They also discuss how China’s cyber operators are turning the dial up to 11. Faster, noisier, and stealthier all at the same time, depending upon which particular threat actor you look at.

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about North Korea’s hack of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. Binance’s founder CZ says it is a wake up call for real banks, but he’s wrong. Even though they are probably just as hackable as crypto exchanges, real banks cooperate to reverse fraudulent transactions and it is far harder to get away with billions.
They also discuss the pressure being felt in tech firms everywhere to speed up software development using AI. From a security perspective, results will be mixed.

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about new research that shows that Chinese open-weight AI models can be reeducated to remove pro-CCP bias. Good news for American businesses that want cheap AI, but we suspect that many knives will still be out for Chinese open-weight models.
They also discuss the near-misses from the PHP and Brotli bugs. We collectively dodged the bullet so that we only got grazed, but the good luck won’t last forever.
Finally, Tom looked at CISA’s 2030 strategy. Amazingly, it doesn’t really mention AI at all. Bizarre!
