State of Cybercrime

OpenClaw – an opensource AI agent dubbed “Claude with hands” – has exploded across GitHub, rocketing from obscurity to 170,000 stars in just two weeks. It’s now the fastest spreading form of shadow IT, with users plugging it into critical environments long before understanding the risks. Combine that with Moltbook, the new social platform where AI agents interact at scale, and you’ve got a volatile new frontier – one where scores of human-controlled agents bury prompt injections in plain sight and create attack surfaces no one has prepared for. In this episode of State of Cybercrime, Matt and David unpack why OpenClaw and Moltbook represent a watershed moment in AI adoption and how easily enthusiasm is outpacing security. They’re joined by Moriah Hara, three-time award-winning Fortune 500 CISO, who brings her seasoned perspective to our new segment: “Voices from the Frontlines.”

React2Shell, the zero-click RCE exploit, is rapidly becoming one of the most significant cybersecurity incidents this year.

From emergency patches causing a massive Cloudflare outage to active exploitation by China and North Korea-linked groups, this flaw may be the next Log4Shell moment for enterprises and developers alike.

Join Matt and David for an episode of State of Cybercrime that breaks down how attackers are weaponizing this vulnerability and what organizations must do to stay safe. They will also dive into the Shai-hulud 2.0 assault on cloud infrastructure as well as the biggest DDoS attack ever recorded.

A Chinese state-sponsored group weaponized Anthropic’s Claude tool to launch the first large-scale AI-driven espionage campaign, targeting more than 30 organizations across tech, finance, manufacturing, and government.
 
This wasn’t an AI agent merely assisting hackers – it was autonomously performing reconnaissance, exploit development, and data exfiltration.
 
Join Matt and David on the next State of Cybercrime as they break down this game-changing leap for attackers. They will also dive into the latest Citrix and Cisco zero-day exploits and share critical updates on emerging AI regulations.

This month marked the discovery of one of the largest NPM compromises in history. Though AI-assisted social engineering, a profilic developer dubbed Qix was phished. His account was then maliciously used to publish poisoned packages, many of which were used to manipulate crypto transactions. Thankfully, it was detected before too many users downloaded these packages, but it highlights how vulnerable we can be if these upstream components get compromised. In this special State of Cybercrime episode, Matt and David break down this NPM compromise, and cover everything else new in the world of cybercrime.
