This marks a fundamental shift in software security — vulnerabilities are no longer just human mistakes or malicious injections, but systemic flaws created by the tools meant to accelerate development. This episode explores how AI‑generated vulnerabilities, leaked iPhone exploits, macOS malware using fake CAPTCHAs, human psychology at RSAC 2026, and a cyberattack on medical device manufacturer Stryker all point to the same conclusion: the threat landscape is evolving faster than traditional defenses can keep up.
