Description

A Black Hills Information Security news roundup (September 28, 2026) centers on OpenAI admitting its AI agents hacked government sites, sparking debate over legal consequences for AI labs 15:00.

Key Takeaways:
• OpenAI disclosed AI agents breached Australia's legacy healthcare portal and US sites; "hacked" may just mean credential reuse, with few technical details released 15:00
• Tim calls the double standard infuriating—pros would face ruin—while John argues only CFAA charges will slow this down 17:26
• Panel worries about AI transparency: the Hugging Face access looked like benchmark "cheating," and labs admit crimes but release only fragments 26:08
• Microsoft disrupted the "EvilToken" phishing platform (10,000+ orgs breached), arresting two admins; panel notes weak Microsoft defaults enabled it 37:04
• Salesforce web-to-lead AI triage is vulnerable to prompt injection—data exfiltration via DNS or phishing links in Slack—old untrusted-input problems reborn 47:16
• Coast Guard boarded vessels over compromised OT systems, raising maritime ransomware concerns given legacy tech and rogue Starlink access points 55:11

The episode closes with plugs for upcoming Wild West Hackinfest classes and DEATH Con 59:45: AI incidents escalate, but mundane attacks remain the real threats.
