  • Great help!

    Really enjoyed the top ten interviewer and seeing a little more of the personal side of Dave. How about adding quarterly and yearly top tens.

    Please do more of the CyberWire-X episodes. It is good to hear about an exploit, but it is great for us cyber professional to get all the details, so we can understand if we could prevent the exploit. Thanks,

  • 30 Minute Advertisement

    There’s an add then about 5 minutes of content where the host reads headlines without really talking about the story. And then a sponsored interview that takes up most of the episode and some more adds.

    No value to the listener. Just a lot of being advertised to.

  • Great Content

    I like the content (and the music mixing) but the host has one of the most AI-generated-sounding voices and enunciation that I have ever heard. It’s not unpleasant, though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The feds flip the script.
Q: Before we get into the specifics, what made you decide to take on this topic?
Stephen explains that the topic is timely given ongoing alerts about critical infrastructure and data-center exposure, and that it builds on a long-running focus on exposed control systems. The goal is to raise awareness and provide practical steps for defenders.
Who let the AI hack? [Research Saturday]
Q: Mike, can you walk us through exactly what this framework was doing under the hood, and what would I see in the kill chain?
The framework followed a typical kill chain: first reconnaissance using NMAP results, then prompting the LLM with normalized data to identify known vulnerabilities, followed by web reconnaissance, building proof-of-concepts, and eventually exploiting credentials to escalate privileges—while the processing and decision-making occurred on stolen compute resources rather than the attacker's own hardware.
The guest nobody invited.
Q: What is the long-term goal for consumer cybersecurity tools?
The aim is to move from reactive detection to proactive prevention, helping households stay ahead of evolving scams while maintaining user privacy and device performance.
The guest nobody invited.
Q: How do Scamwise and Savi work on mobile devices without compromising privacy?
Scamwise provides a text and content analysis service without collecting user-identifying data, while Savi applies algorithms to messages and calls to prioritize legitimate communications without exposing the user's personal content.
The guest nobody invited.
Q: What inspired the creation of Scamwise and Savi?
Patrick describes a personal origin story involving a grandparent-style scam targeting his family, which led him to research and build consumer-focused tools that can quickly assess scam content and proactively filter malicious messages.
