In this RIFF Edition, Navroop and Matt work through seven stories spanning different sectors, threat actors, and tools—but one failure mode: the layer underneath your security stack is the actual attack surface. From the collapse of patching windows to Russian intelligence phishing Signal accounts, from an Iranian-linked group wiping 80,000 Stryker devices through Microsoft Intune to Proton Mail's billing layer unmasking an anonymous user, the throughline is consistent: the attack didn't beat the technology—it went around it.
