This episode digs into a lightning-fast npm supply chain attack that shows how AI is collapsing human response time, explores a skull-vibration authentication system built into XR headsets that could verify you're still you without lifting a finger, and covers the North Carolina IT admin who methodically locked thousands of company devices with a password straight out of a cybercrime playbook. From accelerating threats to passive biometrics to insider extortion, it's a snapshot of security in motion.
