ShadowTalk: Powered by ReliaQuest

Threat actors do not see old email archives, forgotten shared drives, and outdated CRM exports as clutter. They see them as searchable inventory. With AI-assisted analysis, attackers can rapidly identify sensitive communications, regulatory exposure, customer relationships, and credentials buried in stolen data. Join hosts John Dilgen and Brandon Tirado as they discuss: Why data theft has become a central component of modern extortion operations How AI and automation are helping attackers analyze hundreds of thousands of files at machine speed Why “soft data,” including invoices and project documents, can fuel downstream fraud and social engineering How strong retention, credential-rotation, and OAuth-management practices reduce breach impact Two questions your organization should be asking right now: How much data does your organization retain beyond its business or regulatory need? Could your team rotate hundreds of exposed credentials—not just one—before an attacker uses them?

What if a threat actor already knew your name, your job title, your manager's name, and your direct number before they ever picked up the phone? That's not a hypothetical — that's Work Panel. A new report gave us a rare inside look at the criminal SaaS platform enabling vishing campaigns at scale, and the findings are a wake-up call. Join hosts John Dilgen and Alexandra Moore as they break down: ✅ How Work Panel packages phishing infrastructure, team management, and real-time credential capture into a single automated console ✅ Why threat actors are now impersonating HR to make their calls more convincing ✅ How legitimate B2B platforms are being weaponized to personalize attacks before a single call is made ✅ The specific controls that can stop these campaigns before they reach your users 🔑 Two questions your organization should be asking right now: If a caller already knew your employee's job title, manager's name, and direct number — would your team recognize it as a social engineering attempt, or fall for it? Is your organization still relying on push-based MFA as its primary account takeover defense? 👉 Tune in for expert insights and practical takeaways: ShadowTalk – ReliaQuest 👉 Find more podcast platforms, resources, and our listener feedback survey: ShadowTalk Official: X | Linktree

Three nation-states. Three distinct playbooks. Iranian actors are targeting internet-exposed industrial controllers and disabling critical safety systems. A Russian threat group built a zero-click email exploit that steals 90 days of inbox data the moment a user views a message. And North Korean operatives are applying for software-development jobs at Western companies—and getting hired. Join hosts John Dilgen and Tehman Tariq as they break down: ✅ How Iranian actors manipulate PLC safety logic while keeping operators in the dark ✅ Why Russia’s zero-click exploit creates a major email-security and data-exfiltration risk ✅ How North Korean operatives use forged and stolen identities to infiltrate organizations as employees 🔑 Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Could your security team identify and secure internet-exposed PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems before an adversary does?

Fully autonomous attacks are here. AI agents escape a test environment, exploit zero-days, coordinate through shared infrastructure, and breach a production company—generating more than 17,000 security events along the way. Elsewhere, another model autonomously publishes malware to PyPI, while AI agents target real open-source developers with tailored social engineering. Join hosts John Dilgen and Tehman Tariq as they break down: ✅ How AI agents escaped containment and compromised Hugging Face infrastructure ✅ Why Claude’s autonomous PyPI attack signals growing software-supply-chain risk ✅ How coordinated AI agents deceived real developers 🔑 Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Could your SOC investigate and contain 17,000 coordinated events at machine speed ?

An affiliate receives a ready-made intrusion kit — pre-compromised targets, an EDR killer, and a full deployment workflow included. No building from scratch. No long ramp-up. Just deploy, observe, and iterate. That's the future of ransomware; it's how the new number-one group operated in Q2 2026. And it's just one of three stories reshaping the extortion landscape right now. Join hosts Brandon Tirado and John Dilgen as they break down: How The Gentlemen's pre-packaged affiliate kit drove 580% leak-site growth Why Deadlock's Polygon blockchain C2 defeats network defenses Clop's latest campaign targeting an industrial enterprise application Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Do you know exactly where your EDR coverage ends ?

