U.S. Government Effectively Bans Fable 5 and Mythos 5 - 2026-06-15 Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

This episode dives into the fallout from new restrictions on Anthropic’s cybersecurity-focused AI models, Mythos and Fable, and the debate over whether government pressure has effectively blocked security researchers from using advanced AI for vulnerability discovery and code analysis. The panel discusses AI “jailbreaking” claims, export-control comparisons, the impact on penetration testing and bug hunting, and how AI is accelerating vulnerability research. Other topics include responsible disclosure challenges, the growing volume of AI-assisted security findings, and what these developments mean for researchers, vendors, and the future of offensive security.

Breach Disclosure Lag is Worse Than Ever – 2026-06-08 Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

This episode covers the rising costs and restrictions surrounding AI agents, including token consumption, model access policies, and the growing dependence on AI tools for security work. The hosts discuss Troy Hunt’s retrospective on Have I Been Pwned reaching its 1,000th tracked breach, examining why breach disclosures appear to be slowing and how GDPR and CCPA requirements affect notification practices. Additional topics include password and email hygiene, the value of breach-notification services, AI infrastructure and data center costs, and new research mapping AI-enabled cyber threats to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
