Attackers Don’t Need to Breach Your API -They’ll Breach the Tools That Touch It
The API supply chain is the new security blind spot. Attackers no longer need to breach your APIs directly; they can target the third-party services that connect to them. These unmanaged dependencies are now the shortest path to your sensitive data. The recent Mixpanel incident is a stark reminder of that fact. What Happened During…

When your AI Assistant Becomes the Attacker’s Command-and-Control
Earlier this month, Microsoft uncovered SesameOp, a new backdoor malware that abuses the OpenAI Assistants API as a covert command-and-control (C2) channel. The discovery has drawn significant attention within the cybersecurity community. Security teams can no longer focus solely on endpoint malware. Attackers are weaponizing public and legitimate AI assistant APIs and defenders must adjust.…

We’re sorry. Wait, did a company actually say that?
Stop the press – a company has actually said “sorry” after a data breach, and hotels are helping hackers phish their own guests. In episode 444 of “Smashing Security” we examine a refreshingly honest breach response (and why legacy systems are still going to ruin your week), dig into a nasty hotel-booking malware campaign that…

Lights! Camera! Hacktion!
When “bad actors” stop being hackers and start being… actual actors. This week, Graham and special guest Jenny Radcliffe play “Hacker or Ham?” (yes, Steven Seagal, we’re looking at you), before diving into a campaign which saw an Iranian gang luring Israeli performers with fake casting calls for a serious film. We unpack why positive…

How hackers turned AI into their new henchman
Your AI reads the small print, and that’s a problem. This week in episode 433 of “Smashing Security” we dig into LegalPwn – malicious instructions tucked into code comments and disclaimers that sweet-talks AI into rubber-stamping dangerous payloads (or even pretending they’re a harmless calculator). Meanwhile, new research from Anthropic reveals that hackers have already…
