About this episode

This episode discusses cybersecurity threats in software supply chains and highlights lesser-known trail races.

This episode digs into a dark week for software supply chains, from the Glassworm botnet takedown to the TrapDoor malware infecting npm, PyPI, and CratesIO—plus why multi-factor authentication isn't as bulletproof as you think when attackers weaponize fatigue. Adrian also spotlights thirteen under-the-radar trail races that trade crowds for waterfalls and old-growth forests. It's cybersecurity threats and hidden running gems before your coffee cools.
