Ransomware Evolves, Zero-Days Exploited, and Microsoft Under Fire

In this episode, Mark and Diana discuss the latest wave of cybersecurity developments, from the emergence of HybridPetya ransomware that bypasses Secure Boot to Akira’s exploitation of a SonicWall flaw. They cover the critical Cursor editor vulnerability, CISA’s warning about active attacks on Dassault’s manufacturing software, and new patches from Cisco and Samsung. The conversation also explores Microsoft’s fresh security challenges—including political scrutiny and new Teams protections—alongside a major UK train operator breach, the appearance of a mysterious Chinese AI pentesting tool, and the growing cyber risks facing the pharmaceutical industry.
