    Cybersecurity Today Month in Review: World In Turmoil

    Cybersecurity Today Month in Review: Iran Conflict Cyber Spillover, IoT Cameras, AI Hacking Tools, and Resilience Planning In this weekend month-in-review episode, host Jim Love and panelists David Shipley, Laura Payne, Neil Bisson, and Chris "CJ" Johnson discuss cyber and infrastructure impacts tied to the US/Israel–Iran conflict, including reported compromise of traffic camera networks for targeting, Iran's defensive internet shutdown, propaganda via a hacked prayer app, and GPS/AIS spoofing that misdirected ships in the Strait of Hormuz, raising oil and helium supply-chain concerns. They warn of potential Iranian retaliation via DDoS, ransomware, and critical infrastructure attacks (especially water/OT), amplified by insecure IoT and camera vulnerabilities (e.g., Hikvision). The group critiques weakened government cyber capabilities (including CISA turmoil and CVE program risk), highlights AI-enabled attack automation (CyberStrike AI) shrinking time-to-exploit, and stresses practical resilience planning, including protecting AI API keys after an $82,000 billing incident and noting a law-enforcement takedown of LeakBase.

    Wikipedia Hit By JavaScript Worm, ICE Contractor Data Base Leaked and more...

    Wikipedia JavaScript Worm, ICE Contractor Data Leak Claim, and Leak Base Takedown Wikipedia admins contained a self-propagating JavaScript worm that spread via infected user script files, executing in logged-in editors' browsers and using authenticated sessions to copy itself into other scripts, sometimes affecting global scripts; administrators restricted edits, reverted and suppressed changes, replaced compromised scripts, and continue investigating the originating account.  A hacktivist group calling itself the Department of Peace claims it leaked records tied to DHS's Office of Industry Partnership involving 6,681 organizations that applied for ICE-related contracts, releasing the dataset via Distributed Denial of Secrets, while DHS has not confirmed the breach or data authenticity.  Finally, the FBI, Europol, and partners dismantled the Leak Base cybercrime forum, seized its database, conducted arrests and searches, and warned suspects through the forum's channels.

    Cybersecurity Today Weekend with Carey Frey, VP and Chief Security Officer at TELUS

    Identity, AI Agents, and the Session Token Time Bomb | Carey Frey (CSO, TELUS) on Cybersecurity Today In this Cybersecurity Today weekend edition, David Shipley interviews Carey Frey, Chief Security Officer at TELUS, about the evolution of identity security and why it's a growing risk in the age of generative and agentic AI. Frey recounts his career from Canada's Communications Security Establishment to leading TELUS's internal security and managed cybersecurity services, then explains how convenience-driven identity decisions led from PKI's unrealized promise to passwords, bearer/session tokens, and today's widespread session cookie theft. He describes lessons from TELUS's deployment of FIDO2 phishing-resistant tokens, the dangers of long-lived SSO tokens across SaaS ecosystems, and how agentic "auto-browse" could amplify harm via the "lethal trifecta" and ephemeral agents with poor auditability. Frey highlights the Syne/SignNet CISO Identity Handbook and calls for stronger cryptographic roots of trust, proof-based tokens, re-authentication across trust domains, and fine-grained delegation guardrails.

    Cisco SD-WAN Bug Actively Exploited

    Cisco SD-WAN Bug Actively Exploited, MCP Azure Takeover Demo, CarGurus Data Leak, and Secret Service Scam Recovery Host Jim Love covers four cybersecurity stories: CSA warns a critical Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN controller vulnerability (CVE-2026-20127) has been exploited since 2023, enabling authentication bypass and rogue peering sessions, and orders U.S. federal agencies to inventory systems, collect logs and forensic artifacts, hunt for compromise, and apply Cisco's fixes by 5:00 PM ET on February 27, 2026, with no workarounds. At RSA, researchers show how flaws in Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a key integration layer for agentic AI—could lead to remote code execution and even Azure tenant takeover, highlighting rising enterprise risk. ShinyHunters reportedly published 12.4 million stolen CarGurus records, raising phishing and fraud concerns tied to vehicle shopping and financing context. Finally, an Ontario tech support scam victim recovers funds through coordinated work by Ontario Provincial Police and the U.S. Secret Service, which traced and froze the money in time.

    Discord Finds Age Identification May Have Privacy Concerns

    Discord Drops Persona Age Verification, SolarWinds Serv-U Critical RCEs, Splunk Windows Priv Esc, and Smart TV Screenshot Surveillance Lawsuits In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host Jim Love covers Discord ending its age-verification experiment with Persona after user backlash and researcher findings that Persona's front-end code suggested up to 269 verification checks, including watch list screening and risk scoring, amid already-thin trust following an earlier breach that exposed government ID images. The show also highlights SolarWinds Serv-U 15.5.0.4 patches for four critical (CVSS 9.1) remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-40538, CVE-2025-40539, CVE-2025-40540, CVE-2025-40541), noting they require high privileges and that self-hosted Windows/Linux instances must be upgraded, with estimates ranging from under 1,200 to over 12,000 internet-exposed servers. Splunk discloses a high-severity Windows privilege escalation flaw (CVE-2025-2386, CVSS 8.0) caused by incorrect install-directory permissions in versions before 10.0.0.2, 9.4.0.6, 9.3.0.8, and 9.2.10, enabling local users to potentially escalate privileges and tamper with logging. Finally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sues Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense, and TCL, alleging smart TVs use automated content recognition to capture screen content—potentially up to twice per second—and transmit it without meaningful consent, with implications for both home viewing and confidential business use; the episode emphasizes reviewing and disabling ACR settings and accounting for network-connected screens in security models.  Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast.
