Episode Details

NHS patients are only now being notified about a breach that happened two years ago. Hackers brute-forced Dashlane's two-factor authentication. The FBI has already spotted over 30 fake FIFA websites and yes, fifa.beer is one of them.

This week Ant and Luke cover why the two-year gap between the Synnovis ransomware attack and this week's notification letters is not unusual, and what it means for the people affected. Plus why the Dashlane breach is giving everyone LastPass flashbacks, and why your master password matters more than you might think.

Also this week: UK banks locked out of Anthropic's Claude Mythos while OpenAI steps in with GPT-5.5 Cyber, Mac malware that passed Apple's own notarization checks, a new MFA bypass platform sold on Telegram, and the NCSC's warning that AI is about to surface decades of hidden software vulnerabilities all at once.
