Three Buddy Problem - Episode 79: We cover MongoBleed (CVE‑2025‑14847), exposed MongoDB deployments, and the sad realization that zero-day attacks are a normal, everyday occurrence. Plus, AI’s expanding role and misuse across products and workflows, proximity attacks against Bluetooth audio devices, spyware sanctions de-listings, and ransomware economics.

In a special mailbag segment, we give our book recommendations and respond to common questions from the listeners.

Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
