    Episode 220: November 07, 2026

    This episode digs into how your phone constantly broadcasts two key identifiers that can be intercepted by anyone with the right equipment, GitHub's new problem with fake security tools targeting the researchers who should know better, and OpenAI's GPT-6 Cyber discovering nearly a thousand Linux kernel bugs complete with working exploits. Adrian breaks down what it means when AI starts finding vulnerabilities faster than humans can patch them.
