Storm Watch | Cyber Podcast | Cybercrime Evolution: Robot Dog Backdoors & Mob's Digital Takeover
Summary: This episode of GreyNoise's Storm Watch podcast covers the Zhexi Oray Tunnel backdoor disclosed in the Unitree Go1 consumer-grade robot dog, along with the FamousSparrow threat actor's SparrowDoor malware. It also notes Broadcom's VMware licensing changes effective April 10, raising minimum core requirements from 16 to 72 cores per command line with a retroactive 20% penalty for late subscription renewals, and reviews Europol's 2025 report on organized crime's use of AI, blockchain, and cryptocurrency.
What you should know: Europol's report finds criminal asset confiscation remains stagnant at around 2%, meaning the technology-driven criminal enterprises described are largely keeping what they take.
