The Coming SAAS Apocalypse - 2026-02-23 Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

In this episode:

Agentic AI tools that can autonomously perform tasks like researching and booking flights, raising concerns about automated purchases, fraud, guardrails, and over-trust in AI systems.
The idea of a coming “SaaS apocalypse,” where AI tools could replicate or replace many small- and mid-tier SaaS products by crawling and recreating their functionality—potentially disrupting payroll, accounting, and other service platforms.
Android’s shift away from its open-platform roots, including concerns about reduced openness, developer anonymity in app stores, and the broader implications for privacy-focused users and alternative operating systems.
Ongoing tensions in the tech ecosystem around platform control, openness, and general-purpose computing, particularly involving large vendors like Google, Apple, Oracle, and major cloud providers.
Broader security implications of AI adoption, including hallucinations, accountability, and how organizations are integrating AI to cut costs versus innovate.

The discussion centers strictly on these current tech news developments and their security, privacy, and market impact.

Palo Alto Fears China Retaliation – 2026-02-16 Feb 22, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, the crew dives into reports that Palo Alto Networks allegedly avoided directly attributing a threat campaign to China over fears of retaliation—sparking a broader debate about corporate and government threat attribution, geopolitics, and whether attribution still matters in today’s cyber landscape.

They also explore the escalating AI arms race, including Meta’s aggressive (and expensive) talent poaching, the growing rivalry between OpenAI and Anthropic, and what it all means for the future of the industry.

Rounding out the episode, the team discusses the unintended consequences of the AI boom—like global hardware shortages stretching beyond GPUs to hard drives—and examines emerging prompt injection attack techniques, highlighting real-world examples and the growing security risks surrounding AI-powered tools.

Live From WWHF Mile High 2026 – 2026-02-11 Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

Live from Wild West Hackin’ Fest Denver 2026, the Black Hills Information Security crew brings their signature mix of sharp security insight and off-the-cuff banter to a packed in-person audience.

This episode centers on a controversial Notepad update that introduced Markdown rendering—along with a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue. The hosts unpack what this says about modern software bloat, “vibe coding,” and the growing push to embed AI into everything—whether it belongs there or not. They also explore the implications of Discord's Age verification requirements, AI-generated code, including OpenAI’s latest Codex model, and debate whether we’re headed toward a wave of AI-assisted vulnerabilities.

This episode is a rapid-fire cybersecurity news roundup covering multiple headlines and what they mean for defenders. The crew debates reports that Chinese firms are dropping U.S. and Israeli security vendors, then pivots into breach fallout, malware activity, and real-world attacker behavior. Along the way, they unpack how geopolitics affects procurement, why supply-chain dependencies make “bans” messy, and what happens when organizations swap tools fast.

Expect candid takes on ransomware trends, enterprise security operations, and where hype collides with implementation. The hosts also riff on incident response realities, risk management, and what security teams should watch for next—plus plenty of side commentary and humor in between.
