Byron Sharp is a distinctive assets maximalist, suggesting how brands look and are recognised and embedded into people’s minds is more important than focusing on what they do differently to rival brands. Mark Ritson argues brands need differentiation to stand out from rivals and pull customers in. News Australia says you need both to drive growth – and that custom-made media that delivers engagement beyond reach is a critical multiplier.News Australia has just wrapped up its nationwide agency engagement roadshow, Frontiers, diving deep with hundreds of agency execs across dozens of workshops to unpack how to cut through and deliver much sharper results amid a comms sea of sameness. The key is moving beyond old-school approaches of tonnage-based reach and the legacy constructs of ‘paid, owned and earned’ media. Case studies for CommBank, NRMA Insurance, Subway and Toblerone strongly suggest the approach is working: Subway notched 3 per cent sales gains; NRMA Insurance and News Australia’s positive influence helped secure $7.2bn in government funding to fix Queensland’s Bruce Highway. Unsurprisingly, more Queenslanders now like NRMA Insurance than before.Now News Australia wants to work with agencies and brands to build better campaigns and more case studies. But that requires a shift in approach to planning and content creation. It’s harder work, says GM of Client Growth & Experience, Renee Sycamore, but powerful results prove “the effort definitely pays off”. The key to achieving “distinctively different” campaigns says Head of Growth Intelligence, Leigh Lavery, is to focus on three critical elements: Making content magnetic (i.e. it gets attention); momentous (i.e. contextually relevant, capturing the zeitgeist) and meaningful (i.e. saying and doing something that adds value to customers). But going against conventional wisdom on mass reach may also be required. As National Head of Digital Strategy and Streaming Dianna Molinaro puts it: “Everyone’s got reach … but what our agency partners and marketers really care about is the impact.” Likewise, everyone has data: “It’s about what we do with it.” Now News Australia is powering custom-made media with behavioural audience signals across the network to connect intent and content. Molinaro says data-driven relevance is where the growth gold lies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

* Banks at Risk: Nearly 100 Staff Logins Stolen by Cybercriminals* 'AirBorne' Vulnerabilities Expose Apple Devices to Remote Code Execution Attacks* WhatsApp Introduces 'Private Processing' for Secure Cloud-Based AI Features* Microsoft Warns Default Kubernetes Helm Charts Create Security Vulnerabilities* Security Concerns Grow Over Electric Vehicles as Potential Surveillance PlatformsBanks at Risk: Nearly 100 Staff Logins Stolen by Cybercriminalshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-01/bank-employee-data-stolen-with-malware-and-sold-online/105232872Cyber criminals have stolen almost 100 staff logins from Australia's "Big Four" banks, potentially exposing these financial institutions to serious cyber threats including data theft and ransomware attacks, according to recent findings from cyber intelligence firm Hudson Rock.The compromised credentials belong to current and former employees and contractors at ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, and Westpac, with ANZ and Commonwealth Bank experiencing the highest number of breaches. All stolen credentials included corporate email addresses with access to official bank domains."There are around 100 compromised employees that are related to those four banks," said Hudson Rock analyst Leonid Rozenberg. While this number is significantly smaller than the 31,000 customer banking passwords recently reported stolen, the security implications could be more severe."Technically, [attackers] need only one [login] to do a lot of damage," Rozenberg warned.The credentials were stolen between 2021 and April 2025 using specialized "infostealer" malware designed to harvest sensitive data from infected devices. These stolen credentials have subsequently appeared on Telegram and dark web marketplaces.Security experts explain that these breaches could potentially give hackers "initial access" to the banks' corporate networks. While banks employ additional security measures such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), specialized cybercriminals known as "initial access brokers" focus on finding ways around these protections, often targeting employees working from home.The investigation also uncovered a concerning number of compromised third-party service credentials connected to these banks, with ANZ having more than 100 such breaches and NAB more than 70. These compromised services could include critical communication and project management tools like Slack, JIRA, and Salesforce.All four banks have responded by stating they have multiple safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized access. NAB reports actively scanning cybercrime forums to monitor threats, while CommBank noted investing over $800 million in cybersecurity and financial crime prevention last financial year.The Australian Signals Directorate has already warned that infostealer infections have led to successful attacks on Australian businesses, highlighting that this threat extends beyond the banking sector to organizations across all industries.'AirBorne' Vulnerabilities Expose Apple Devices to Remote Code Execution Attackshttps://www.oligo.security/blog/airborneSecurity