We open with something that should be on every CISO's radar: the Iran-US-Israel conflict has gone fully hybrid. Conventional warfare and cyberattacks are now inseparable. Investigators tracked nearly 5,800 cyberattacks from close to 50 Iran-aligned threat groups, targeting data centres, critical infrastructure, and yes, even a major medical technology company. If you think geopolitical cyber spillover doesn't affect you, think again.
âš¡ From there, we dive into RSAC 2026. Google Mandiant's M-Trends report confirmed that attack propagation time has dropped from eight hours to 22 seconds. A human-only security response is no longer mathematically possible. We also unpack the AI Tragedy of the Commons: why the rush to deploy agentic AI is creating attack surfaces that most organisations haven't even begun to map. Machine identities now outnumber human identities 80,000 to one.
🤖 Then things get considerably more entertaining. Anthropic accidentally published 512,000 lines of Claude's source code to a public repository, and buried inside was an April Fool's Easter egg: a tamagotchi virtual pet called Claude Buddy, complete with 18 species, five rarity tiers, and a stat system tracking CHAOS and SNARK. The subsequent DMCA takedown of 8,100 GitHub repositories was also, apparently, an accident. You cannot make this up.
📻 We also look at WRIT-FM: a live radio station run entirely by Claude AI. All programming. All DJ scripts. No humans required. The future of broadcasting, or a cautionary tale? We discuss.
🚀 And we close with the most relatable story of the week: Artemis II astronauts, on their way to the Moon, calling Houston because Outlook wasn't working. Two instances. Neither functional. Rocket science, apparently, is no match for Microsoft.
