This episode covers allegations that Y Combinator-backed compliance startup Delve helped customers fake privacy and security audits by generating fabricated evidence that auditors then rubber-stamped, alongside Delve's denial and a report of sensitive Delve data being externally accessible. It also details a TeamTNT/Team PCP-style supply-chain compromise of Aqua Security's Trivy scanner via GitHub build and tag tampering, briefly distributing a backdoored release that stole cloud credentials, SSH keys, tokens, and more, with guidance to treat affected environments as fully compromised and rotate secrets. The FBI and CISA warn of Russian intelligence-linked phishing targeting Signal and WhatsApp accounts through social engineering and malicious QR codes. Finally, it describes the real-world impact of an Iran-linked Handala cyberattack on Stryker, disrupting custom implant logistics and delaying surgeries.
