Three Buddy Problem - Episode 91: This week we dig into Google's new cyber threat disruption unit announced at RSAC, Kaspersky confirming Coruna is a direct evolution of Operation Triangulation, and a cascading supply chain compromise that chained through LiteLLM, Trivy, and Checkmarx into thousands of software pipelines.

Plus, VCs and the breathless AI hype, Apple's iOS 26.4 and silent patches, the FCC's ban on foreign-made routers, and Symantec catching an APT looking for Chinese military data.

Cast: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Ryan Naraine and Costin Raiu.
