There are many podcasts popping up in bonsai but recently Mirai became aware of one in particular whose host brought a different level to the game of bonsai discussion. The Bonsai Builders Podcast is the brainchild of bonsai addict and passionate practitioner Addison Galambos. Through Addison's innate curiosity, contemplative wit, and thorough preparation, we found Bonsai Builders to be something new, something different, and something more in depth. Naturally, when Addison approached Mirai to do a deep dive on bonsai culture, aesthetics, judging, and other tasty subject matter, it was tough to turn down. Mirai x Bonsai Builders are releasing part 1 of our conversation in collaboration on both platforms. We dig deep into trees mirroring people, culture clashes in design, and how judging can make or break a show. However, to hear part 2 of our conversation, and easily the best part of the discussion, head over to the Bonsai Builders podcast here. Give Bonsai Builders a like and subscribe, listen to the rest of Ryan's conversation with Addison, and send the Builders some love to help an up-and-coming talent continue to grow. Each time we talk about complex subject matter we tease out new themes and evolve our understanding. We are confident this conversation is a major step in the continued journey to uncovering the depth and power of bonsai as an art form. Enjoy!

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 60: We dissect a fresh multi-agency Salt Typhoon advisory (with IOCs and YARA rules!), why it landed late, why the wall of logos matters (and doesn't), and what's actually usable for defenders: new YARA, tool hashes, naming ambiguity across reports, the mention of Chinese vendors, and a Dutch note that smaller ISPs were hit. Plus, Costin details his hunting stack and philosophy (historic IOC/malware hoarding, fast pivots, and AI as analyst “wingman”) and a new Chinese APT report that may intersect with LightBasin and the murky PSOA world. We also debate Google's proposed “cyber disruption unit” versus Microsoft's DCU (legal vs. “ethical” takedowns, PR, and business models); react to Anthropic's report on real attacker use of Claude; note Amazon's APT29 watering-hole disruption; and close on a fresh WhatsApp-to-ImageIO zero-click chain and practical phone OPSEC.

Brandon Roberts joins us at the very beginning of his apprenticeship—already having demonstrated exceptional commitment with a six-hour round trip, twice a week, for three months, just to study bonsai at Mirai. In this open and thoughtful conversation, we explore the meaning of apprenticeship: its gravity, its rewards, and the vulnerability of sharing it publicly. Brandon brings a contagious energy that reignites the passion behind the practice, reminding us of the purpose that drives this path. This episode marks week one of what we hope will be a long and meaningful chapter—an origin story, a time capsule, and the start of a pursuit that will echo through the work, the trees, and the small moments in between.
“Mirai in Japanese means 'future'. It refers not to the immediate future, but to a distant dream, a romantic thought, the future yet to come, ever out of reach, unobtainable, and always evolving. It is the foreshadowing of the perpetual stewardship and unknown future that guides this very special relationship with the tree.” This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are joined by the botanical artist who is on a mission to weave ancient Japanese bonsai traditions with the native species of North America, Ryan Neil. Tune in with us as Ryan and Tommy dive into Ryan's journey through the world of bonsai, how trees offer a reflection into ourselves, and the commendable mission to save the at-risk ancient olive trees of Puglia, Italy. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are so honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are an invaluable piece to our podcast.

Mirai Now Exploits Samsung MagicINFO CMS CVE-2024-7399 The Mirai botnet added a new vulnerability to its arsenal.

