Beauceron CEO David Shipley dives into these stories and more in this episode of Cybersecurity Today.

Mac malware called “Gaslight,” attributed to North Korea-aligned actors, plants fake system messages designed to derail AI-based analysis while stealing data and exfiltrating it via a Telegram bot.
