About this Episode

(Presented by Thinkst Canary: Most Companies find out way too late that they’ve been breached. Thinkst Canary changes this. Deploy Canaries and Canarytokens in minutes and then forget about them. Attackers tip their hand by touching ’em giving you the one alert, when it matters. With zero admin overhead and almost no false-positives, Canaries are deployed (and loved) on all 7 continents.)

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 88: We unpack the fallout from public documentation of the Coruna iOS exploit kit, the likely connection to the Peter Williams/Trenchant exploit sale to Russians, how it slipped from government hands into criminal use, and the widening use of zero-days by surveillance vendors and cybercriminals.

Plus, fresh signs of cyber-warfare activity tied to Iran and Israel, the FBI’s disclosure of a breach affecting internal surveillance systems, and the latest debate over AI, security tooling, and Anthropic’s public stumbles.

Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
