Three Buddy Problem - Episode 73: The buddies react to Google’s release of Gemini 3 and its early performance, new Chrome interface changes landing on users’ machines, and major highlights from CYBERWARCON. We revisit the long-running debate over APT naming conventions, examine Amazon’s latest threat-intel reporting on Iranian activity, and walk through the Cloudflare outage that briefly knocked chunks of the internet offline.

Plus, new APT reports from ESET, Positive Technologies, and SecurityScorecard, and China's CN-CERT (now validated claim) that the U.S. government seized billions in Bitcoin tied to the Lubian mining-pool hack.

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