Episode #1091
SN 1091: The Post BlackHat State of AI - When AI Writes Malware
Aug 11, 20262h 51m
AI agents are breaking free from their test environments, outsmarting their creators and breaching real-world networks in ways that no one predicted. Discover how these agentic models are changing the game for both cyber offense and defense. Anthropic's agentic AI also broke free and hacked others. We know much (much!) more about the OpenAI breakout. OpenAI posts that they're pausing "Astra" - even internally. What was that about AI recently cracking (or denting) cryptography. Bruce Schneier brilliantly equates AI agents to capricious genies. Apple doesn't react so well to the new deluge of security reports. Chrome 149 + 150 updates together fix 1,072 bugs.

This episode unpacks how AI is now turbocharging extortion and negotiations on the dark side. The "bone crushing" didn't happen this month. Revisiting and inspecting July's Patch Tuesday. A widespread and worrisome flaw in OpenSSL. Claude can now access your 1Password credentials. Bitwarden is aware that we need whole new security. The day ends in "y" so a new prompt injection attack.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
