Former FBI Special Agent Chris Tarbell and ex-Anonymous/LulzSec blackhat hacker Hector Monsegur (aka Sabu) faced off as adversaries in cyberspace before becoming close friends and podcast co-hosts. Listen to Tarbell, co-founder of the elite cybersecurity firm NAXO, and Monsegur, a top network penetration tester and security engineer, break down the must-know cybersecurity news and topics of the week. You’ll walk away from each episode with unique perspectives on keeping your family, your company, and yourself safe from cyber attacks.
The iPhone Hack That Survives a Reboot
Chris and Hector dig into a reported iPhone jailbreak that researchers say survives reboots and updates, residential proxy traffic spotted on the White House network, and an attack that reprogrammed the freezers holding plasma for France’s national blood service. They also cover Claude Code including users’ email addresses in requests to websites, a long-hidden OpenSSH bug affecting Alpine Linux devices, and new details on how attackers got into Binance through an infostealer and fake job interviews. Plus, why your TV’s power button probably isn’t turning it off.
