About this episode

This episode discusses various cybersecurity threats and incidents, including Linux rootkits and a GitHub breach.

This episode digs into the week's quiet but persistent threats—Linux rootkits, router zero-days, and AI adversarial probing—before covering major incidents including Grafana Labs' GitHub breach and a zero-day exploit in Trend Micro's own security software. Adrian North wraps up with a sobering reminder that even CISA contractors aren't immune to mistakes, as exposed AWS GovCloud credentials sat publicly on GitHub.
