About this episode

This episode discusses various cybersecurity issues including emotional surveillance patents and supply chain attacks.

This episode covers Meta's newly filed patent for continuous emotional surveillance, a supply chain attack on Jscrambler's npm package that compromised developer credentials, and a joint intelligence warning about Russian hackers breaching critical infrastructure through weak router security. We also dig into Google and Microsoft pulling the ModHeader extension after it was caught secretly collecting browsing history from over a million users. It's Tuesday morning, and the signals are already loud.
