    Inside The Vercel Supply Chain Exploit

    Inside the Vercel Breach: Highlighting OAuth Token Risk  In a special edition of Cybersecurity Today, host Jim Love and guest Jamie Blasco (CTO, Nudge Security) discuss Vercel, a major developer hosting platform, and a breach tied to OAuth grants and shadow AI. Reporting shared by Contrast Security's David Lindner describes how a Context AI employee downloaded Roblox AutoFarm scripts, got infected with an info stealer, and attackers harvested credentials, compromised Context AI, then used an over-permissioned OAuth token from a Vercel employee who had signed up to Context AI with an enterprise account and clicked "allow all," with Vercel working with Mandiant on a breach allegedly being sold for $2 million. The episode emphasizes that MFA may not mitigate OAuth abuse, urges admin-managed consent, continuous inventory and auditing of OAuth grants, and better visibility into risky third-party app access across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

    Vercel Breach Started With AI Tool

    Vercel Supply-Chain Breach via AI Tool, Meta Sued Over Scam Ads, and Ransomware Surges with "The Gentleman" David Shipley covers new details on the Vercel breach, which began when an employee used the third-party AI tool Context AI; after Context AI was breached, attackers leveraged Google OAuth access to pivot into Vercel systems and enumerate unencrypted "non-sensitive" environment variables that contained usable secrets, with a hacker claiming Vercel data and source code and demanding $2M, while Vercel says Next.js and other open-source projects are safe and shares Google OAuth indicators of compromise. The episode also discusses a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging Meta misled users about scam ads and profited from them, noting Meta's claim it removed 159M scam ads and shut down nearly 11M criminal accounts. Finally, it cites ZeroFox data showing ransomware incidents holding steady at 2,059 in Q1 2026 and highlights Check Point research indicating "The Gentleman" has a much larger victim footprint and uses tactics like disabling Defender, re-enabling SMB1, abusing GPO, and targeting VMware environments.

    Security Researcher Goes To War Against Microsoft

    Microsoft Under Fire, NIST Scales Back NVD, FortiSandbox Critical Bugs, Vercel Breach Claims, Scattered Spider Member Pleads Guilty Host David Shipley covers five major stories: researcher "Chaotic Eclipse" publicly released Windows exploits—first "Blue Hammer," then "Red Sun," a Microsoft Defender flaw enabling privilege escalation on fully patched Windows 10/11 and Server—amid claims Microsoft mistreated them, highlighting strain on responsible disclosure as vendors face mounting vulnerability volume and AI-driven bug discovery. NIST announced it can no longer fully enrich all CVEs in the National Vulnerability Database, prioritizing only exploited-in-the-wild issues, federal software, and critical software, leaving the rest backlogged. In "FortiWatch," two critical FortiSandbox flaws allow auth bypass and remote command execution; patches are available. Vercel confirmed attackers accessed internal systems and urges customers to review and rotate environment variables amid unverified ShinyHunters ransom claims. Finally, alleged Scattered Spider member Tyler Buchanan pled guilty to an $8M crypto theft case, with reporting describing the group's social engineering tactics and escalating real-world violence tied to cybercrime.

    Cybersecurity Today Month in Review of March/April 2026

    Cybersecurity Today Month-in-Review: RSAC AI Hype, Agentic Risks, Mythos Claims, and Real-World Resilience Jim Love hosts a delayed March month-in-review with panelists David Shipley and Laura Payne, starting with RSAC takeaways: agentic AI everywhere, heightened marketing spectacle, and industry tension as AI becomes the new "cool kid." They discuss the surge of autonomous agents, including OpenClaw-style experimentation leading to stolen tokens and the ease of social-engineering LLMs, plus legal and brand risks of chatbots after the Air Canada precedent. The panel debates Anthropic's source-code leak and "Mythos" messaging, while acknowledging AI tools are finding real zero-days amid massive technical debt and rising exploit speed, raising questions about liability and EU accountability. They highlight a positive case: Stryker Medical's rapid recovery after 80,000 devices were wiped via Intune settings, and note additional incidents targeting healthcare, critical infrastructure PLCs, supply-chain attacks, and longer-term impacts from major source-code thefts.

