On with Kara Swisher · The Cyberattack We’re Not Ready For · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

And I think we are about to enter what is truly the everything everywhere all at once cyber scenario, which is anyone who has any interest in.

in hacking you will now have the tools to do so, whether that is me pissing off North Korea because of a podcast or Sony putting out a movie or anyone that just has some dark interest in watching the world burn will now have these capabilities.

And all of them will come at us at machine speed.

So on offense, I think it's very clear that AI will give the bad guys the advantage, the offensive advantage.

The hope is, though, that AI will also help us defensively to do the things that we with our puny human minds were never able to do before, like write secure code, handle configuration, ensure that we have multi-factor authentication turned on at scale.

make sure that our vendors, at least interrogate our vendors to make sure that they're not our biggest weak points.

These are things where AI could create tremendous up-leveling on defense.

I think it's just a question of what is the delta between where we are now.

Well, I think it's fair to call this a giant shitshow.

I don't dispute anything you just said, but I think it comes down to beefing and who's kissed the ring and who hasn't adequately kissed the ring properly.

But man, we have real supply chain risks in the United States, many of which I've called out in my reporting.

TP-Link routers were one.

DeepSeek is one.

These are the real supply chain risks.

So I think it says a lot that this administration went for Anthropic, I think, because of these conversations between Pete Hegseth, who I went to college with,

and Dario.

I think they both actually spent some time at my alma mater.

Anyway, no, Pete Hexeth, he was famous when we were in college for being part of this right-wing organization that put out this magazine with an owl on the cover in crosshairs.

An owl stood for Organization of Women Leaders.

So he's always sort of been like this.
