Your Coffee Maker Might Be Spying on You
Chris and Hector discuss a smart coffee maker that generated nearly a terabyte of network traffic in just ten days, a lone hacker who reportedly used AI tools to breach South Korean financial institutions, and the latest arrests connected to Shiny Hunters. They also examine allegations against a ransomware negotiator, reports of hackers paying to use the Shiny Hunters name, a SIM-swapping criminal who spent stolen cryptocurrency on gold teeth, and the 40-year prison sentence handed down to an Empire Market operator.