researchers at Oligo Security have uncovered a serious set of vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol and software development kit (SDK) that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on affected devices without user interaction. These flaws, collectively dubbed "AirBorne," affect millions of Apple and third-party devices worldwide.The security team discovered 23 distinct vulnerabilities that enable various attack vectors, including zero-click and one-click remote code execution, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Perhaps most concerning are two specific flaws (CVE-2025-24252 and CVE-2025-24132) that researchers demonstrated could create "wormable" zero-click attacks, potentially spreading from device to device across networks.Another critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-24206) enables attackers to bypass the "Accept" prompt normally required for AirPlay connections, creating a pathway for truly zero-interaction compromises when combined with other flaws."This means that an attacker can take over certain AirPlay-enabled devices and do things like deploy malware that spreads to devices on any local network the infected device connects to," warned Oligo. "This could lead to the delivery of other sophisticated attacks related to espionage, ransomware, supply-chain attacks, and more."While exploitation is limited to attackers on the same network as vulnerable devices, the potential impact is extensive. Apple reports over 2.35 billion active devices worldwide, and Oligo estimates tens of millions of additional third-party AirPlay-compatible products like speakers, TVs, and car infotainment systems could be affected.Apple released security updates on March 31 to address these vulnerabilities across their product line, including patches for iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, macOS versions (Ventura 13.7.5, Sonoma 14.7.5, and Sequoia 15.4), and visionOS 2.4 for Apple Vision Pro. The company also updated the AirPlay audio and video SDKs and the CarPlay Communication Plug-in.Security experts strongly advise all users to immediately update their Apple devices and any third-party AirPlay-enabled products. Additional protective measures include disabling AirPlay receivers when not in use, restricting AirPlay access to trusted devices via firewall rules, and limiting AirPlay permissions to the current user only.WhatsApp Introduces 'Private Processing' for Secure Cloud-Based AI Featureshttps://engineering.fb.com/2025/04/29/security/whatsapp-private-processing-ai-tools/Meta's WhatsApp has announced a new privacy-focused technology called 'Private Processing' that will allow users to access advanced artificial intelligence features while maintaining data security. The system is designed to enable AI functionalities like message summarization and writing suggestions that are too computationally intensive to run directly on users' devices.The new feature, which will be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks, will be entirely opt-in and disabled by default, giving users complete control over when their data leaves their device for AI processing.Private Processing employs several layers of security to protect user privacy. When activated, the system first performs anonymous authentication through the user's WhatsApp client. It then retrieves public encryption keys from a third-party content delivery network (CDN), ensuring Meta cannot trace requests back to specific individuals.To further enhance privacy, users' devices connect to Meta's gateway through a third-party relay that masks their real IP addresses. The connection establishes a secure session between the user's device and Meta's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), using remote attestation and TLS protocols.All requests for AI processing use end-to-end encryption with ephemeral keys, and the processing occurs inside a Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) that remains isolated from Meta's main systems. According to Meta, the processing environment is stateless, with all messages deleted after processing, retaining only "non-sensitive" logs."The AI-generated response is encrypted with a unique key only known to the device and processing CVM and is sent back over the secure session for decryption on the user's device," the company explained.To build trust in the system, WhatsApp has promised to share the CVM binary and portions of the source code for external validation. The company also plans to publish a detailed white paper explaining the secure design principles behind Private Processing.Despite these security measures, privacy experts note that sending sensitive data to cloud servers always carries some inherent risk, even with robust encryption in place. Users concerned about data privacy can either keep the feature disabled or utilize WhatsApp's recently launched 'Advanced Chat Privacy' feature, which provides more granular control over when data can leave the device.Microsoft Warns Default Kubernetes Helm Charts Create Security Vulnerabilitieshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftdefendercloudblog/the-risk-of-default-configuration-how-out-of-the-box-helm-charts-can-breach-your/4409560Microsoft security researchers have issued an urgent warning about significant security risks posed by default configurations in Kubernetes deployments, particularly when using out-of-the-box Helm charts. These configurations can inadvertently expose sensitive data to the public internet without