Did Microsoft Just Kill Bug Bounties? Zero-Day Backlash & The Claude Mythos AI Threat

Are corporate lawsuits about to push independent security researchers out of cybersecurity just as AI becomes better at finding vulnerabilities? In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast, host Tom Hollingsworth joins Futurum Group’s Fernando Montenegro and cybersecurity architect Kate Scarcella to discuss Microsoft’s legal threats against researcher “Nightmare Eclipse,” the growing breakdown of coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and the risks facing independent security researchers. The panel also explores how Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing are accelerating AI-powered vulnerability discovery, what that means for the future of bug hunting, and why organizations are shifting toward Continuous Threat Exposure Management and stronger identity security for autonomous AI systems. This and more on Security Boulevard, part of The Futurum Group Podcast Network.
