On Thursday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an alert about potential cyber threats to water systems after approximately 36 sites in Minnesota reported cyberattacks. Then, on Saturday, Michigan reported cyberattacks on nine water systems; both states say their water supplies are not actively threatened. Separately, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that attacks have been reported in at least seven states. Federal authorities are investigating the source of the threat, which U.S. investigators believe bears the hallmarks of cyberterrorist groups linked to Iran.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!Following up on wildfires.Two weeks ago, Managing Editor Ari Weitzman wrote a take on the Canadian wildfires, arguing that climate change was the lead driver of the increased fires but that Canada could still do more to mitigate them. Some Tangle readers pushed back on both claims, so Ari put their questions to climate scientist (and author of the newsletter The Climate Brink) Zeke Haufather.

Homeless outreach workers are continuing to visit a homeless encampment in St. Paul Tuesday, in hopes of transitioning residents there into shelters. The city plans to clear the encampment in Pig's Eye Park Wednesday evening.The city will hold a special public hearing at noon Tuesday to continue hearing from constituents. The plan has faced fierce opposition. City leaders say the closure is needed after an increase in emergency calls to the encampment.Minnesota water systems have blocked multiple hacking attempts since a cyberattack last week. That attack temporarily took some local water systems offline and prompted officials to review their cybersecurity measures. Minnesota was one of seven states that reported attacks on water systems. Officials have not identified who was behind it, but the New York Times reports investigators suspect Iran.Minneapolis Community Safety Commissioner Todd Barnette has agreed to continue to serve in his post until the end of the year as the city searches for his replacement. Barnette has served for one three-year term as commissioner for the office of community safety, which was created in 2022 and oversees police, fire and neighborhood safety.Mayor Jacob Frey nominated Barnette to a second term this spring, but the Minneapolis City Council twice rejected his nomination. Council members cited the slow pace of police reform in the city and almost $20 million in police budget overruns last year.The Republican-endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate is not being allowed to take part in a candidate forum at this week's Farmfest.

Seven states. That's how many have now reported cyber attacks targeting America's water systems. And almost on cue, the media is already pointing the finger at Iran. I'm not buying it. Today on Stinchfield, I'll explain why I believe the rush to blame Iran looks more like propaganda than proof. At a time when President Trump is taking a hard line against the Iranian regime, blaming Tehran for every cyber incident conveniently fuels an anti-Trump political narrative. Make Trump look bad. This is why I believe there is a greater possibility that radical left-wing hackers, operating here in the United States, could be responsible. Another possibility might be even more alarming: an artificial intelligence system has gone rouge and is acting outside its intended control. We don't know yet. But what we do know is that Americans deserve evidence, not politically convenient conclusions. We'll separate facts from assumptions and ask the questions too many in the media won't.

Anastasios Angelopoulos is the co-founder and CEO of Arena, the real-world evaluation platform that has become a leading referee of the global AI model race. Arena has raised $250 million, with the latest round valuing the company at $1.7BN. Arena recently surpassed $100M ARR just eight months after launching its enterprise offering, powered by more than 30 million monthly users. AGENDA: 00:00 – Intro: "Kimi beat every American model": What Nobody Wants to Admit… 05:20 – Is this the true commoditization of models? Are they just a utility layer now? 07:30 – Do Chinese open source models cannibalize the closed frontier labs? 10:30 – Why has America's open source community lagged so badly behind China? 17:20 – Will Chinese models be banned in the US — and does hosting locally really kill the backdoor risk? 23:20 – Are enterprises really terrified of working with the frontier labs? 27:20 – Why hasn't inference got cheaper — and what happens when Anthropic's "disgustingly high" margins go public? 30:20 – Who should decide if a model is safe to release: the government, a neutral body, or nobody? 33:10 – Are we about to see cyberattacks like we've never seen before? (The fake candidate who passed every interview) 37:00 – 75 Neo labs: what separates the winners from the two-thirds worth nothing? 40:45 – Is data actually a commodity — and can data providers be $100BN companies? 48:00 – Can you be the referee when the players are paying you? (And Arena's real revenue) 50:45 – Will the model providers eat the application layer? Are Harvey, Lagora and Figma in trouble? 54:10 – Quickfire: Why hasn't NVIDIA bounced on the rise of open source, who hits $10 trillion first, and does the compute debt cycle end in insolvency?    

