This week’s briefing covers: Dive deeper.

The CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report is now live! The report sheds light on how our threat hunters and analysts hunt and defend against the world’s most sophisticated adversaries. It’s packed with stories from the front lines and trends that define the modern threat landscape.

Learn how to use USDC Gateway in Fireblocks to hold one unified USDC balance across chains and move it without managing per-chain inventory yourself. In this walkthrough, Matt from Fireblocks activates a Gateway wallet, makes a deposit, sets up recurring deposit automation, and withdraws to another chain, showing each step in both the API (Postman) and the Console UI. You'll also see how withdrawals pull gas from your USDC balance, so you don't need to hold native gas on the destination chain.

This week on the podcast, we review HuggingFace's technical write up of their recent run in with a rogue OpenAI model, as well as their CEO's demands from OpenAI in response. We then cover an interesting research whitepaper that describes a side channel attack that could let AI transcribe typed text by an audio recording alone. We end with a threat intelligence report about DNS Poisoning attacks against hotel Wi-Fi systems.

AI didn't just speed up software development, it changed what application security programs must defend. As AI coding assistants generate code at machine speed and developers integrate AI agents, models, and RAG pipelines into production, traditional scanners generate endless backlogs of unprioritized alerts.
