    This episode covers a wave of critical security developments, from an Armenian national pleading guilty to deploying Ryuk ransomware to a severe authentication bypass being actively exploited in Gitea's Docker image. Adrian also digs into GhostLock, a fifteen-year-old Linux kernel flaw that's been hiding in plain sight, reminding us that even the most scrutinized code still harbors ghosts.
