Think your organisation has until 2038 to worry about the next Y2K? Think again. The Year 2038 problem isn't just lurking in the future—it's already breaking systems today. Any software calculating dates beyond 2038, from 30-year mortgages to long-term infrastructure planning, could be falling over this bug right now.
In Episode 56 of Priviso Live, Lyn, John, and Stephen tackle the critical intersection of legacy vulnerabilities and cutting-edge AI threats. We explore OpenAI's latest threat intelligence report, revealing over 40 networks using AI for malicious purposes—from sophisticated phishing campaigns to deceptive employment schemes. The scary part? Low-skilled criminals are now "punching above their weight" thanks to AI's force multiplier effect.
We also dive into Google's massive Gemini Enterprise rollout and what it means for corporate security. When you're giving AI access to data across Box, Microsoft, and Salesforce, the productivity gains are real—but so is the attack surface.
But here's where it gets fascinating: we travel back to Victorian England to meet Ada Lovelace, whose work on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine laid the groundwork for everything we're grappling with today. She didn't just write the first computer program—she envisioned a future where machines could create art, process language, and be creative partners. Sound familiar?
As we celebrate Ada Lovelace Day on October 14th, her "poetical science"—combining logic and imagination—feels more relevant than ever.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
