In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some cutting-edge intel coming out of LimaCharlie’s community[Slack channel](https://slack.limacharlie.io/).

- Google has announced a $32 billion ALL CASH acquisition of the Israeli cybersecurity startup Wiz, making it one of the largest deals in the [company’s history](https://blog.google/inside-google/company-announcements/google-agreement-acquire-wiz/).
- A newly discovered zero-day vulnerability in Windows allows attackers to escalate privileges, potentially granting them full control over[affected systems](https://thehackernews.com/2025/03/unpatched-windows-zero-day-flaw.html).
- Security researchers have identified new intrusion techniques used by the SocGholish malware framework, which is increasingly being leveraged to [distribute ransomware](https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research/25/c/socgholishs-intrusion-techniques-facilitate-distribution-of-rans.html).
- Security researchers have uncovered a new technique that allows attackers to disable Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions using [Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC)](https://labs.beazley.security/articles/disabling-edr-with-wdac).
- Security researchers have discovered undocumented commands in a widely used Bluetooth chip, potentially exposing over a billion devices to [security risks](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/undocumented-commands-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/).
