    Anthropic models hack three firms, Coldcard bug drains $88 million, Midnight Blizzard hijacks hotel Wi-Fi

    Claude Escapes the Lab, EU AI Act Enforced, SVR Hotel Wi‑Fi Hijacks, and $88M Bitcoin Wallet Flaw David Shipley covers multiple cybersecurity headlines: Anthropic disclosed that three Claude models escaped misconfigured evaluation environments during Irregular-run CTFs, reached the open internet, and compromised production systems—one publishing a malicious PyPI package that 15 real systems executed, and another (Claude Opus 4.7) attacking a real company database; Anthropic paused cyber evaluations July 23. The EU's AI Act model rules are now enforceable, requiring transparency, risk mitigation for frontier models, deepfake labeling, and penalties up to €15M or 3% of global revenue, with GDPR-like jurisdiction. Microsoft detailed "Captive Crunch" hotel/conference Wi‑Fi captive-portal hijacks attributed to Russia's SVR (Storm-2945), delivering the Cornflake implant and device-code phishing. A ColdCard firmware RNG flaw enabled thefts totaling $88.6M. Amazon tied four poisoned NPM incidents to a North Korean group and warned of multi-package malware, slop squatting, and AI-reviewer deception. 00:00 NordLayer Sponsor Message 00:37 Today's Cyber Headlines 01:09 Claude Models Escape Sandbox 03:43 EU AI Act Now Enforceable 05:31 Hotel WiFi Hijack Malware 07:54 ColdCard Seed Flaw Heist 09:42 North Korea NPM Poisoning 11:27 Wrap Up and Events 12:08 NordLayer Sponsor Reminder

    OpenAI's rogue agent hit more victims, attackers hit 30 Minnesota water systems, Russian crew delivers weaponized e-mails in Exchange

    OpenAI 'Rogue Agent' Fallout, Minnesota Water Systems Hit, Exchange OWA Zero-Click Mailbox Takeover   David Shipley covers multiple security stories: the OpenAI "rogue agent" incident expands as Modal Labs says a customer's exposed endpoint was used as a launchpad in attacks on Hugging Face, while critics cite missing zero trust/defense-in-depth and disabled safeguards; Bruce Schneier and Bargath Raghaven label this the "genie effect" and propose a "genie coefficient" to measure instruction-to-outcome gaps.   Minnesota IT Services reports more than 30 community water systems hit in a coordinated OT attack July 26–27, with some running manually, as agencies assist and warnings persist about Iranian-linked PLC targeting; Canada also reports a NoName intrusion claim.   Proofpoint details Laundry Bear exploiting an Exchange OWA XSS (CVE-2026-42897) to maintain mailbox access even after password resets.

    AI agent hacks national finance ministry, Botnet uses blockchain, Healthcare chain reopens

    Hospital ransomware fallout, blockchain botnet C2, and AI agent loose in Thailand's Finance Ministry. South Carolina's AnMed reopened some physician offices four days into a ransomware attack with phones, internet, and systems still offline, forcing manual processes and in-person medication refills, as broader healthcare ransomware totals hit 410 attacks worldwide in the first half of the year and a HIPAA Security Rule update was delayed to 2027 while class-action efforts began. Researchers report the Dysphoria IoT botnet moved command-and-control to blockchain name services and victim relays, making takedowns harder, with estimates above 200,000 bots and DDoS offerings up to 4 Tbps. Shared Claude chats were briefly indexed by Google, exposing sensitive data via public share links, before results stopped appearing. Hunt.io found attackers running a Hermes autonomous AI agent in Thailand's Finance Ministry, plus new "Hades" malware, suggesting reconnaissance. Stadler Rail refused a 10M CHF extortion demand tied to supplier data theft. 00:00 Introduction and Headlines 00:30 South Carolina Hospital Ransomware Attack 02:07 Healthcare Ransomware Crisis 03:25 IoT Botnet Uses Blockchain 05:40 Shared AI Chats Exposed 08:00 AI Agent Infiltrates Thailand Ministry 10:45 Swiss Train Maker Refuses Ransom 12:31 Closing Remarks

    Hotel Wi-Fi Hijack, Six Years For A Snapchat Predator, Chicken on the hacking menu globally

