    Episode 2026-04-07

    This episode digs into NASA's Artemis II Moon mission — historic but more infrastructure test than breakthrough — then pivots to a brutal week in cybersecurity. From Anthropic's code leak and the FBI getting breached to North Korean crypto heists and supply chain attacks collapsing response times, Adrian unpacks how AI tools have turned developer machines into open credential vaults for attackers.

    This episode digs into LinkedIn's hidden surveillance of over 6,000 Chrome extensions, the failure of app store privacy labels to actually protect users, and Microsoft's hilarious legal disclaimer that Copilot is "for entertainment purposes only" despite selling it as a serious business tool. We're looking at the gap between what tech companies say they're doing and what's really happening behind the scenes. It's your morning Signal Check — coffee's hot, and the tech world's already showing its hand.

    Episode 2026-04-04

    This episode digs into a lightning-fast npm supply chain attack that shows how AI is collapsing human response time, explores a skull-vibration authentication system built into XR headsets that could verify you're still you without lifting a finger, and covers the North Carolina IT admin who methodically locked thousands of company devices with a password straight out of a cybercrime playbook. From accelerating threats to passive biometrics to insider extortion, it's a snapshot of security in motion.

Adrian North walks through why these aren't isolated incidents—they're signals of a rapidly shifting threat landscape where legacy systems, unpatched IoT devices, and personal security gaps are becoming critical vulnerabilities.
