Welcome back CyberDudes! This week, we’re diving into some of the biggest cybersecurity stories. Together, we’ll talk about why employees are still feeding sensitive data into generative AI tools and how attackers could exploit this information through clever prompt engineering.

We’re also unpacking the U.S. sanctions targeting North Korean IT worker networks. These groups fund weapons programs through shell companies and complicit individuals, and we’ll discuss why solutions like “return to office” aren’t the answer to vetting remote hires.

Finally, we’re revisiting the TikTok ban—or, as it turns out, the pause on it. Since recording, the self-interested orange scumbag now in the White House has delayed the ban, leaving the app’s future uncertain. We’ll reflect on the national security arguments for the ban and why businesses betting their entire strategy on TikTok might be regretting it.
