This week:

Larry’s in the host seat and chaos ensues. We dig into:

• A very questionable story about tracking a warship with a $5 Bluetooth tracker
• Serial-to-IP devices quietly sitting in critical infrastructure… and full of holes
• New York regulators mandating MFA and asset inventory—aka CIS Control #1 is now breaking news
• A ransomware negotiator who decided to double-dip (and landed in prison)
• “Brand new” hard drives that come preloaded… with someone else’s data
• The Vercel breach: no zero-day, just shadow IT, stolen tokens, and bad decisions
• AI-driven vulnerability discovery and the looming “vulnpocalypse”
• Quantum crypto debates: real threat or just another security boogeyman?
• Mirai is STILL alive—because apparently we still don’t patch routers
• And yes… Flipper Zero makes an appearance (no, you’re not hacking airplanes… calm down)

Then, we rebroadcast an interview from RSAC.

Breach Readiness for Measurable Risk Reduction in the Age of AI Cyber leaders no longer debate whether a breach will occur. What has changed is the speed and scale at which AI now enables those breaches. The real question is how far an attacker can move once inside. In this conversation, Rajesh Khazanchi explores why breach readiness, including AI-assisted containment, measurable blast radius reduction, and pervasive microsegmentation, has become mission-critical for business continuity in 2026.
