| 10/14/26 |  SN 1100: Booby Trapping LLMs - AI Frenzy in Cybercrime | Hosts: Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte Think your open-source AI model is safe? This episode uncovers how LLMs can be secretly booby-trapped with undetectable backdoors, raising the stakes for anyone deploying AI in serious environments. Anthropic cuts live Internet access during testing. Will LLM technology turn out to be an uncontrollable dead end? What alternative AI technologies are underway? Anthropic offers free AI vulnerability scanning for open source. South Korean banks hit by Claude-driven cyberattacks. Japan declares a state of cyber-emergency due to attacks. For one listener, agentic coding has taken the joy out of coding. A listener is having way too much fun with AI and Halloween. Some listeners believe I'm downplaying the dangers of AI.

| 10/7/26 |  SN 1099: An Alien Mind - From RSA Weakness to Agentic Attacks | As AI becomes startlingly capable, top minds at OpenAI admit they can't always control what their own creations do—or even fully understand how they think. This episode dives into the real-world tension between rapid progress and the growing challenge of keeping AI truly aligned. GLM-5.3 can be and has been abliterated. What does that mean? Firefox 157 repairs a large number of high-impact vulnerabilities. A surprising reduction in RSA crypto strength has been discovered. Powerful agentic AI is being used to attack merchants. A new and potent Spectre-style processor attack has been designed. A neighbor falls victim to a Bitcoin scam. What can be done? A new and surprising use was found for GRC's DNS Benchmark.

| 9/30/26 |  SN 1098: How worried should we be? - Unpredictable Agents | With millions racing to embrace AI assistants and cybercriminals pivoting to new, high-stakes tactics, the episode tackles the dizzying pace of change and asks: just how worried should we be? The discussion pulls back the curtain on AI's unpredictable power, the escalation of digital extortion, and why the next breach may hit closer to home than you think.

| 9/16/26 |  SN 1096: Are we the Krell? - 153 Million Driver's Licenses Leaked | Are we charging toward a Krell-style catastrophe with AI, arming ourselves with incomprehensible power while missing the real risks lurking beneath the code? The full report on last week's nearly 1,000 Microsoft security fixes. Five months after its start, what's the status of Project Glasswing? Anthropic's rogue agent escape count reaches four incidents. Not to be outdone, OpenAI's count passes 10 and maybe as many as 23! Revisiting California's DROP compulsory data broker data deletion. Russian criminals get their hands on more than 153 million drivers license scans. "Skynet" is the wrong model for the end of the world.
