In this episode, Mark and Diana discuss the latest wave of global cybersecurity developments, including how APT36 is abusing Linux .desktop files to target Indian government and defense, Apple’s urgent zero-day patch for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and China-linked Murky Panda’s ongoing espionage campaigns. They also examine how cybercriminals are abusing VPS services and trusted websites through TDS, Europol’s response to false ransomware bounty claims, and Interpol’s massive “Operation Storm Makers II.” The conversation dives into healthcare’s continued struggles with ransomware following breaches at DaVita and CPAP device providers, CISA’s updated SBOM guidance, and a new Acronis report naming India as the global leader in malware attacks. Finally, Mark and Diana highlight Microsoft’s AI-driven malware detection tool and explore a proposed identity maturity model designed to strengthen fraud prevention in healthcare.

APT Campaigns, Apple Zero-Day, Healthcare Breaches, and AI in Defense

They're here to steal your passwords and sing about it in perfect harmony! 🎤 Meet... THE CREDENTIAL CARTEL Villains!
You've NEVER heard a cybersecurity lesson like this before. The 8th track in Russell Nomer's MITRE ATT&CK series takes a sharp turn into the absurd with a bombastic, Broadway-style villain anthem!
"The Credential Cartel" assembles a hilarious supergroup of spy-movie stereotypes who have teamed up to hack the USA. It's a show tune about Brute Force, Network Sniffing, and Pass the Hash. It's educational. It's ridiculous. It's the most over-the-top song about Credential Access ever written.
If this made you laugh, smash that ❤️ LIKE, 🔃 REPOST to assemble your own crew, and let us know in the COMMENTS: Who was your favorite villain in the song?

The Credential Cartel

You’re tuning into "AI with Shaily," hosted by Shailendra Kumar, a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide through the fascinating and sometimes intimidating realm of Artificial Intelligence 🤖✨. In this episode, Shailendra dives deep into a crucial and timely question: How can we ensure that when Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) arrives — a form of AI capable of thinking and learning as broadly as humans or even beyond — it does not become an existential threat to humanity? 🌍⚠️

He highlights the dual nature of AGI’s potential: on one hand, it could revolutionize the world by solving major problems like world hunger and curing diseases 🍽️💉; on the other, if mismanaged, it could pose significant risks. This topic is currently sparking intense discussions on social media and among researchers alike.

Shailendra explains that experts are focusing heavily on AI safety and what’s known as the “control problem” — essentially how to keep a super-intelligent AI aligned with human values, much like training a highly intelligent puppy 🐶🧠. This involves creating safeguards, fail-safes, and specialized architectures to ensure AGI behaves in friendly and predictable ways.

However, he stresses that technical solutions alone won’t be enough. There’s a growing call for a global governance framework, potentially a UN-backed “Benevolent AGI Treaty” 🌐🕊️, aimed at preventing an AGI arms race or monopolistic control, and making sure its benefits are shared fairly across all of humanity, not just a privileged few.

Leading AI organizations like DeepMind are prioritizing early detection of dangerous AI capabilities, transparency in mitigating risks, and swift action to address emerging issues 🚨🔍. Meanwhile, groups such as the Alignment Research Center and the Future of Life Institute are connecting brilliant minds to collaboratively develop safety and ethical guidelines — likened to a relay race where the baton is safety passed along with care 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️.

Cybersecurity is another critical aspect Shailendra touches on. AGI could enable unprecedented cyberattacks, so strengthening digital defenses against hackers and hostile actors is becoming a top national security priority 🔐🛡️.

He also shares some more radical, sci-fi sounding ideas being discussed, like human cognitive enhancement through neural linking to keep pace with AGI, or “boxing in” early AGI systems to restrict their capabilities until they are proven safe 🧠🔗🚀.

A memorable analogy Shailendra recalls is from a colleague who compared developing safe AGI to assembling a spaceship while already in orbit — emphasizing that there’s no room for error 🚀⚙️. This underscores the necessity of combining technical rigor with international collaboration for survival.

For listeners inspired to engage with this field, Shailendra recommends pursuing multidisciplinary education that blends AI, ethics, policy, and cybersecurity knowledge — a powerful toolkit for navigating the AGI era safely 🎓📚.

He closes with a thoughtful quote from Alan Turing: “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” This perfectly captures the ongoing challenge of AGI safety.

Shailendra invites his audience to follow him on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium for regular AI insights and encourages sharing thoughts and questions in the comments 💬📲.

Signing off warmly, Shailendra Kumar reminds everyone to stay curious and stay safe as we collectively shape a future where technology truly serves humanity 🌟🤝.

AGI Safety: Can We Prevent the AI Apocalypse Before It Starts?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, recent breakthroughs are pushing the boundaries of what machines can achieve. No longer confined to mere data analysis and pattern recognition, AI is now venturing into the nuanced domain of emotional intelligence. This comprehensive article explores the latest advances in AI that enable machines to predict and even influence human emotional choices, examining potential applications, ethical considerations, and providing a detailed guide for professionals looking to integrate these technologies into their work.

[INTRO]
(spoken) “The door's unlocked, ain’t this divine?
Let's make a list of everything that's about to be mine.”

[Verse 1]
First... the System Information... know the vintage of the cage.
Then the Process Discovery... see the actors on the stage.
I'll find the Permission Groups, see who thinks they're in control.
And check the running Device Drivers... just to own them, body and soul.

[Verse 2]
Now let's expand the view... map out the whole estate.
Remote System Discovery... sealing every victim's fate.
Find the juicy Network Shares, the secrets they all hide.
And check the Domain Trusts... there's nowhere left to slide.
The Cloud Infrastructure's next... I see their silver lining.
And all the while, my silent Network Sniffing is defining...

[Bridge]
...the path to victory. Every weakness, every prize.
Through the lens of thirty-three techniques, I see through their disguise.
I'll discover their whole world, from the desktop to the throne.
And every single byte of it is going to be my own.

[Verse 3]
One final inventory... before I start the real fun.
Gotta find the Security Software... and disable every one.
Check the Password Policy, see just how the tumblers fall.
And with some Log Enumeration... I'll prepare to erase it all.

[Outro]
The inventory's complete.
And now... the heist begins.
[End]

Diabolical Discovery

The heist continues, and it's time to dance. 🌹
