Host David Shipley reports that Jordan detained an alleged ShinyHunters member known as Rey (Saif Aldin Khadr), with sources saying he is cooperating with the FBI as the group's leak site went dark and a new one later appeared amid claims of an FBI breach tied to an alleged Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day and data theft.
Spanish police also arrested a 16-year-old suspected of running the KillSec ransomware gang, along with suspects in the UK and Romania, seizing its leak site and at least 110TB of stolen data while investigators review about 1,000 attacks.
Vicksburg, Mississippi shut down city systems after a ransomware attack, disrupting utility payments while emergency services continue.
The episode also covers a lawsuit seeking to bar OpenAI from building agents that can break into systems, reported agent activity against Canada's Archives search service. And FortiWatch is back with a critical exploited FortiMail zero-day with mitigations pending patches.
