Behind the friendly face.

There have been several recent cybersecurity incidents, including an autonomous AI-powered breach reported by Hugging Face and a client data breach disclosed by Ernst & Young. Attackers are also actively exploiting a critical ServiceNow flaw, which is a significant concern for companies using this platform. Ransomware gangs are changing their tactics against law firms, making it essential for these organizations to stay vigilant. In an effort to combat these threats, Capital One has open-sourced an AI security tool called VulnHunter. However, AI email filters are being fooled by a technique called text salting, which allows spam to bypass security measures. Additionally, hidden gambling apps have been found in Apple's App Store, and a Florida man has been arrested for spreading malware through video games. The CyberWire Daily podcast discusses these topics and more, including election integrity with guest Tim Starks from CyberScoop. The podcast also covers other cybersecurity news, such as the emergence of an Israeli identity management startup called Oak, which has received $60 million in seed funding. The show provides a daily intelligence roundup and can be followed on LinkedIn, and listeners are encouraged to share their feedback and participate in a brief listener survey. The CyberWire is a production of N2K Networks, providing strategic workforce intelligence and helping companies reach influential leaders in the cybersecurity community.
