A podcast with short episodes that discuss cyber crime cases, security problems, and infamous malware. I make my episodes quick and easy to understand so you get the story without the filler and too much technical jargon.

Fable 5 was based on Mythos, a model so dangerous it could not be released to the general public. But that release did not exactly go smoothly, was complains from customers that is too expensive and restrictive and later an order to shut it down. Sources: https://pastebin.com/xVAah5bd
AI support bots can help a lot in basic issues, but they can also cause a massive security incident if they are not well understood. Recently Meta AI's account recovery workflow was exploited by hackers to hijack many high profile accounts. Sources: https://pastebin.com/TCPFaQzG
Charter Communications, a major US telecom provider refused to pay a ransom, and so their data paid the price after being leaked on the dark web. Sources: https://pastebin.com/3PVNzDLX
GitHub is the most popular code repository site, but after an employee account was compromised their source code was stolen and is now up for sale on the dark web, with threats to leak it if there is not a buyer. Sources: https://pastebin.com/U07MP4M0
Canvas is a massive education platform used globally in education, and they just suffered a hack that has left both students ans educators scrambling during one of their busiest weeks of the year, finals. Sources: https://pastebin.com/tBmP2bxc
Ransomware groups don't often target each other, but when they do it gets really interesting. Not only can defenders learn a lot about how these groups operate, but it can really boost the reputation of these groups. The only issue is your victim will most likely strike back hard.

Ransomware negotiators are supposed to give you the best price to get your files back, but what if they are actually conspiring to get you the worst one? One such man plead guilty to this and revealed just how he worked with the BlackCat group to con his own clients.
DDoS attacks are common and annoying, not allowing you to visit your favorite app or more dangerously, not allowing you to use important government provided services you may need. Operation PowerOFF claims another criminal enterprise when they arrested 4 people and seized 53 servers involved in a massive DDoS as a service ring. Sources: https://pastebin.com/9iBuHv6a
Anthropic's latest model is supposedly better than all but the most elite level of hackers in discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, but where does that leave us today and where will we go in the future. Fortunately, at least not any time soon, I don't see the job of the security engineer being stolen by robots. Sources: https://pastebin.com/QFxpXmcH
Decentralized finance, when not done correctly, often lends itself to massive crypto heists that result in millions being stolen and the story of the Drift protocol which operates on the Solana blockchain is no different. Attackers didn't actually need a vulnerability in code to pull off this heist, however, just two separate people who signed off on a malicious transaction. Sources: https://pastebin.com/Q5BYYapY
