First, we look back at Microsoft’s major shift to remove endpoint protection from the Windows kernel. When we first covered it, it was a proposed change—now it's happening, and the implications are big.

Next, we revisit a segment on GPT-4o and how generative AI is fueling the next wave of social engineering attacks. It's smarter, faster, and more convincing than ever.

And finally, a refresher on the arrest of a Scattered Spider leader. While that made headlines, the group's activity hasn’t slowed down, they're still very much on the radar, as we discussed just last week.