    Cisco Warns Webex Customers Of Critical SSO Problem

    WebEx SSO Vulnerability, booking.com Reservation Hijacking Risks, Windows Recall Scrutiny, and AI Vishing-as-a-Service Host Jim Love reports that Cisco disclosed a critical WebEx vulnerability (CVE-2026-2184) affecting SSO integration with Control Hub; although server-side fixes are applied and no exploitation is seen, SSO customers must update SAML certificate configuration to avoid disruption when the old certificate expires, amid recent Cisco firewall zero-day exploitation (CVE-2026-2131) tied to interlock ransomware. A booking.com breach exposed some customers' reservation data (names, contact and address details, reservation details, and messages) but not payment cards, increasing phishing "reservation hijacking" risk using real itinerary details. Researchers also highlight new concerns with Microsoft's Windows 11 Recall, where data may be intercepted after login via another process, though Microsoft says protections are intended. Finally, an underground $4,000 platform, ATHR, automates phishing/vishing with AI voice agents to steal verification codes and accounts across major services.

    North Korean Spies DM You On Facebook

    Android Mirax RAT, North Korea's Friend-Request Hacks, Adobe PDF Zero-Day, and FBI Phishing Takedown | Cybersecurity Today David Shipley covers multiple trust-based cyber threats: Mirax Android malware pushed via Meta ads posing as free streaming apps, functioning as a remote access trojan and turning infected phones into residential proxies, amid reports of widespread scam advertising on Meta platforms. Researchers link a North Korean APT37 campaign to Facebook friend requests that shift to Messenger and Telegram before delivering a tampered PDF viewer that installs Rock Rat and exfiltrates data via Zoho WorkDrive. Adobe issues an emergency patch for an Acrobat/Reader zero-day where opening a PDF can expose files, seen targeting oil and gas with Russian-language lures. The FBI and Indonesian authorities dismantle the Wall phishing marketplace designed to bypass MFA via session-cookie theft, as similar services quickly rebound. The FBI reports Americans lost nearly $21B to cybercrime in 2025, driven by investment and crypto fraud, with growing AI-enabled scams. 00:00 Headlines And Sponsor 00:57 Mirax Android Proxy Malware 02:47 Meta Scam Ad Machine 05:01 North Korea Friend Request Hack 07:44 Adobe Acrobat Zero Day Patch 10:11 FBI Wall Phishing Kit Takedown 12:28 Why Takedowns And MFA Fall Short 15:02 Cybercrime Losses Hit $21B 18:16 Wrap Up And Thanks 18:55 Meter Sponsor Message

Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale.  You can find them at Meter.com/cst Host David Shipley covers urgent meetings among U.S., Canadian, and U.K. financial leaders after Anthropic's Mythos announcement, with regulators and major banks assessing potential systemic risk; Mythos is described as capable of finding and chaining zero-days and is limited to a preview program (Project Glasswing) with select critical infrastructure and tech firms. The episode highlights how fast vulnerabilities are now exploited, citing a critical Marimo flaw patched in 0.2.3.0 that attackers probed within 9 hours and research showing AI can generate exploits from CVEs in 10–15 minutes. It then details "Venom," an invitation-only phishing-as-a-service targeting executives via QR codes to hijack sessions and register new devices, and Microsoft's warning about Storm-2755 redirecting Canadian paychecks by stealing M365 session cookies and altering direct-deposit details. Finally, Operation Atlantic is summarized: authorities identified 20,000 crypto-fraud victims, froze $12M, and linked $45M in stolen crypto tied to approval phishing. 00:00 Headlines and Sponsor 00:57 Mythos Shakes Finance 04:58 AI Exploit Window Collapses 08:11 Venom Targets Executives 11:54 Payroll Redirect Scam 14:35 Crypto Fraud Takedown 16:47 Wrap Up and Thanks 18:04 Sponsor Outro
