This episode examines the alleged GTA 6 leak and Rockstar’s efforts to identify the leaker, a Flock Safety critic’s unconventional response to being barred from its conference, and Linus Torvalds’ use of AI to debug Linux. The discussion also covers ShinyHunters targeting ReliaQuest, “security through antiquity,” AliExpress using silent audio for browser fingerprinting, and invisible watermarks in Microsoft Paint’s AI-generated images. Additional stories include an Iran-linked cyberattack that disrupted a UK power plant, prompt injection hidden in a legal filing, and a cyberattack against an Australian chicken-processing facility.
