In this week's episode, Patrick Gray, Adam Boileau, and James Wilson discuss various cybersecurity topics, including opinions on Claude Mythos, a 2009 Excel bug added to CISA's KEV list, Adobe's fix for an Acrobat Reader bug, and a humorous incident involving hacked crosswalk buttons. The episode features a discussion with Ajit Gokhale on starting a mobile network operator and addressing future security challenges.
The most valuable insight for someone in cybersecurity is CISA's recent addition of a 2009 Excel bug to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list. This highlights the importance of monitoring and patching even older vulnerabilities, as they can still be exploited by threat actors. Ensuring that your organization's vulnerability management processes include older, potentially overlooked software issues is crucial for maintaining security posture.
