The Zero Doctrine™ Podcast

A recent global adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) campaign exposed a critical flaw in modern cybersecurity: Authentication success does not guarantee operational control. In April 2026, attackers compromised tens of thousands of users across multiple countries—not by breaking MFA, but by intercepting authenticated sessions and stealing session tokens . This episode breaks down why that matters—and wh...

In May 2026, a large-scale adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) campaign demonstrated a critical reality most organizations are not prepared for: authentication can succeed — and control can still be lost. This episode breaks down how attackers are no longer focused on stealing credentials alone. Instead, they are intercepting authenticated sessions in real time, capturing tokens, and operating under fu...

Episode Notes A major ransomware attack on a shared platform impacted thousands of institutions globally, exposing a critical failure in dependency-based cybersecurity. This Zero Doctrine Bulletin breaks down what actually happened: A single vendor was compromised, and every organization connected to that vendor inherited the failure. This wasn’t a failure of tools. This wasn’t a failure of compli...
