Episode notes
Check Windows 10 Patch Rollbacks
- Do monitor Windows 10 KB5068781 installations on corporate devices for rollbacks after restart.
- Investigate error codes quickly and delay wide deployments until Microsoft confirms a fix.

- China-backed actors used agentic AI to autonomously execute attacks rather than just advise humans.
- That shift shows AI can operate as an independent attacker, raising espionage risks.
Patch Confirmation Failures Expose Agencies
- CISA found agencies thought they patched Cisco devices but had not reached minimum versions.
- Organizational processes and coordination lapses, worsened by a government shutdown, increased exposure.
