## Resource

Chris and Hector break down a defense contractor caught faking cybersecurity compliance, Germany's growing push away from U.S. cloud providers, the ongoing Anthropic AI controversy, and a FIFA vulnerability that could have exposed critical World Cup systems. Plus, they answer listener questions on how modern hackers actually gain access to corporate networks.
