Episode Synopsis

The Nightmares Acquirers Often MissBehind the glossy surfaces of emerging tech and M&A deals lies a quiet but critical risk: compromised code, embedded threat actors, and the increasing industrialization of the cybercriminal ecosystem. In this episode, we’re diving into how tech built by startups, often developed with freelance labor and questionable security hygiene, is making its way into the infrastructure of critical industries through acquisition. We’ll talk about how cybercriminals are professionalizing—offering benefits packages and funding models that look suspiciously like venture capital—and how all of this combines with the rise of AI to create a much more dangerous threat landscape.
