What happens when 20,000 engineers descend on Amsterdam to talk about Kubernetes and AI? Welcome to Episode 1 of Live Laugh Logs, the podcast from Annie, Lewis and Andre from the Coralogix Developer Relations team where we will get together and recap everything going on in our worlds! We had an amazing time at KubeCon in Amsterdam and had loads of insights from the talks we went to around designing observability systems, all the AI tools being created and how to observe them, and using agent-generated code.

China-linked cyber groups have been hijacking everyday home routers—Linksys, Netgear, even small Cisco devices—and turning them into global proxy networks. That means an attacker can: This isn’t theoretical. In 2024–2025, massive botnets made of thousands of home routers were dismantled. The scariest part? Most people had no idea their device was involved.

A threat actor reportedly used a prompt injected AI model under the cover of a fake bug bounty story to help compromise government systems and extract large volumes of data. The case shows how jailbroken AI can become an active force multiplier for offensive operations, not merely a productivity tool.

AI agents with browser access can be manipulated into downloading and running malware disguised as a harmless support tool. It is social engineering for machines, where prompt injection turns an innocent browsing task into a full system compromise without any classic CVE in sight.

In this episode of This Week in NET, host João Tomé is joined by Chema Alonso, Vice President and Head of International Development at Cloudflare. Chema shares how a 1998 paper on SQL injection launched his career in hacking, his path from running a startup in Madrid to becoming a Microsoft MVP for 14 years, and how he ended up leading cybersecurity at Telefónica for more than a decade — after telling them “you don’t have enough money to make me work for you.” He also explains why he left Telefónica in 2025 to join Cloudflare, and what surprised him about the company’s technical depth.
