Javvad Malik and Erich Kron are back with tea, shade, and tech news, taking on three fresh cyber disasters that are making folks sweat:

JLR’s Cyber Chaos: A hack shut down Jaguar Land Rover’s IT & production lines, and now its supply chain workers are being told to apply for Universal Credit. When “just a hack” looks more like a national employment crisis. 

Teenagers + Scattered Spider = TfL Attack Fallout: Two teens are now charged for allegedly being part of the Scattered Spider crew that hacked Transport for London last August. From Oyster cards to APIs—this one’s got lots of teeth. 

SonicWall: “Oops, Backups Leaked (a Little Bit)”: Under 5% of SonicWall users impacted by exposed firewall backup prefs. Credentials were encrypted but still, enough info was accessible to give attackers a run for their money. Reset everything. Like now. 

Buckle up: we’ll laugh, we’ll cringe, and we’ll figure out what this means for real people doing real work in security.
