Cybersecurity Today Month-in-Review: RSAC AI Hype, Agentic Risks, Mythos Claims, and Real-World Resilience

Jim Love hosts a delayed March month-in-review with panelists David Shipley and Laura Payne, starting with RSAC takeaways: agentic AI everywhere, heightened marketing spectacle, and industry tension as AI becomes the new "cool kid." They discuss the surge of autonomous agents, including OpenClaw-style experimentation leading to stolen tokens and the ease of social-engineering LLMs, plus legal and brand risks of chatbots after the Air Canada precedent. The panel debates Anthropic's source-code leak and "Mythos" messaging, while acknowledging AI tools are finding real zero-days amid massive technical debt and rising exploit speed, raising questions about liability and EU accountability. They highlight a positive case: Stryker Medical's rapid recovery after 80,000 devices were wiped via Intune settings, and note additional incidents targeting healthcare, critical infrastructure PLCs, supply-chain attacks, and longer-term impacts from major source-code thefts.

WebEx SSO Vulnerability, booking.com Reservation Hijacking Risks, Windows Recall Scrutiny, and AI Vishing-as-a-Service

Host Jim Love reports that Cisco disclosed a critical WebEx vulnerability (CVE-2026-2184) affecting SSO integration with Control Hub; although server-side fixes are applied and no exploitation is seen, SSO customers must update SAML certificate configuration to avoid disruption when the old certificate expires, amid recent Cisco firewall zero-day exploitation (CVE-2026-2131) tied to interlock ransomware. A booking.com breach exposed some customers' reservation data (names, contact and address details, reservation details, and messages) but not payment cards, increasing phishing "reservation hijacking" risk using real itinerary details. Researchers also highlight new concerns with Microsoft's Windows 11 Recall, where data may be intercepted after login via another process, though Microsoft says protections are intended. Finally, an underground $4,000 platform, ATHR, automates phishing/vishing with AI voice agents to steal verification codes and accounts across major services.

Android Mirax RAT, North Korea's Friend-Request Hacks, Adobe PDF Zero-Day, and FBI Phishing Takedown | Cybersecurity Today

David Shipley covers multiple trust-based cyber threats: Mirax Android malware pushed via Meta ads posing as free streaming apps, functioning as a remote access trojan and turning infected phones into residential proxies, amid reports of widespread scam advertising on Meta platforms. Researchers link a North Korean APT37 campaign to Facebook friend requests that shift to Messenger and Telegram before delivering a tampered PDF viewer that installs Rock Rat and exfiltrates data via Zoho WorkDrive. Adobe issues an emergency patch for an Acrobat/Reader zero-day where opening a PDF can expose files, seen targeting oil and gas with Russian-language lures. The FBI and Indonesian authorities dismantle the Wall phishing marketplace designed to bypass MFA via session-cookie theft, as similar services quickly rebound. The FBI reports Americans lost nearly $21B to cybercrime in 2025, driven by investment and crypto fraud, with growing AI-enabled scams.