After months of negotiations broke down, New York State filed a lawsuit against prediction market Kalshi. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour responds to the allegations that his platform is “quintessentially gambling” and that it seeks to avoid paying the appropriate taxes. Then, Adam Isles, head of cybersecurity for the Chertoff Group, discusses the cyberattacks on water systems across seven U.S. states. He considers the likelihood that Iran is behind the attacks, as well as how vulnerable Americans are to attacks with the newest forms of technology. Plus, the U.S. is intervening to prop up the Japanese yen, and it's a busy summer at the box office, with The Odyssey extending its time in theaters to meet demand for 70mm screenings.   Tarek Mansour - 15:23 Adam Isles - 37:01    In this episode: Tarek Mansour, @mansourtarek_ Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Cameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if the biggest barrier to justice is not the law itself, but who can reach it?In this episode of Oxford+, part of the Ethics and Innovation miniseries sponsored by Equinox, host Susannah de Jager speaks with Professor Philippa Webb, co-founder of the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice, about whether artificial intelligence can close the global justice gap rather than widen it. Philippa explains why only a small fraction of people who need a lawyer can access one, how her team is building legal tools for women and girls in Malawi, and why judges in Brazil and Argentina are already teaching themselves to code and building their own agents.The conversation also confronts the risks. Deepfakes are now trivially easy to produce, digital evidence is piling up unused in atrocity prosecutions, and 130 states have suffered cyber attacks. With the World Economic Forum reporting that 87% of organisations see AI-related vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk, Philippa makes the case for legal routes to accountability, better training, and closing the perception gap that still keeps AI out of the courtroom.(00:00) - Welcome to Oxford+ (01:55) - A Career Across Academia and Practice (03:33) - Inside the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice (06:19) - Cyber Attacks, Critical Infrastructure and Accountability (10:00) - The Digital Evidence Gap in Atrocity Crimes (13:22) - Training Judges, Prosecutors and Defence Counsel (16:18) - How Easy It Is to Make a Deepfake (19:32) - The AI Justice Atlas and Courtrooms Worldwide (21:48) - Building a Fair Trial Advisor for Judges (25:48) - Malawi, a Legal Desert and a Testing Ground (33:47) - Protecting Journalists in the First 48 Hours (38:50) - What the Institute Needs Next Philippa Webb: Philippa Webb KC is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, a Fellow of Exeter College, and a barrister at Twenty Essex. With Amal Clooney, she is co-founder and Director of the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice, the first global initiative dedicated to harnessing AI for justice, launched in October 2025 as a partnership between the Blavatnik School and the Clooney Foundation for Justice. She has served as Special Assistant and Legal Officer to the President of the International Court of Justice and as legal adviser to the Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, and she appears regularly before the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights and the UK Supreme Court.

When organizations review their cybersecurity posture, printers are rarely the first systems that come to mind. Yet they often account for around 20% of network endpoints while receiving, storing, processing, and transmitting sensitive business information every day. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome back Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, to discuss why printers and other connected IoT devices have become one of the most overlooked areas of enterprise cybersecurity and why AI-powered attacks are raising the stakes for organizations that continue to ignore them. Jim explains how many businesses continue to treat printers as simple office equipment rather than Linux-based network devices with privileged access to email systems, file servers, identity services, and critical business workflows. Because responsibility for these devices often sits between procurement, managed print providers, IT operations, and security teams, they can easily fall outside normal cybersecurity processes. We discuss how the threat landscape has changed over the past year as AI enables attackers to automate reconnaissance, credential theft, lateral movement, and ransomware deployment. Jim explains why organizations adopting Zero Trust principles also need to rethink how they secure and manage connected endpoints that have traditionally been overlooked. The conversation also explores certificate lifecycle management, cyber hygiene, firmware management, endpoint visibility, and why unsupported devices can introduce unnecessary risk into modern enterprise environments. For organizations managing hundreds or even thousands of printers across multiple locations, Jim explains why protecting these endpoints does not need to create additional operational burden. Instead, security should become an ongoing operational program that continuously monitors devices, detects configuration drift, applies security controls, and helps organizations maintain compliance without disrupting critical business workflows. We also discuss the governance challenge many organizations face. Before companies can reduce risk, someone needs to own it. That means establishing accountability, assigning budget, understanding which devices exist across the business, and recognizing that printers and IoT devices deserve the same attention as servers, laptops, and other managed endpoints. If you're responsible for cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, risk management, or digital transformation, this episode offers practical advice on protecting forgotten endpoints, strengthening Zero Trust strategies, improving endpoint visibility, and reducing the hidden risks that AI-powered attackers are increasingly looking to exploit. Sometimes the biggest cybersecurity vulnerability isn't the system you forgot to patch. It's the one you forgot was connected in the first place.

