The episode highlights how fast vulnerabilities are now exploited, citing a critical Marimo flaw patched in 0.2.3.0 that attackers probed within 9 hours and research showing AI can generate exploits from CVEs in 10–15 minutes. It then details "Venom," an invitation-only phishing-as-a-service targeting executives via QR codes to hijack sessions and register new devices, and Microsoft's warning about Storm-2755 redirecting Canadian paychecks by stealing M365 session cookies and altering direct-deposit details.