Forecast = Scattered exploits, Mirai storms brewing, and rogue drones dropping malware over Russia. Keep your firewalls up—a vulnerability front is rolling in fast! On this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, we're bringing you a packed episode that covers the latest in cyber threat intelligence, industry news, and a few stories you won't want to miss. We kick things off with our usual round of introductions and a quick look at the cyber weather, setting the stage for what's happening across the threat landscape. In our first segment, Tod shares his wrap-up from VulnCon 2025, highlighting the key takeaways and emerging trends from this year's conference. From new vulnerability research to the latest in exploit techniques, Tod breaks down what security professionals need to know and what's likely to shape the industry in the coming months. Next up, we sit down with Tracy Z. Maleeff, better known as InfosecSherpa, for an interview that traces her journey from librarian to cybersecurity professional. Tracy shares insights on career pivots, the importance of information literacy in security, and her ongoing work to make the field more accessible. Her story is a must-listen for anyone considering a move into cyber or looking for inspiration from someone who's successfully navigated the transition. We then turn our attention to a headline-grabbing story out of Ukraine, where reports indicate that drones sent into Russian territory are not just for surveillance or kinetic impact—they're also carrying malware designed to infect military systems if captured. This blend of physical and cyber warfare is a stark reminder of how modern conflicts are increasingly fought on multiple fronts, with digital payloads now as critical as traditional munitions. If we need to fill a little extra time, we'll explore some of the more bizarre aspects of hybrid warfare, including reports of weaponized consumer goods—think exploding sex toys and cosmetics—being used as part of psychological and disruption campaigns targeting the West. It's a strange new world where almost anything can be turned into a tool of conflict. We also spotlight recent research from Censys on the Salt Typhoon attacks, which underscore the need for advanced defenses as attackers continue to exploit edge devices and cloud infrastructure. Their findings highlight the importance of proactive monitoring and rapid response to emerging threats. On the GreyNoise front, we've observed a threefold surge in exploitation attempts targeting TVT DVRs, likely linked to Mirai botnet activity. This uptick is a clear signal that attackers are constantly scanning for vulnerable devices to conscript into their botnets, and it's a reminder for defenders to stay vigilant and patch exposed systems. As always, we wrap up with a round of goodbyes and a reminder to subscribe for more insights, interviews, and real-time threat intelligence. Thanks for tuning in to Storm⚡️Watch—where we keep you ahead of the cyber storms. Storm Watch Homepage >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>

Forecast: Murdoc botnet storms hit IoT devices, Mastercard's DNS flaw clouds visibility, and DHS shutdowns leave security in the dark. In this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, we explore a major DNS misconfiguration at Mastercard that went undetected for over four years. Security researcher Philippe Caturegli uncovered a simple but critical typo in Mastercard's DNS nameserver records where "akam.net" was written as "akam.ne". This error affected one in five DNS requests to Mastercard's infrastructure and could have allowed attackers to intercept emails, capture Windows authentication credentials, and distribute malware through trusted domains. The cybersecurity community was rocked by news that several crucial Department of Homeland Security advisory committees have been terminated. The Cyber Safety Review Board, which was actively investigating the Salt Typhoon hacks targeting U.S. telecommunications companies, was among the disbanded groups. This move has interrupted ongoing investigations into communications targeting high-profile political figures and raised concerns about gaps in information sharing and policy recommendations. A sophisticated new variant of the Mirai malware called the Murdoc Botnet has emerged, targeting IoT devices worldwide. With over 1,300 compromised devices and more than 100 command-and-control servers, this botnet specifically exploits vulnerabilities in AVTECH IP cameras and Huawei HG532 routers. Between December 2024 and January 2025, the botnet has launched significant DDoS campaigns against Japanese corporations, banks, and organizations across multiple sectors in various countries. The 2022 HIPAA Breach Report reveals concerning trends in healthcare security. There were 626 incidents affecting over 41 million people, with hacking and IT incidents accounting for 74% of all large breaches. Surprisingly, paper records remain a significant vulnerability, especially in smaller breaches. The report highlights persistent issues with weak authentication practices, insufficient audit controls, and incomplete risk analyses, resulting in major settlements totaling over $2.4 million. Join us for an in-depth discussion of these critical cybersecurity developments and their implications for the industry.

Rossy Ogawa's departure from Stardom, the promotion he founded some 13-years ago, shocked a lot of the wrestling world, and initially caused panic among fans (and talent) about the future of Stardom! Matt Turner and Rob Goodwin from The Stardom Cast return to share details and provide insight into the circumstances surrounding Rossy's frustration and ultimate firing by Bushiroad, his standing with the talent, how Stardom was able to save much of the roster, when Rossy really started making plans to launch Dream Star Fighting Marigold, and what they think the future holds for both promotions and Joshi wrestling in general. They also weigh in on Giulia and her impending departure to WWE, Mercedes Mone's AEW debut and feud with Willow Nightingale, Mariah May and how she's fairing at AEW with Toni Storm (and a surprise appearance by her former Stardom tag team partner, Mina Shirakawa), MIRAI, Utami Hayashishita, Yuzuki, Mayu Iwatani, and Tam Nakano. Plus, they discuss the comments made about Rossy's Bushiroad departure by both Kenny Omega and Tony Khan.