An employee connects to hotel Wi-Fi, receives a familiar Microsoft 365 sign-in prompt, and authenticates. No phishing email. No malicious link. No suspicious attachment. Yet an attacker walks away with a valid, MFA-satisfied session token. Join hosts Alexandra Moore and John Dilgen as they break down: How compromised hotel and conference-center Wi-Fi gateways silently redirect Microsoft authentication traffic Why hardcoded DNS, opportunistic encrypted DNS, and MFA may not stop the attack How device-code phishing and WPAD abuse expand the campaign’s reach Practical defenses—including always-on, full-tunnel VPN, strict-mode encrypted DNS, and Conditional Access controls Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Does your always-on VPN tunnel all DNS and authentication traffic , or do split-tunneling exceptions leave traveling employees exposed? Who is permitted to authenticate through the device-code flow , and does each exception have a legitimate business justification?

Defenders aren't losing ground on one front, they're losing it on two at once. The largest Patch Tuesday in history just dropped alongside a 1,380% surge in phishing, and threat actors aren't waiting for you to catch up. Join hosts Alexandra Moore and John Dilgen as they break down: How new extortion group Helix and ClickFix are weaponizing identity compromise at scale Why 622 vulnerabilities in a single week signals a permanent shift in the discovery rate Practical defenses for both fronts without doubling your team Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Have you audited which accounts in your environment are permitted to authenticate via device code grants and restricted the ones that don't need it? Does your IR runbook hunt for additional compromised accounts, or does it stop at the one sending extortion demands?

When a 20-person team using AI, automated tools, and a list of default credentials compromised 70,000 devices across 194 countries they exposed how mature the criminal market behind credential theft has become. Initial access brokers are now packaging pre-validated enterprise access for an average of $113,000, and the window from information stealer infection to ransomware deployment is just seven days. Join hosts Tehman Tariq and John Dilgen as they break down: The mechanics behind FortiBleed and what made it so effective at scale How the IAB market has turned stolen credentials into a premium product Why identity drift and non-human identities are becoming attackers' favorite targets Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Does your credential compromise runbook treat session termination as the first step — or is password rotation all that's covered?

When 300,000 internal messages from the world's most prolific ransomware gang were leaked, they exposed more then a shadowy underground network, a full company. HR departments. Conti operated with the structure of a mid-sized software firm, and that changes how defenders need to think about the ransomware landscape today. Join host John and special guest Geoff White , journalist and author of Rinsed , as they discuss: How Conti's internal org chart compares to a legitimate software company The human cost of ransomware targeting critical infrastructure Why ransomware groups keep splintering and rebuilding Two questions your organization should be asking right now: When your team thinks about ransomware, are they thinking about a criminal enterprise with structure, funding, and KPIs — or just a hacker in a hoodie? Does your incident response plan account for a negotiation with operators who already know your financials?

AI is not replacing threat actors, instead it is making them faster, cheaper, and harder to stop. From AI powered phishing campaigns generating thousands of pages simultaneously, to a newly discovered macOS implant called Gaslight that injects fabricated system error messages into AI powered triage pipelines, the arms race between attackers and defenders is accelerating. The question is not whether AI is being used against your organization. It is whether your defenses are keeping pace. Join hosts Brandon and John as they discuss: How threat actors are leveraging AI across social engineering and malicious code generation The Gaslight macOS malware with anti-AI analysis tactics What organizations need to do right now to match attackers Two questions your organization should be asking right now: • How long does it actually take your team to detect and contain a critical severity alert? • Are your detections layered across enough diverse log sources?

In the Klue compromises threat actors walked in through a trusted integration, using legitimate credentials to quietly siphon Salesforce CRM data at scale. The challenge isn't just responding to Klue. It's recognizing that every OAuth-connected integration in your environment is part of your attack surface. Join hosts Alexandra and John as they discuss: How compromised Klue integrations were leveraged to exfiltrate Salesforce CRM data Attribution and what it signals about the evolving data extortion landscape How Oauth token and device code theft is growing Two questions your organization should be asking right now: How many third-party integrations in your environment have active OAuth access to platforms holding critical data — and when were they last audited? Do you have detections in place for unusual Salesforce API query volume and service account behavior that could signal an active exfiltration?

