05-02-26 An AI Model Finds Thousands Of Hidden Zero-Day Flaws Before Criminals Do

Send us Fan MailA brand-new AI model goes hunting for hackers and what it finds is honestly unsettling: thousands of high-severity zero-day vulnerabilities, including flaws that sat unnoticed for decades. We talk through Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, why the partnerships matter, and how AI-powered cybersecurity could help patch the holes before bad actors get there first. If you’ve ever wondered how much unseen risk is baked into the software running your bank, your hospital, or your everyday devices, this conversation puts real examples to that fear.Then the mood shifts from “future tech” to “right now.” The Shiny Hunters ransomware and data extortion group is back in the headlines with claims involving major brands like Carnival, Amtrak, ADT, Zara, and more. We break down what these attacks look like, why cloud data and third-party platforms keep becoming the weak link, and how phishing emails still beat expensive security programs. Most importantly, we share concrete steps you can take if you think your information was exposed, including checking HaveIBeenPwned, changing passwords the right way, and when it makes sense to freeze credit.We also get into a surprisingly practical change coming from the European Union right to repair movement: by February 2027, smartphones sold in the EU must have user-replaceable batteries. We debate what that could mean for iPhone and Android design, durability, warranties, and e-waste recycling and why tech rules made in Europe often ripple into the United States.
