    Wedding day week for Eric, and Jon may have a 7th hive (NB: Nope, didn't happen). Mythos + MacOS == 55 page hand delivered report to Apple Park, a contractor at CISA dumps creds in an open GitHub repo, and Cloudflare runs Mythos for exploit PoC generation. Journalists found the answer for K4 by Journalisting, and arXiv announces publishing bans for AI slop.

    Eric preps for an exciting week and it's all Bees in Jon's world at the moment.

    Eric kicked off talking about the latest wedding prep and Jon awaits his bees. A fake crypto app stole $9.5 million right off the Apple App Store, plus a review of 2026's nastiest cyberattacks. On the science side, Eric shared the wild discovery of trees secretly sparking with invisible UV light during storms, and Jon wrapped up by theorizing how the JWST found unexpected, thick water-ice clouds on a cold super-Jupiter exoplanet.
