## Resource

US Puts $10M Bounty on Russian Hackers, Supreme Court Limits Geofence Warrants, New phishing campaign targets hotels, AI Coding Agents Tricked into Malware and Canada's Electronic Spies Go After Ransomware Gangs. The episode covers the US State Department's up to $10 million reward for information on Russia-linked hacker groups UNC 5792 and UNC 4221 tied to phishing campaigns that compromise Signal and WhatsApp accounts by stealing Signal backup recovery keys. It also explains a US Supreme Court 6–3 ruling limiting geofence warrants by recognizing Fourth Amendment privacy protections for phone location data and requiring probable cause and narrower requests. Mozilla ODIN researchers demonstrate a proof of concept where a clean GitHub repo can cause AI coding agents to run an init command that executes attacker-controlled code via DNS and opens a reverse shell. A hotel-focused phishing campaign using Calendly and Google redirects delivers ZIP files that install the Tonrat implant through PowerShell and a user-space Node.js runtime. Finally, Canada's CSE says it disrupted infrastructure used by 10 major ransomware groups and reports incident volumes rising nearly 26% year over year. 00:24 Top Headlines Rundown 00:54 10 Million Bounty Russian Hackers 02:42 Supreme Court Limits Geofence Warrants 03:56 AI Coding Agent Repo Trap 05:31 Listener Thanks And Reviews 05:51 Hotel Front Desk Phishing Attack 08:01 Canada Disrupts Ransomware Gangs 09:45 Closing And Sign Off
