Cyber Security Today

AI-Accelerated FortiGate Breaches, Amazon Kiro Prod Disruption, Claude Code Security, Salt Typhoon Warning, and Youth Radicalization Risks Episode of Cybersecurity Today (hosted by David Shipley) covering: a Russian-speaking hacker using AI-written automation tools to breach 600+ Fortinet FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries by exploiting weak passwords and exposed management interfaces without MFA, with advice to lock down edge management access, enforce MFA, and strengthen password policies; an Amazon Kiro AI coding tool incident tied to a misconfigured role that allegedly deleted and recreated a production environment, causing a 13-hour disruption to AWS Cost Explorer services in one of two mainland China regions, prompting warnings about giving AI agents access to production and the need for guardrails and review processes; Anthropic's Claude Code Security launch, an AI-driven code vulnerability analysis feature that maps code interactions and data flows, provides severity and confidence scoring, keeps

Jim Love discusses how rapid adoption of agentic AI is repeating the industry pattern of shipping technology without security, citing issues like vulnerabilities in Anthropic's MCP and insecure open-source agent tools. He interviews Ido Shlomo, co-founder and CTO of Token Security, who argues AI agents are fundamentally hard to secure because they are non-deterministic, have infinite input/output space, and often require broad permissions to be useful.  Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast.

Info Stealers Target OpenClaw, a Robot Vacuum API Flaw Exposes Thousands, Best Buy Fraud Shows Zero Trust Context, and Canada Goose Data Leaked via Supplier The episode covers multiple security incidents and lessons. Hudson Rock details how an info stealer malware infection can vacuum OpenClaw data, including authentication tokens, master keys, device private cryptographic keys, and the agent-defining soul.md file that can reveal a "mirror" of a user's life; the attack was not targeted, raising concerns about upcoming dedicated OpenClaw-stealing modules. A hobbyist coder using an AI coding tool to reverse-engineer DJI Romo communications unintentionally accessed roughly 7,000 robot vacuums in 24 countries, enabling live camera and microphone access and floor-plan generation due to missing messaging-level access controls; DJI also shares infrastructure with portable home battery stations and initially claimed the flaw was fixed before a live demonstration showed it was not. Two Best Buy cases illustrate that Z

This episode covers multiple active threats and security changes. It warns of an actively exploited critical BeyondTrust remote access vulnerability (CVE-2026-1731, CVSS 9.9) enabling pre-authentication remote code execution in Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access, noting SaaS was patched while on-prem deployments require urgent manual updates and may already be compromised. Microsoft details an evolution of the ClickFix social engineering technique where victims are tricked into running NSLookup commands that use attacker-controlled DNS responses as a malware staging channel, leading to payload delivery (including a Python-based RAT) and persistence via startup shortcuts, alongside increased Lumma Stealer activity.  Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast.
