Ep. 60 - The Puppet Masters: Mustang Panda's Long Con Against ASEAN Diplomats

When a tired EU diplomat clicks "connect" on an airport Wi-Fi portal, his briefing—and his government's secrets—end up in Chengdu. Hosts Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley unpack Mustang Panda (APT27 / Bronze President), the Chinese threat group running the long con against NGOs, ASEAN ministries, and Tibetan and Uyghur activists. Inside: captive-portal Wi-Fi Pineapples that bypass MFA, PlugX side-loading through legitimate apps, and the USB worm that jumps air-gapped military networks.

Cato CTRL Threat Brief: AI, Zero-Days, and the US-China Cyber Arms Race

Underlying the US–China AI race, there’s arguably a more sinister arms race—the race to identify zero-day threats. Frontier AI algorithms, such as Anthropic Mythos (here) and China’s Qihoo 360 (here), are compressing the zero-day discovery cycle. But how those discoveries are gathered and shared among cooperating entities is giving China significant defensive and offensive advantages.

The Security Illusion: Why Your AI Security Tool Won't Save You (And Neither Will Your Traditional API Security)

The enterprise security world is having two separate conversations that desperately need to collide. On one side, application security (AppSec) teams are scrambling to secure APIs – the connective tissue of every modern application. On the other, a new wave of “AI security” vendors promise to protect your LLMs from prompt injection, data leakage, and hallucinations. Both groups are solving real problems. Both are missing half the picture.

Three ways intelligent workflows enhance network security

Network security is operationally complex. It involves constant triage, approvals, and monitoring, spread across a range of tools, teams, and environments. Traditionally, this requires teams to do a significant amount of time-consuming, repetitive, and draining manual work, resulting in a longer MTTR and leaving many practitioners overwhelmed and burnt out. The problem isn’t in the tools they use – it’s in the work that happens between tools.

How Family-Focused Legal Services Help Protect Long-Term Stability

Families today are navigating a level of legal complexity that previous generations simply didn't face. Blended households. Digital assets. Aging parents who need care and protection. Custody arrangements that shift as kids grow. Any one of these challenges can unravel a family's stability if it isn't handled with care, and most families aren't prepared. That's not a criticism; it's just reality. The good news? Investing in family-focused legal services is one of the most meaningful decisions you can make for the people you love most.

Understanding How Decision-Making Rights Are Assigned in Advance

Here's a truth most people learn the hard way: you don't think about who controls your future until that future is already unraveling. A sudden hospitalization. A business dispute. A cognitive decline nobody saw coming. By then, the window for calm, deliberate planning has closed, and what replaces it is stress, legal delays, and family conflict.

How to Choose the Best Tech Stack to Support Your Sales Team

If your sales team is to win new clients and upsell to your existing client base, it needs all the support it can get. The current financial climate means that businesses are under more pressure than ever before to perform efficiently and deliver results at a time when companies have less money to spend. For B2B enterprises, this creates additional challenges that extend way beyond the normal barriers to attracting new clients and closing sales. So, finding additional ways to support your sales team is a must.