proper authentication protections.According to a new report from Michael Katchinskiy and Yossi Weizman of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Research, many popular Helm charts lack basic security measures, often leaving exploitable ports open and implementing weak or hardcoded passwords that are easy to compromise."Default configurations that lack proper security controls create a severe security threat," the Microsoft researchers warn. "Without carefully reviewing the YAML manifests and Helm charts, organizations may unknowingly deploy services lacking any form of protection, leaving them fully exposed to attackers."Kubernetes has become a widely adopted open-source platform for automating containerized application deployment and management, with Helm serving as its package manager. Helm charts function as templates or blueprints that define resources needed to run applications through YAML files. While these charts offer convenience by simplifying complex deployments, their default settings often prioritize ease of use over security.The report highlights three specific examples demonstrating this widespread issue. Apache Pinot's Helm chart exposes core services through Kubernetes LoadBalancer services with no authentication requirements. Meshery allows public sign-up from exposed IP addresses, potentially giving anyone registration access to cluster operations. Meanwhile, Selenium Grid exposes services across all nodes in a cluster through NodePort, relying solely on external firewall rules for protection.The Selenium Grid vulnerability is particularly concerning as cybersecurity firms including Wiz have already observed attacks targeting misconfigured instances to deploy XMRig miners for cryptocurrency mining.Organizations using Kubernetes are advised to implement several key mitigation strategies. Microsoft recommends thoroughly reviewing default configurations of Helm charts before deployment, ensuring they include proper authentication mechanisms and network isolation. Regular scans for misconfigurations that might publicly expose workload interfaces are crucial, as is continuous monitoring of containers for suspicious activity.The findings underscore a critical tension in cloud deployment between convenience and security, with many users — particularly those inexperienced with cloud security — inadvertently creating vulnerabilities by deploying charts without customizing their security settings.Security Concerns Grow Over Electric Vehicles as Potential Surveillance Platformshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/29/source-of-data-are-electric-cars-vulnerable-to-cyber-spies-and-hackersCybersecurity experts are raising alarms about the potential for electric vehicles to be exploited as surveillance tools, particularly those manufactured in China, according to recent reports from the UK.British defense firms working with the UK government have reportedly warned staff against connecting their phones to Chinese-made electric cars due to concerns that Beijing could extract sensitive information from their devices. The warning highlights growing security considerations around the increasingly sophisticated technology embedded in modern electric vehicles.Security specialists interviewed by The Guardian note that electric vehicles are equipped with multiple data collection points, including microphones, cameras, and wireless connectivity features that could potentially be leveraged by malicious actors or hostile states."There are lots of opportunities to collect data and therefore lots of opportunities to compromise a vehicle like that," explains Rafe Pilling, director of threat intelligence at cybersecurity firm Secureworks. He points out that over-the-air update capabilities, which allow manufacturers to remotely update a car's operating software, could potentially be used to exfiltrate data.The concerns are particularly focused on individuals in sensitive positions. "If you are an engineer who is working on a sixth-generation fighter jet and you have a work phone that you are connecting to your personal vehicle, you need to be aware that by connecting these devices you could be allowing access to data on your mobile," warns Joseph Jarnecki, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers such as BYD and XPeng have drawn particular scrutiny due to China's National Intelligence Law of 2017, which requires organizations and citizens to cooperate with national intelligence efforts. However, experts also note there is currently no public evidence of Chinese vehicles being used for espionage.Cybersecurity professionals suggest that concerned drivers can click "don't trust" when connecting devices to their vehicles, but this sacrifices many convenient features. They also caution against syncing personal devices with rental cars, as this can leave sensitive data in the vehicle's systems.The UK government has acknowledged the issue, with Defence Minister Lord Coaker stating they are "working with other government departments to understand and mitigate any potential threats to national security from vehicles." He emphasized that their work applies to all types of vehicles, not just those manufactured in China.While the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) maintains that all manufacturers selling cars in the UK must adhere to data privacy regulations, the growing integration of connected technologies in electric vehicles continues to raise new security considerations for both government officials and everyday consumers alike.

