In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some intel being shared in the LimaCharlie community.

• Researchers are raising concerns about a new cybersecurity risk emerging from the systems that regulate electrical power inside modern electronics and infrastructure. • Japan’s financial sector is responding to concerns around Anthropic’s new AI model, Claude Mythos, which some officials believe could significantly impact cybersecurity. • Docker and Socket researchers discovered that malicious images were pushed to the official checkmarx/kics Docker Hub repository, indicating a supply chain compromise affecting the KICS infrastructure-as-code scanning tool. • JFrog security researchers identified a malicious npm package published as @bitwarden/cli version 2026.4.0 that impersonates the legitimate Bitwarden command-line client.
