About 400 stores were hit and millions of euros of food went in the bin. The EU’s food commissioner called it “the weaponisation of food.” Two months earlier, researchers at Claroty’s Team82 had published research on Danfoss’s refrigeration controllers. They’d found thousands of them exposed online, plus a hidden “code of the day” that let you log in as an administrator without a password. Scott sat down with them to talk about what they found.

Agentic swarms? PR boondoggle or really big deal? When Hugging Face was breached by a mysterious intruder, OpenAI admitted it was one of their own AI agentic systems going rogue to cheat on a benchmark. Tom Bonner joins us to break down the 500+ raw code artifacts the agent left behind—and what it means when an AI compresses weeks of complex cyberattacks into just 8.5 hours.
