Chris Wysopal was one of the first hackers to go public. As "Weld Pond" at the L0pht hacker collective in Boston, he testified before the US Senate in 1998, where the group delivered the soundbite that they could take down the internet in 30 minutes. He also wrote the Windows version of Netcat. In 2006 he co-founded Veracode, which by his account has now analysed trillions of lines of code. Today he's the company's Chief Security Evangelist. Tobi and Chris talk about what AI changes for attackers and defenders. Attacks are getting cheaper and faster, and a custom exploit no longer tells you a nation-state is behind it. Chris argues this follows a familiar cycle: attackers adopt a new class of tool first, defenders catch up, and parity returns. That only holds if defenders actually adopt the tools, especially underfunded organisations like hospitals, schools and utilities. They also cover the new attack surface created by agents, plugins and MCPs, why prompt injection may never be fully solvable, and how Chris would handle security debt when acquiring a small SaaS company. CTOs will leave with a concrete shortlist: avoid memory-unsafe languages, put a package firewall in front of open source, run AI-assisted static analysis with real architectural context, and give coding agents explicit security intent rather than hoping "make it secure" does the job. - From the L0pht and BBS culture to the professional security industry - The BGP flaw behind "30 minutes to take down the internet" - How AI changes the cost and speed of attacks - Prompt injection, agents, MCPs and least privilege - Security debt in B2B SaaS acquisitions - Secure on first write: security intent, context and pre-merge testing - How engineering and security roles change over the next two years

More To The Story: Back in August, Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon did something few outside the state saw coming: She won Florida's Democratic US Senate primary. Her victory sent shock waves through the political world not only because her opponent Alex Vindman's war chest dwarfed hers 19 to 1, but also because Nixon ran as a Democratic Socialist. Today, she's one of a number of candidates around the country affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America who could be elected to Congress this November. The sudden rise in the DSA's popularity is reshaping the Democratic Party and America's political landscape. On this week's More To The Story, Nixon talks to host Al Letson about going from community activist and comic book co-author to upstart US Senate candidate, being “the biggest thorn” in Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' side, and whether her progressive message can win in deep-red Florida.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: Angie Nixon Goes on Trial in September.

Former Sen Sherrod Brown is challenging sitting Sen Jon Husted.

The Protect College Sports Act has crossed the finish line in the Senate, passing with a vote of 77 to 22. Utah's two Senators voted in favor of the bipartisan legislation, which aims to really protect college athletes. It's not a complete win yet, though -- it looks like it'll have quite a challenge in the House. For additional insights, the hosts speak with Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux.

A conservative watchdog group is reporting that Senate Candidate Angie Nixon filed false financial disclosure paperwork with the US Senate where she allegedly omitted massive debts.

Sunday, September 27, marks two years since Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, becoming both the deadliest and most economically destructive storm in state history. It's also becoming a hot topic on the campaign trail for our US Senate race between Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley. WRAL state government reporter Will Doran and WRAL News+ anchor Grace Holland talk through the past two years and how Hurricane Helene and its recovery efforts are playing a role in this November's midterm elections.

Debates are supposed to clarify elections, but sometimes the real game is the argument about whether the debate happens at all. We dig into the New Mexico governor race drama around Deb Haaland and Gregg Hull, why a front-runner might avoid a live stage, and how a challenger can accidentally hand over the perfect excuse. From a campaign operative's view, we talk leverage, earned media, and why “accept anything” is often the only workable debate strategy when you are being outspent.Then we get into the surprise twist: the lieutenant governor debate. We explain why it's strange to see the bottom of the ticket debating when the top is not, and how that hour can create more harm than help. We react to coverage of Stephanie Garcia Richard's performance versus David Gallegos, the optics that stick on video, and the bigger issue of ticket discipline. We also break down a Gallegos ad that attacks Holland in a way that can confuse voters and signal chaos to national groups deciding where to invest.We zoom out to the midterm elections environment with a quick check of US Senate polling averages, then hit the core voter reality: cost of living and gas prices. From there, Iran policy and messaging come into focus, including a clip that shows how a candidate's answer can reveal a lot when emotions and foreign policy collide. And because this is us, we close with New Mexico weather, El Nino rain potential, and a shot at early high mountain snow, plus Sunday Game Day wildlife updates.Subscribe, share this with a politically obsessed friend, and leave a review if you want more straight talk and behind-the-scenes analysis.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Kristin Smith is President of the Solana Policy Institute. She joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss why the Clarity Act stalled in the US Senate. Kristin explains how the politics around President Trump, opposition from the banking lobby and a shifting Democratic electorate derailed the bill, and why she believes the industry still came out ahead as the SEC and CFTC move to write rules on their own. They also discuss the risk of a political backlash and crypto's shift toward financial infrastructure.You can connect with Kristin Smith on LinkedIn For editorial and sponsorship enquiries: aaron@promenadeadvisory.comSubscribe to Bits and Borders: Bits and Borders is presented by SumsubSumsub recently released its fourth annual State of the Crypto Industry report.

Dr. Annie Andrews is a pediatrician and mother from Charleston. She is the Democratic candidate running for the open U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina. No Democrat has won a Senate seat in S.C. since 1998. She discusses her hopes to flip the seat.

