Today on Prime Cyber Insights, we break down the Crunchyroll data breach that exposed millions of user records through a third-party vendor compromise. We analyze how attackers exploited an Okta SSO account at Telus Digital to exfiltrate Zendesk support tickets. The episode also explores Google Mandiant’s latest M-Trends report, which identifies voice phishing as the top threat to cloud infrastructure and details the 'living on the edge' phenomenon where espionage groups maintain 400-day dwell times. Additionally, we examine a newly patched Microsoft Authenticator vulnerability found by researcher Khaled Mohamed and the significant legal consequences for a prominent Russian initial access broker. This is the practitioner's view on digital risk and supply chain resilience.
