In this episode, the crew dives into reports that Palo Alto Networks allegedly avoided directly attributing a threat campaign to China over fears of retaliation—sparking a broader debate about corporate and government threat attribution, geopolitics, and whether attribution still matters in today’s cyber landscape.They also explore the escalating AI arms race, including Meta’s aggressive (and expensive) talent poaching, the growing rivalry between OpenAI and Anthropic, and what it all means for the future of the industry.Rounding out the episode, the team discusses the unintended consequences of the AI boom—like global hardware shortages stretching beyond GPUs to hard drives—and examines emerging prompt injection attack techniques, highlighting real-world examples and the growing security risks surrounding AI-powered tools.Join us LIVE on Mondays, 4:30pm EST.A weekly Podcast with BHIS and Friends.

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.
