OpenClaw – an opensource AI agent dubbed “Claude with hands” – has exploded across GitHub, rocketing from obscurity to 170,000 stars in just two weeks. It’s now the fastest spreading form of shadow IT, with users plugging it into critical environments long before understanding the risks. Combine that with Moltbook, the new social platform where AI agents interact at scale, and you’ve got a volatile new frontier – one where scores of human-controlled agents bury prompt injections in plain sight and create attack surfaces no one has prepared for. In this episode of State of Cybercrime, Matt and David unpack why OpenClaw and Moltbook represent a watershed moment in AI adoption and how easily enthusiasm is outpacing security. They’re joined by Moriah Hara, three-time award-winning Fortune 500 CISO, who brings her seasoned perspective to our new segment: “Voices from the Frontlines.”

A Chinese state-sponsored group weaponized Anthropic’s Claude tool to launch the first large-scale AI-driven espionage campaign, targeting more than 30 organizations across tech, finance, manufacturing, and government.

This wasn’t an AI agent merely assisting hackers – it was autonomously performing reconnaissance, exploit development, and data exfiltration.

Join Matt and David on the next State of Cybercrime as they break down this game-changing leap for attackers. They will also dive into the latest Citrix and Cisco zero-day exploits and share critical updates on emerging AI regulations.

This month marked the discovery of one of the largest NPM compromises in history. Though AI-assisted social engineering, a profilic developer dubbed Qix was phished. His account was then maliciously used to publish poisoned packages, many of which were used to manipulate crypto transactions. Thankfully, it was detected before too many users downloaded these packages, but it highlights how vulnerable we can be if these upstream components get compromised. In this special State of Cybercrime episode, Matt and David break down this NPM compromise, and cover everything else new in the world of cybercrime.

One phone call was all it took for ShinyHunters to breach some of the world's biggest brands. By exploiting Salesforce to infiltrate Google, Cisco, and many others, this group has shown just how vulnerable organizations can be when well-known SaaS platforms become the attack vector. In this special State of Cybercrime episode, Matt and David break down how ShinyHunters pulled off one of the largest CRM–focused attacks of the year without exploiting a single software vulnerability.

After their hidden breach of the National Guard, the cybercrime group was discovered to have targeted a major telecommunications firm named Visat. After their hidden breach of the National Guard, the cybercrime group was found to have attacked a large telecommunications company called Visat. The interesting part—these attacks are not disruptive; Salt Typhoon merely gathers information, hoards credentials and finds vulnerabilities. Because of their stealthy nature, these attacks are only detected after the attackers have already left. To what aim remains to be seen. Matt and David dive into these attacks, and talk about what else is happening in the world of cybercrime.

In this episode, Matt and David explore a recently patched Copilot vulnerability that allowed attackers to craft emails that prompted Copilot to send sensitive information to an attacker's server. This prompt injection attack begs the question: What other vulnerabilities will AI bring to data? They also follow up with Scattered Spider & Dragonforce's continued assault on UK Retail and how their tactics are beginning to spread to insurance organizations.

Several high-profile UK retailers have suffered serious cyberattacks that have disrupted operations for weeks and, in some cases, exposed sensitive customer data. The social engineering techniques used in the attack align with the notorious Scattered Spider group, but a new ransomware group named Dragonforce has claimed responsibility. Matt and David delve into the details of these attacks, what we know about these cybercriminal groups, and whether they are affiliated. They also cover the Coinbase breach — a calculated, high-stakes extortion scheme where hackers bribed overseas contractors to steal sensitive user data and demand a $20 million ransom. Watch now!