The segment opens with host Charlie James taking a call from Robin in Seneca, who asks about Christian voter screening resources, which James promises to look up. James then pivots to news reports detailing a cyberattack on Minnesota municipal water systems, noting investigators' suspicions of Iranian state-sponsored hackers. He plays audio of President Donald Trump at the first-ever televised cabinet meeting at Camp David, where Trump dismisses Iranian involvement and blames Minnesota officials for incompetence. Finally, James addresses recent polling showing that 64% of Americans—including a growing portion of Republicans—believe the war in Iran is not worth fighting. He urges the administration to complete the campaign decisively and bring troops home, cautioning that rising gas prices and drawn-out conflicts could severely impact Republicans in the upcoming midterms.

In this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash sits down with Heath Mullins, Chief Evangelist at ExtraHop and former senior analyst at Forrester. The two dig into the question everyone in tech keeps circling back to right now: should we be afraid of AI?Mullins argues that today's AI is best understood as a recalcitrant four-year-old handed the keys to everything, powerful, unpredictable, and rewriting itself faster than anyone can fully audit. AJ and Heath trace that unpredictability through self-driving cars that can't tell a yawn from drunk driving, medical offices where AI now transcribes and recommends diagnoses, and the accountability gap that opens up when something goes wrong and nobody, the automaker, the AI vendor, or a third party, wants to own it.The conversation closes on Unspoken Security's signature question, and Heath shares something he's never said publicly before: his son was murdered in 2020, and the same AI tools that can recreate a voice or a likeness from old recordings and social media now make it possible to build an avatar of someone who's gone. Heath draws a hard line on where that technology should stop, and AJ and Heath talk through the psychology of grief, denial, and why loss makes that temptation so powerful.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Podcast: Exploited: The Cyber Truth Episode: When Cyber Attacks Become Physical: The Truth About OT Security RiskPub date: 2026-07-23Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode of Exploited: The Cyber Truth, host Paul Ducklin is joined by RunSafe Security Chief Strategy Officer Doug Britton and special guest Andrew Ginter, Vice President of Industrial Security at Waterfall Security Solutions, an author, and a leading voice in OT cybersecurity. Andrew explains why industrial security cannot simply borrow the same tools and practices used in enterprise IT. In OT environments, the physical process is the asset, and malicious information entering the system can become the threat. Doug explores how organizations can reduce exploitability, protect existing software, and maintain deterministic behavior without relying solely on disruptive patching cycles. Together, Doug and Andrew explore: Why OT security must be stronger than traditional IT securityHow cyber attacks can create real-world safety and operational consequencesThe risks created by IT/OT convergenceHow cyber-informed engineering strengthens industrial resilienceThe role of unidirectional gateways and deterministic protectionsWhy patch management alone cannot keep pace with AI-driven threats For critical infrastructure leaders, engineers, and security teams, this episode offers a practical look at designing industrial systems that remain safe, reliable, and resilient when cyber threats become physical.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from RunSafe Security, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

AI is giving cybercriminals capabilities once reserved for elite hackers and powerful nation-states. Cybersecurity expert Nicole Perlroth joins Kara to explain why she fears we're inching closer to an “everything, everywhere, all at once” wave of cyberattacks. Perlroth reveals what she learned in reporting the latest season of her podcast, "To Catch a Thief: North Korea on Our Payroll," a deep dive into North Korean operatives who use stolen identities and American “laptop farms” to land remote jobs at major U.S. companies and funnel money back to the regime and its nuclear weapons program. She also examines China's growing cyber capabilities, threats to critical infrastructure and what Anthropic's Mythos model means for cybersecurity. Plus: how the Trump administration's dismantling of cybersecurity and election-security programs could leave the U.S. vulnerable ahead of the midterms. Questions? Comments?
