super quiet
• Much, much more…

This week’s show is brought to you by Corelight. Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Gregory Bell joins James Wilson to chat about the company’s new white paper that looks into whether a sophisticated model or nicely structured data is more important with automated SOC work.

Spyware chips found inside Ledger crypto-wallets, a cyberattack defrosts supermarket freezers across France, Dutch-owned supermarkets go offline in multiple countries following a cyberattack, and the EU wants smart glasses to beep loudly when they’re recording.

In this edition of Between Two Nerds Tom Uren and The Grugq examine how ShinyHunters and the FBI both deceived themselves into believing they were immune to cyber threats.

Two ShinyHunters suspects arrested in Jordan and the US, hackers breach TLD registrars to get valid Google certs, Japanese authorities arrest a Qilin ransomware member and Google suspends its open-source bug bounty program after a flood of AI bug reports.

In this Risky Business sponsored interview James Wilson chats with Prowler’s founder and CEO Toni de la Fuente about how AI now allows pretty much anyone to vibe-code “killer apps”. These custom apps are often internal for organisations and hosted on the cloud.

The pair discuss why developers need to focus on security on top of app functionality and how Prowler can work in parallel with apps and agents to help secure, and continuously assess, cloud infrastructure.

In this solo Risky Business Features episode, James Wilson explains why “number of bugs” fixed in any given update is a misleading metric. We’ve seen up to 1,000 individual bug fixes in a single update recently, but that doesn’t give defenders the full picture they need to manage risks.

Not all bugs are equally exploitable, so the industry needs to catch up to the bugpocalypse with more transparency. And maybe an entirely different approach to patching.

Authorities dismantle the KillSec hacking group, South Africa thwarts a ransomware attack against air traffic control systems, the US sanctions Venezuelan ATM hackers and a Chinese APT targets AI experts.

Amberleigh Jack and James Wilson chat about OpenAI agents’ recent escapades into Australian government websites. OpenAI has promised to “rebuild trust with Australians” but we’re likely getting a glimpse into the new normal, here.

They also discuss how the ShinyHunters hacking group has found itself on law enforcement’s target list after breaching FBI systems. The group played some stupid games and they appear to be in the “stupid prizes” stage.

A ShinyHunters suspect has been arrested in the Netherlands, Apple fixes an iOS zero-day found by Meta, recent Citrix zero-days see mass exploitation within hours and NVIDIA launches an AI sandboxing platform.

In this sponsored Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast Patrick Gray chats with industry legend HD Moore about how his company runZero wound up being used heavily to discover OT devices in enterprise networks.

They also talk about the vulnpocalypse and how frontier lab fearmongering is reminiscent of the collective freakout when HD released the Metasploit exploit framework back in 2003.
