SN 1096: Are we the Krell? - 153 Million Driver's Licenses Leaked

Sep 16, 2026 · 2h 50m

Summary

Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte analyze Microsoft’s record-breaking September Patch Tuesday, which included nearly 1,000 security fixes driven by their internal AI system, M-Dash. They contrast this with Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, noting that despite claiming thousands of AI-discovered vulnerabilities, only a small fraction have been confirmed or fixed due to human triage bottlenecks. The episode also covers the ease of removing personal data from brokers under California law, the theft of 153 million driver’s license scans, and a humorous look at Hugging Face’s security.txt file.
