When attackers gain the authority to act, even strong technology can fall short.

This week on What Matters in Cyber, Steve examines the reported Binance theft and what it tells us about transaction approvals, signing authority and trust.

Also in this episode:

• Malicious Claude Code builds distributed through the Cursor marketplace, and what developers should check.
• The PHP2Shell update and the risks of exposed management interfaces.
• Microsoft’s research into how North Korean operators use AI, with humans still directing the activity.
• Google’s plans for more controlled environments for AI agents.
• Practical Monday priorities covering developer tools, patching and high-impact approval processes.

In “My Take,” Steve connects the stories with one question: are we protecting access, or also controlling what happens after access is granted?
