Stealing more than the spotlight.

This week, we are joined by Matt Poto, Associate Triage Analyst at Huntress, discussing their work on "Grand Theft Auto VI Hype Leads to Malware." Threat actors are exploiting the hype surrounding the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA6) by distributing fake leaked game downloads designed to infect unsuspecting gamers. Huntress identified malicious ISOs promoted through search engine poisoning, gaming forums, torrent sites, and social media that contain multiple types of malware, including remote access trojans (RATs), an infostealer, and ransomware. The malware can steal credentials and personal information, give attackers control of compromised systems, and encrypt or destroy files, with evidence suggesting the campaign may be targeting Russian-speaking gamers.

How close are we to an autonomous SOC?

AI-enabled attacks are on the rise, your analysts are drowning in alerts, and vendors are positioning an autonomous SOC as the solution. But what can AI agents actually do today? How will analyst roles evolve? And how much autonomy can you safely give? Cybersecurity researcher Jon Oltsik joins Johnny and Dustin to separate AI automation from AI autonomy. They explore what it takes to bring AI agents into the SOC safely, from testing agents in shadow mode to establishing clear guardrails and human oversight, and why trust in an agent has to be earned through proven performance.
