    Episode 297 - True/False Positives, Phishing Package Maintainers

    The Absolute AppSec duo returns with an in-depth episode talking about true and false positives, where context matters and business impact must be taken into account in order to avoid rabbit holes. This discussion spurred by a recent article from signalblur of magonia.io discussing alerts in a security operations center. In short, only considering existence of a flaw (or alert) is not enough by itself. True impact comes by understanding context. Anyone want t-shirts? A discussion of the recent successful phish of an npm package maintainer, resulting in exposure of millions of projects depending on popular npm packages. It happens, folks, protect yourself.

    Episode 290 - Authentication Fatigue, Browser AI Agents

    Ken returns after a week's hiatus to review the latest AppSec news with Seth. Specifically, the idea that authentication fatigue exists for both consumers and developers. The amount of choice to implement security controls can have unintended consequences and introduces risk that may or may not be considered. This is followed by research from SquareX that claims Browser AI Agents are riskier and easier to target than employees. This results in opinions on phishing and protections against consumer/business targeting by attackers.
