6 mins

Episode Description

Anthropic has unveiled Mythos Preview, a general-purpose language model with a 'striking' capability to autonomously chain vulnerabilities for zero-day exploits across every major web browser and operating system. To manage the defensive fallout, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, an urgent partnership with giants like AWS and Microsoft. This episode breaks down the operational impact of the Smart Slider 3 Pro supply chain attack, which planted backdoors in more than 800,000 websites on April 7th, and the FleetWave outage currently disrupting transportation logistics. We also explore Microsoft's discovery of Storm-2755's targeted payroll hijackings in Canada and Google's deployment of hardware-bound session credentials in Chrome to combat increasingly sophisticated infostealer malware.