Tom Hauser is the Chief Political Reporter for KSTP-TV and is a regular contributor to the the Chad Hartman Show. Their conversation today starts with Chad asking about KSTP's latest polls on Minnesota's upcoming elections. They shift to Speaker Lisa Demuth's tying of fraud in Minnesota to her gubernatorial opponent Senator Amy Klobuchar. Chad asks which candidate benefits most from the ongoing healthcare issues. They touch on the trend of candidates moving away from participating in debates. In their second segment they talk about Michele Tafoya's choice to frequent Fox News as much as she is during her campaign for Minnesota's open US Senate seat. Tom also speaks to the lack of exposure and conversation around candidate plans in the race for US Senate. They also discuss the recent polling numbers and Tafoya's lack of reach out to moderate/independent voters.

Dr. Mona speaks with Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, mother, and US Senate candidate in South Carolina, about the vital connection between child health, parenting, and national politics. They explore why healthcare issues cannot be separated from political action and why pediatricians and parents need to build real political power to protect children. Key Takeaways Children Lack Political Power: Because kids cannot vote, donate to campaigns, or hire lobbyists, their needs are consistently deprioritized by elected officials unless adults actively build political power on their behalf. The Danger of Neutrality: Remaining apolitical or staying on the sidelines does not solve systemic issues like Medicaid cuts, high prescription costs, or underfunded public education. Beyond Basic Advocacy: While research identifies health problems and advocacy brings them to light, politics is what actually shifts power to implement long-term policy solutions. National Impact of Local & State Races: State-level policies directly affect child wellness, and supporting candidates who center family and child health shapes national legislative conversations.

Dana Bash at CNN thought it was "gross" that 46% of voters in Michigan said they would NOT vote for a Muslim. Is that gross? Should a Christian vote for a Muslim for the US Senate?

In March, Rep. Andy Ogles declared that Muslims didn't belong in American society. Since then, the broader GOP has leaned harder and harder into anti-Muslim scapegoating, using the same playbook they used to fear monger about transgender people in 2022 and migrant "caravans" in 2018.Jared and Mike are joined by Wajahat Ali to discuss the surge of anti-Muslim bigotry in US politics, JD Vance's obsession with Abdul El-Sayed, an ADL-sponsored event where a speaker said Muslims should leave America go back to their "shithole countries," and more.American Muslims are posting historic political gains, seen in Zohran Mamdani's mayoral election and Abdul El-Sayed's campaign for US Senate in Michigan.

Minnesota's U.S. Senate race has been relatively quiet since the August primary set up the fall matchup between DFL Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Republican former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya. Both candidates have been attending events and fundraising, but public appearances and press conferences have been less frequent than during the primary. Campaign advertising has also been lighter than in the governor's race, with a little more than 40 days remaining before Election Day.The Minneapolis City Council will hear public input Tuesday on a proposal that would require driverless taxis to have a person sitting in the driver's seat. The ordinance would regulate autonomous vehicle companies including Waymo, which is testing vehicles in Minneapolis. Council member Robin Wonsley says the proposal is intended to protect rideshare jobs and address safety concerns. Waymo says the restrictions would limit its ability to operate in the city.Detroit Lakes Public Schools is revisiting a ban on displaying rainbows on campus. The School Board approved the measure this summer, targeting stickers used by some teachers to identify classrooms as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students, but later paused enforcement while attorneys revised the language. Board members will discuss a new version Tuesday that does not specifically mention rainbows. The policy could be approved as soon as next month.St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her has amended her proposed 2027 budget, reversing an earlier proposal to close the Dayton's Bluff Library. Her says higher-than-expected revenue projections, including additional money from a franchise agreement with Xcel Energy, allow the city to restore funding for the library and Highwood Hills Recreation Center. The updated proposal also restores morning hours at city recreation centers.

Hosts Allan Lengel and Jim Nardone talk about the tight U.S. Senate race in Michigan and the factor of minority voters.  

Dr. Mona speaks with Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, mother, and US Senate candidate in South Carolina, about the vital connection between child health, parenting, and national politics. They explore why healthcare issues cannot be separated from political action and why pediatricians and parents need to build real political power to protect children. Key Takeaways Children Lack Political Power: Because kids cannot vote, donate to campaigns, or hire lobbyists, their needs are consistently deprioritized by elected officials unless adults actively build political power on their behalf. The Danger of Neutrality: Remaining apolitical or staying on the sidelines does not solve systemic issues like Medicaid cuts, high prescription costs, or underfunded public education. Beyond Basic Advocacy: While research identifies health problems and advocacy brings them to light, politics is what actually shifts power to implement long-term policy solutions. National Impact of Local & State Races: State-level policies directly affect child wellness, and supporting candidates who center family and child health shapes national legislative conversations.

P.M. Edition for Sept. 14. Industry leaders' calls for a slowdown in AI development are rippling through tech, government and financial markets. As some look at what more guardrails could look like in practice, some—including President Trump—say they're unnecessary since they could give China a competitive leg up. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei discusses how the debate is going over there. Plus, chip stocks fell over the prospect of a pullback in spending on the AI buildout… and the 10-year yield briefly touched over 5% as instability in the Middle East pushed up oil prices. We hear from markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang about what drove market moves today. And Democrats have momentum as they eye control of Congress. But as WSJ national political reporter Eliza Collins explains, there are also risks that could trip them up. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
