This episode digs into the growing gap between cyber threats and our defenses — from the FBI's report on a record $21 billion lost to scams, to AI models now finding zero-day vulnerabilities in hours instead of months. We also look at how modern GPUs can crack complex passwords in under a day, and why credential theft remains the fastest path to a breach.

This episode covers Google's 2029 deadline for quantum-safe encryption, the military weaponization of hacked security cameras by state actors, and the compromising of FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email by a suspected Iranian cyber unit. Adrian North walks through why these aren't isolated incidents—they're signals of a rapidly shifting threat landscape where legacy systems, unpatched IoT devices, and personal security gaps are becoming critical vulnerabilities.
