🧦 SOC Summit 2026
https://www.antisyphontraining.com/event/soc-summit/

Live from Wild West Hackin’ Fest Denver 2026, the Black Hills Information Security crew brings their signature mix of sharp security insight and off-the-cuff banter to a packed in-person audience.

This episode centers on a controversial Notepad update that introduced Markdown rendering—along with a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue. The hosts unpack what this says about modern software bloat, “vibe coding,” and the growing push to embed AI into everything—whether it belongs there or not. They also explore the implications of Discord's Age verification requirements, AI-generated code, including OpenAI’s latest Codex model, and debate whether we’re headed toward a wave of AI-assisted vulnerabilities.

Join us LIVE on Mondays, 4:30pm EST.
A weekly Podcast with BHIS and Friends. We discuss notable Infosec, and infosec-adjacent news stories gathered by our community news team.
