Three Buddy Problem

From Epstein to Notepad++: Redactions, Zero-Days and Supply Chain Attacks


Listen Later

(Presented by Thinkst Canary: Most Companies find out way too late that they’ve been breached. Thinkst Canary changes this. Deploy Canaries and Canarytokens in minutes and then forget about them. Attackers tip their hand by touching ’em giving you the one alert, when it matters. With zero admin overhead and almost no false-positives, Canaries are deployed (and loved) on all 7 continents.)

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 84: We process the cybersecurity fallout from the latest Epstein document dump, focusing on why redactions fail in the AI era and how quickly modern tools can unravel them. The conversation moves from sloppy redaction practices and exploit mythology to harder questions about ethics, accountability, and silence within the infosec community.

Plus, inside the Notepad++ supply-chain compromise attributed to a known Chinese APT, Microsoft’s security executive changes, Anthropic's AI-driven vulnerability discovery, China-linked network implants, and Lockdown Mode thwarting FBI investigators.

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