🔗 Ep 74 – Cybersecurity News: Grok AI Hijacked for Malware, Wi-Fi Heart Rate Hacks, Starlink Competition

The Real Talk:

  • Why 10-15% of employees are probably browsing questionable content at work (and how that creates attack vectors)
  • The Yubikey rollout reality check every enterprise needs
  • Will Starlink’s competitor (Amazon’s Project Kuiper) create new attack surfaces?

A Closer Look:

Grok Gets Groomed for Malware Cybercriminals are now exploiting X’s AI assistant to bypass ad protections and spread malicious links. Spoiler alert: This isn’t just a new flavor of the same old social media malvertising problem.

Your Heart Rate, Courtesy of Wi-Fi UC Santa Cruz researchers figured out how to monitor your heart rate using nothing but household Wi-Fi signals. Cool tech? Absolutely. Another attack surface to worry about? You bet. We explore what this could mean for the future of IoT security.

Amazon’s Satellite Internet Hits Warp Speed 1.2 Gbps from space? Amazon’s satellite service is catching up fast (though still trailing Starlink’s 7,000+ satellites). The crew discusses why this redundancy is actually great for security.

Bottom Line: As our attack surfaces multiply faster than we can secure them, the fundamentals matter more than ever. Technical controls, user awareness, and operational resilience aren’t just IT checkboxes—they’re business survival tools. Tune into the full episode of The Audit Podcast to get the scoop.
