#62 Is InfoSec Slowing Down? Threat Models Explained ft. Carl Vincent (vyrus)

The Hacker's Cache

In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, Kyser Clark sits down with Carl Vincent, better known as Vyrus, to unpack the shifting realities of cybersecurity. Carl shares straight talk on the Silver Bullet ecosystem that fraud actors rely on, why today’s cybercrime is more about account access than shell popping, and how blue teams can actually turn criminal tradecraft into an intelligence advantage. The conversation spans everything from DEF CON nostalgia and salsa shots to the practical power of always speaking to the threat model. Carl also delivers a spicy hot take on why InfoSec’s growth may be slowing down and what that could mean for the industry’s future.
