Listen Later

When a popular antivirus and even Notepad++ turn into infection vectors after supply chain breaches, it's clear no software is safe from attack—or from its own update system. Steve and Leo unpack the risks hiding right inside your next auto-update.

  • An anti-virus system infects its own users.
  • Apple's next iOS release "fuzzes" cellular locations.
  • cURL discontinues bug bounties under bogus AI flood.
  • AI discovers and fixes 15 CVE-worthy 0-days in OpenSSL.
  • Ireland did NOT already pass their spying legislation.
  • AI irreversibly deletes all project files. Says it's sorry.
  • Windows has a serious global clipboard security problem.
  • ISPs have the ability to monetize their subscriber's identities.
  • MongoDB has lowered the hacking skill level bar to the floor