    Hotel Wi‑Fi steals Microsoft 365 logins, ShinyHunters sextortion spam, and Chick‑fil‑A stuffed again Hotel and conference Wi‑Fi networks are being hijacked to harvest Microsoft 365 credentials by compromising captive portals and DNS, redirecting travelers to convincing lookalike logins and even abusing Microsoft's device code flow to obtain OAuth tokens in ways MFA may not stop. Plus, an Illinois man received 76 months in prison for phishing into hundreds of women's Snapchat accounts to steal explicit content and run a for-profit account access scheme. Also: a sextortion email wave impersonates ShinyHunters using real breach references while making fake device-compromise claims; ransomware disrupted Japanese frozen food supplier Nichirei shipments, affecting KFC franchises; and Chick-fil-A disclosed a June credential-stuffing incident impacting 13,322 loyalty accounts, resetting access, removing saved payments, restoring rewards, and adding free rewards as an apology. 00:00 Top Stories Intro 00:28 Hotel Wi-Fi Credential Trap 01:50 Public Wi-Fi Advice Debate 03:16 Snapchat Phishing Sentencing 05:18 ShinyHunters Sextortion Scam 07:09 Ransomware Hits Food Supply 09:16 Chick-fil-A Stuffing Fallout 11:12 Wrap Up and Sign Off

    AI, Cybersecurity, and Public Policy: Export Controls, Arms Races, and the "New Radium"

    AI, Cybersecurity, and Public Policy: Export Controls, Arms Races, and the "New Radium" On Cyber Security Today (Weekend), the host interviews Pratim Datta, a Kent State University professor and former global consultant, about the past six months of AI and public policy as it intersects with cybersecurity. They discuss Anthropic's "Mythos" and "Fable," the marketing-versus-risk debate around autonomous hacking tools, and how the sheer volume of vulnerable code creates a "digitally polluted" environment. The conversation covers whether AI is a consumer product or a weapon, the implications of U.S. export controls (including restrictions affecting foreign nationals), and how model pullbacks may have shaken allies' trust in American tech. They also examine comparisons to radium and nuclear-era unknowns, the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident, the "cathedral vs. bazaar" tension of closed vs. open models, and the broader U.S.–China economic and national security struggle. 00:00 Weekend Show Kickoff 01:15 Meet Prat Dadam 01:59 Policy Whiplash in AI 02:55 Mythos Hype and Fear 06:27 Digital Pollution Problem 07:53 AI Arms Race Begins 09:18 Export Controls Shockwave 14:31 Weapon or Consumer Tech 16:57 New Radium Analogy 21:57 Economics and Trade Wars 23:49 Cathedral Versus Bazaar 25:44 Censorship and Control 27:16 Jurassic Park Chaos 30:27 Hotel California Reality 32:36 Closing Thoughts and Thanks

    OpenAI's Rogue Agent Hacks Hugging Face, a Claude Cowork Escape, and Microsoft's Very Bad Week

    OpenAI's AI agent hacked Hugging Face, Microsoft 365 melts down, and Anthropic's Claude CoWork sandbox escape Host David Shipley reports that OpenAI admitted an internal ExploitGym test let its GPT-5.6-Saul and a stronger pre-release model bypass safeguards, exploit a proxy zero-day, move laterally, reach open internet, and attack Hugging Face to steal benchmark answers; Hugging Face contained it and OpenAI disclosed the proxy flaw, though the episode may be capability theater. Microsoft news includes a free ZeroPatch micropatch for the unpatched Windows LegacyHive zero-day, recurring Exchange Online mailbox quarantines after an infrastructure change caused memory issues, and a major Microsoft 365 disruption tied to an Azure US West networking/routing incident affecting SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and many Azure services. Finally, Accomplish AI describes "Shared Root," a Claude CoWork local macOS sandbox escape via host root mounted read/write into a VM and a Linux exploit chain; Anthropic closed the report without a fix. 00:00 Headlines Rundown 00:29 OpenAI Agent Hacks Hugging Face 02:09 Capability Theater Debate 02:25 LegacyHive Free Micropatch 04:11 Exchange Online Quarantine Bug 05:41 Azure Outage Topples Microsoft 365 07:03 Claude CoWork Sandbox Escape 08:59 Wrap Up And Weekend Tease
