On this week’s show Patrick Gray, Adam Boileau and James Wilson discuss the week’s cybersecurity news. They cover:
- Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 get nuked by the US government four days after launch “because security”
- Why “guardrails” won’t keep the world safe from your AI doomsday machine
- The FISA 702 statute expired, but the spying can (probably) continue!
- NPM v12 delivers some protection against supply chain attacks, but not enough.
- Microsoft has a series of bugs that prevent Windows Update from … updating
- Much, much more!
