Indonesia emerges as a new cyber scam hub, Grafana got hacked and held for ransom, the Fast16 malware subverted software used to simulate nuclear explosions, and a new Microsoft Exchange zero-day is under attack.

In this sponsored soap box edition of the Risky Business podcast Patrick Gray chats with Toni de la Fuente, the founder of Prowler.

Prowler started off as a bunch of scripts in a trenchcoat, then became an open source cloud security tool, and it’s now a venture-funded cloud security business. In this interview Toni talks us through how AI is changing the game for him as an open source project owner, and as a vendor. In short, reports of the death of IT and security tooling at the hands of frontier models have been greatly exaggerated.

RubyGems disables sign-ups after an attack on staff, Instructure paid the ransom, the Gentlemen ransomware operation gets hacked, and another major supply chain attack on npm (yawn).

• Instructure pays Canvas elearning platform data extortionists
• More Linux privilege escalation 0days!
• CISA helping critical infrastructure operators rearchitect their networks so they work offline

This week’s episode is sponsored by email security platform Sublime Security. Bobby Filar chats with Patrick about how agentic AI is being evaluated by buyers in a marketplace that’s experiencing “AI fatigue”.

In this podcast James Wilson and Brad Arkin workshop the advice they think the industry needs to hear when it comes to deploying agentic AI in the enterprise.

Relegating agentic AI to non-sensitive and low-risk tasks doesn’t deliver value, and avoiding all risk stalls progress. James and Brad discuss the phases of AI adoption and contrast what a great plan looks like, versus an overly cautious one.

In this edition of Between Two Nerds Tom Uren and The Grugq discuss why it makes even more sense for criminal organisations to adopt AI as compared to regular businesses.