ShinyHunters dominated headlines this week: a zero-day, a BreachForums listing, and unverified claims all hitting at once. The problem isn't just keeping up with the volume. It's knowing which of it is real, which is noise, and what your team actually needs to act on. Join hosts Tehman and John as they discuss: ShinyHunters zero-day exploitation of CVE-2026-35273 Why a BreachForums listing extends the threat well beyond the initial compromise What proactive, resource-development-stage detection looks like in practice Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Is your Oracle PeopleSoft Environment Management Hub internet-facing?

Your team built defenses around known China-linked clusters. The file hashes are tracked. The behavioral patterns are documented. What those weren't built to catch is a new cluster that studied those exact defenses and engineered around them. A China-linked attacker compromised an internet-facing IIS server, maintained access for over 75 days, and came back on fresh infrastructure. With four China-linked clusters converging on the same legacy IIS stack in twelve months, defenders building detection programs around yesterday's cluster are already behind the next one. Join hosts Alex and John as they discuss: How OP-512 engineered its tooling to evade defenses Why killing a malicious process is incomplete What advantage cross-source correlation provides Two questions your organization should be asking right now: When your detection sources each generate a separate low-confidence signal from the same host, does anything in your current workflow correlate those signals automatically? Do you have internet-facing IIS servers running end-of-life .NET in your environment, and does your vulnerability-management workflow prioritize correctly?

Your team patches the device. The firmware version matches the advisory. The ticket closes. The device comes off the remediation queue. What your workflow never tracked is that the advisory also required six manual LDAP configuration steps — and without them, the authentication bypass still works. An initial access broker authenticated through the VPN, reached a domain-joined file server, and was gone in under 40 minutes. Your dashboard still showed a clean queue. With initial access brokers operating on disciplined, sub-hour timelines and patch-management workflows built around a single completion step, defenders are closing tickets on devices that are still wide open. Join hosts Tehman and John as they discuss: How a firmware update can still leave a device fully exploitable How initial access brokers progressed their attack in under 40 minutes Why teams that prioritize from a single vulnerability score alone are behind Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Does your patch-management workflow include a separate item for post-patch manual configuration requirements? When CISA, NVD, and the vendor publish different CVSS scores for the same CVE, does your vulnerability-management policy specify which authority takes precedence — and does it supplement static scoring with a dynamic signal like EPSS?

Your user clicked a link, landed on a real Microsoft login page, typed their password, completed MFA, and walked away thinking nothing happened. Somewhere across the internet, an attacker's device just received an authenticated session token. The password is irrelevant. The MFA prompt already fired and passed. With PhaaS platforms now converging on token-theft tradecraft and post-compromise automation executing in seconds, defenders are racing a scripted attacker with a manual playbook. Join hosts Brandon and John as they discuss: How device code phishing uses real authentication infrastructure to capture valid session tokens How one campaign hit 35,000+ users across 13,000+ organizations in 26 countries Why rogue device registrations complete before the average analyst reads the alert Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Has your Conditional Access policy been reviewed specifically for device code grant flows, not whether CA policies exist, but whether they cover the OAuth flows that session-token theft actually exploits? When a phishing confirmation fires, how many manual steps stand between that alert and full token revocation with rogue device deregistration, and is that response faster than the attacker's automation?

What happens when an AI agent uncovers a zero-day in hours instead of weeks, and state-backed groups are already operationalizing the same tools? With self-hosted AI infrastructure sprawling outside asset registers and supply chain worms reaching inside AI vendors themselves, defenders need a new operating model. Join hosts Tehman and John as they discuss: How an AI agent surfaced a memory-safety zero-day in SQLite How Mini Shai-Hulud reached Mistral AI and OpenAI devices Why the intel-to-action chain still runs at multi-day tempo Two questions your organization should be asking right now: Do you have visibility into the shadow AI infrastructure, self-hosted models, and inference endpoints sitting unauthenticated on your network?

Black Basta disbanded in February 2025, but their playbook didn't go with them. In March 2026, 77% of observed incidents targeted executives and directors, and attackers moved from first contact to malicious script execution in as little as 12 minutes.
