Signal Check

This episode digs into three critical security vulnerabilities making waves: Atlassian's Rovo AI assistant can be tricked into leaking internal company data through clever prompts, a Canadian hacker pleads guilty to the massive Snowflake breach that hit hundreds of organizations using nothing but recycled passwords, and researchers expose an 18-year-old Linux kernel bug that breaks container isolation. Adrian North breaks down why the oldest attack methods still work and why the code we write today might haunt us decades later.
