This episode of Prime Cyber Insights examines a massive week for international law enforcement, headlined by the dismantling of the Tycoon 2FA phishing-as-a-service platform and the seizure of the LeakBase credentials forum. Aaron Cole and Lauren Mitchell break down the mechanics of these operations, including how Tycoon 2FA facilitated over 64,000 attacks by bypassing multi-factor authentication. We also explore the rapid weaponization of agentic AI by threat actors and why Google’s latest Android update is a critical priority for enterprise fleet management. From credential harvesting to quantum-resistant encryption, we connect today's headlines to the technical controls practitioners need to maintain digital resilience.
