Notes de l’épisode
Gabriel Custodiet and UrbanHacker dissect the worst crypto security season on record: the ~$100 million Coldcard seed flaw, Ledger supply-chain implants via CryptoBilis, Trezor and Foundation data breaches, the $320 million Liquid sidechain exploit, BTCPay Server's vulnerability flood, and the $6.34 billion Binance heist attributed to North Korea's TraderTraitor. They trace the common thread—AI-powered bug hunting now hitting every codebase—and follow it from the PHP2Shell panic that forced their own site offline to hacked supermarket freezers across Europe. The verdict: hardware wallets are now a liability, aggressive patching is mandatory, and Bitcoin itself may be the only software still standing. Your stack probably isn't.

Notes de l’épisode
Gabriel Custodiet speaks with the admin of Silent Link, a privacy-first mobile service that operates entirely without KYC. The admin explains how foreign eSIMs keep you in permanent roaming mode, making it significantly harder for local carriers and adversaries to track your location or intercept your communications. They discuss the surveillance risks of traditional phone service—from SIM toolkit attacks to voice fingerprinting—and why paying in Bitcoin, Lightning, or Monero is crucial for severing identity and phone number. The admin also addresses the service's limitations: no outgoing calls or texts, the impossibility of true phone number ownership, and why this is still a massive improvement over anything Verizon or AT&T will ever offer you.
