Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Siegel

In this episode, we return with Part 2 of our discussion with Bill Siegel, the CEO of Coveware. We look closely at Coveware itself (and its history), the scope of Coveware's services, how threat actor negotiations unfold, banning ransom payments, the role of the cyber simulation and what makes a good simulation. We also discussed the role of the board during an incident and managed to squeeze some cyber predictions out of Bill, including the impacts of AI on the cyber landscape. This is a “must listen” episode!

Part 1 covers a range of issues including the establishment of Coveware, the value of good data, cyber extortion payment trends, cyber extortion “business models” and the challenging geopolitics we all face.

The new Hollywood film “Judas and the Black Messiah” is based on the lives of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and the person who betrayed him, FBI informant William O'Neal. The film's director Shaka King has credited documentaries for playing a key role in his research. One of his main influences was “Eyes on the Prize II” (1990) that scored the journalistic feat of interviewing O'Neal after he had gone into a federal witness protection program. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviews four members of the “Eyes” team - directors Louis Massiah and Terry Kay Rockefeller along with researchers Noland Walker and co-director Bennett Singer. They describe how they got O'Neal to talk, why questions still linger about his reported suicide, and the legacy of the Black Panthers.Further resources:- Learn more about our guests: Louis Massiah (executive director, Scribe Video Center), Terry Kay Rockefeller, Bennett Singer (co-director, Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin and Cured), Noland Walker (co-programmer, ITVS's Independent Lens)- Watch all 14 episodes of Eyes on the Prize on Kanopy This podcast conversation touches upon episode 9 “Power!” about the Black Panthers and especially focuses on episode 12 “A Nation of Law?” both co-directed by Louis Massiah and Terry Kay Rockefeller.

Where does it all start?  Sully believes it begins with "the dangers of government."  The abuse of power, fear mongering, paranoia, deception and cover ups- that's where it, starts.  It, has a consequence. People begin to pay attention, begin to doubt and question the motives of their government.  When "the people" begin to act and demand accountability and transparency, people in power start to get caught. People like Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon. Movements and scenes emerge like the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), The Black Panthers and The Weather Underground.  Both Ken Hughes' book, Chasing Shadows and Ronald Brownsteins', The Second Civil War, are the blueprints for these two episodes, while Good Morning Vietnam, Apocalypse Now and the documentary The Weather Underground directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel help provide humor and context.  All of this set on a backdrop of folk, punk and rock music.  What was the media's impact on students and civilians alike by televising the Vietnam War?  Who was the Dragon Lady and why were the Paris peace talks sabotaged?  What were the political identities of newspapers and how did people rely on such magazines as Time and Life?  As these questions find answers, more questions undoubtedly unfold.  Whether you are a Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Communist, Liberal or maybe just a punk, this is the historical hootenanny to listen to.  Let the likes of Nina Simone, The Temptations, Dead Kennedys, and Barbara Dane chime into the conversation with such song's as "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free", "Holiday in Cambodia", and "Ballad of the Unknown Soldier".  These songs and their lyrics hold as much weight about this era as any book or conversation.  Much like the Folk Music Revival so eloquently documented in the book "Folk City: New York and the American Folk Music Revival" by Stephen Petrus and Ronald D. Cohen, John Flanagin brings thoughtful nuanced sensibilities to a time when everyone was being sent, in the words of Joe Strummer, "straight to hell."  List of songs that are in this episode and songs that should be:russian roulette, exhuming mccarthy, straight to hell, charlie don't surf, holiday in cambodia, ballad of the unknown soldier, I don't want your millions mister, ball of confusion, ride of the valkyries, run through the jungle, I wish I knew how it would feel to be free, funkier than a mosquito's tweeter, draft dodger rag, subterranean homesick blues, hurricane, shot of love, ohio, for what it's worth, ripple, dire wolf, hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic, going in circles, why do I keep fuckin' up, after the gold rush (full album), comes a time (full album), hot buttered soul (full album), black moses (full album), wake of the flood (full album), terrapin station (full album).
