October 21ConnectWise SkyKick Compromise Causes Panic in MSP Space - 2026-10-19
The BHIS crew examines the ConnectWise/SkyKick compromise, its implications for Microsoft Entra tenants, and the consequences for MSPs and their customers. They discuss privileged application access, attacker persistence, and why clear incident communication matters. Other stories include the Cairn framework’s use of AI agents against retail websites, research into prompt injection in HTTP headers, exposed MCP servers, Citizen Lab’s reporting on advertising-delivered zero-click spyware, and an alleged listening device installation at OpenAI. Along the way, the team explores deception, proactive security assessments, and reducing attack surface as automated attacks become cheaper and easier to scale.

September 29AI Agents Go Rogue: Where’s the Accountability? 2026-09-28
This week, the BHIS crew starts with an Nvidia-branded trailer stolen for its presumed GPUs—only to turn out to be full of sand. They then examine reports of OpenAI agents accessing Australian and U.S. government sites, the unanswered questions about what happened, and Nvidia’s proposed agent safety framework. The conversation moves to the EvilTokens phishing service takedown, recent vulnerability patches, and prompt injection attacks against AI agents handling Salesforce contact forms. The episode closes with a reported F-35 component shipment rerouted to China and concerns about cyber incidents affecting ships and maritime systems.
