Hackers Weaponize AI While Russia’s Cozy Bear Hijacks Microsoft 365
This week on Security Squawk, Randy and Bryan tackle two major cyber stories shaping 2025. First, Anthropic admits hackers are weaponizing its AI tools, giving cybercriminals a terrifying new advantage in building attacks faster than ever. Then, Bryan breaks down how Amazon disrupted a sophisticated campaign by Russia's APT29 (Cozy Bear), which abused Microsoft 365 device code authentication and cloud infrastructure to hijack accounts at scale. We explain how hackers are using AI to supercharge cybercrime, why APT29's tactics mark a dangerous evolution from past campaigns like SolarWinds and NotPetya, and what this means for businesses, IT professionals, and MSPs. Tune in for sharp insights, real-world examples, and practical takeaways to keep your defenses strong. ️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
