This episode discusses critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and a significant botnet takedown, along with new AI-driven attack methods.

This episode covers critical vulnerabilities in Gogs and Palo Alto's GlobalProtect VPN that are already being actively exploited, plus the takedown of a massive 17 million device botnet in the Netherlands. Adrian also digs into a bizarre new attack where hackers used an AI agent to carry out post-compromise actions autonomously. It's a Monday morning packed with urgent patches and unsettling new tactics.
