Staples Gift Card Hack, Nikkei's Third Breach, Burger King Japan Leak, Broadcom Wi‑Fi "Foreverday," and Ledger Spy Implants
Host David Shipley covers a Chinese crime ring that breached Staples by abusing heap dump requests to hijack customer service sessions, issuing over 15,000 gift cards worth more than $5 million and redeeming thousands at retailers before merchandise was shipped to China; three Chinese nationals were sentenced and DOJ says the wider ring obtained over $100 million in gift cards.
The episode also details Nikkei's third breach in a month, where stolen credentials exposed 1.83 million cloud records, plus prior incidents involving compromised Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts.
Burger King Japan reports attackers accessed its app server and stole 11 million customer records.
The show highlights an unpatched Broadcom WPS flaw enabling nearby root code execution on vulnerable routers, and Ledger-confirmed hardware wallet implants from a reseller designed to steal seed phrases over LTE.
