Risky Business #834 -- Vercel gets owned, Mozilla dumps hundreds of Mythos bugs
2026/04/22
On this week’s show, Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by special guest The Grugq. They discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
Vercel got owned, and there’s a few infostealer and compromised employee dots to connect
Mozilla used Mythos to find 271 bugs, which feels like a sign of the bug-pocalypse
Speaking of the bug-pocalypse, is that why NIST is noping out of enriching a bunch of bugs?
The NSA is using Mythos even though the government did that whole Anthropic blacklisting thing
And DDos attacks hit a couple of smaller-player socials
This week’s episode is sponsored by Permiso. Ian Ahl chats to Pat about the subtle signals Permiso uses to detect ShinyHunters-style activity in cloud and on-prem environments.
This episode is also available on Youtube.

Snake Oilers: Burp AI, Sondera and Truffle Security
2026/04/09
In this edition of the Snake Oilers podcast three vendors stop by to pitch the audience on their products:
Burp AI and DAST: The founder of PortSwigger and creator of legendary security software Burp Suite, Dafydd Stuttard, drops by to pitch listeners on Burp AI and Burp Suite DAST.
Sondera: Josh Devon talks about Sondera, a technology designed to intervene when AI models start doing the wrong thing by statefully tracking their trajectories. This isn’t a permissions suite for AI agents, it’s a way to stick agents in a harness and make sure they adhere to hard policy boundaries.
Truffle Security: Dylan Ayrey, the founder of Truffle Security, joins Risky Business again to talk through the latest bells and whistles in Trufflehog, a security tool that searches for exposed secrets and validates them. The Truffle team has done a lot of work on the remediation part of their product over the last few years, and Dylan tells us all about it!

There is no magic solution to this problem. AI models mix code and data, are non-deterministic, and are crawling around all over your enterprise data and APIs as you read this.
But in this sponsored interview, Josh outlines how we can start to wrap our hands around the problem.
