This episode covers a coordinated supply chain attack on PHP's Packagist repository, mass exploitation of a critical Ghost CMS vulnerability turning websites into malware traps, and the ironic exposure of AWS GovCloud credentials by a CISA contractor's public GitHub repo. Adrian breaks down how attackers are poisoning dependencies upstream, automating large-scale injections, and why even the agencies protecting federal networks aren't immune to basic security mistakes.

This episode covers critical vulnerabilities in Gogs and Palo Alto's GlobalProtect VPN that are already being actively exploited, plus the takedown of a massive 17 million device botnet in the Netherlands.

It's a Monday morning packed with urgent patches and unsettling new tactics.
