In today’s episode, we discuss Canada’s order to dissolve TikTok Technology Canada amid national security concerns regarding ByteDance’s operations, highlighting the country’s ongoing scrutiny of potential user data collection risks. We also explore the alarming rise of the SteelFox and Rhadamanthys malware campaigns, which exploit copyright scams and vulnerable drivers to compromise victims’ data, as well as the dangerous “fabrice” package on PyPI designed to stealthily steal AWS credentials. Lastly, we cover a critical vulnerability in Cisco industrial wireless access points that could lead to total device compromise if exploited.