Listen to an inspiring story that begins not in a boardroom, but in the most unexpected of places: a fruit and vegetable aisle. We delve into the incredible journey of Can4Cancer, a Commbank employee-driven initiative that has raised a staggering $20 million for vital cancer research! Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank) is one of the largest banks in Australia with over 48,000 employees.We hear from a range of people making this dream come to life from the CEO of Commbank Matt Comyn, to the researchers benefiting from the cause and where the money is being used. We'll journey back to that very first Can4Cancer event, a remarkable feat involving over 140 riders, showcasing the dedication and hard work that laid the foundation for this extraordinary success."...As scientists doing what we're doing, seeing there's a whole community there supporting us really helps us to get out of bed in the morning and go "this is why!"...we have a responsibility to all these people who have put their lives on hold a little bit to do the training, to get the money, and and that's what we're then the way then using for our research..."- Jeff Holst, Cancer Researcher and recipient of Can4Cancer funding.This isn't just a story about fundraising; it's a testament to the power of human connection and collective action.

The name of this Wests Tigers Podcast edition is simply two questions, and we have plenty more! Joel Helmes, Eddie Otto, Steve Stretton, and Garry Watson are on deck for this later-than-usual post-game edition of the pod. As we know, Wests Tigers succumbed to the Eels on Monday afternoon. That result leads us to some big questions that we try to answer, including: When it comes to big events like this, why don't we often turn up as a team? Should we play home games against the Eels at CommBank Stadium? Did the club make some mistakes last week in regards to Lachlan Galvin? There are plenty of other things that get discussed as well, including the lies and manipulation in the rugby league media. What is stopping Jarome Luai from being more dominant in attack with the Wests Tigers? And we run through all the 'One Word' submissions from our valued Wests Tigers Podcast Forum members. Steve and Garry also let us know how the big Ambush event at Commbank stadium went, including info that came from guests Latu Fainu and Jeral Skelton. It's a bit of a different version of the Wests Tigers Podcast this time around, and we hope you enjoy it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Lachlan Galvin saga has continued this week, leading to this bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. After a strong debate after the story broke on Monday night, followed by more analysis by Eddie and the boys on Wednesday, we now have this third pod for the week. We take a look at the press conferences held by Benji Marshall, then Wests Tigers' captains, Api Koroisau and Jarome Luai. Joel, Garry, and Nick give their thoughts on what was said and why we're starting to see the potential positives of testing out the coach and players' responses to a situation like this. Most importantly, comparing that response to what we have seen in the past from our club and playing group. Is this going to be the issue that finally helps turn Wests Tigers into a more focused and battle-hardened team? Let's make a statement against the Eels! We then turn our attention to the big Monday afternoon clash with the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium. The Easter Monday fixture looks set to be a memorable encounter with the Wests Tigers no doubt out to tell the world they're bigger and better this year, with or without Galvin. The stats show Wests Tigers should be firm favourites, and the Eels have also lost a few players in recent days, but they do welcome back Mitch Moses for the game. We also look at the reshuffle of the Tiger's team, including the move to the halves for Adam Doueihi, and hopefully the remergence of Luai in Batman mode. The return of experienced centre Brent Naden also draws our attention. Big guests at the Ambush. Don't forget to get along to the free Ambush event before the game at CommBank, with two special guests ensuring it should be a memorable experience. Jeral Skelton will be a guest, as will Latu Fainu, and Garry will get the chance to interview both injured Wests Tigers stars. What we hear from Latu should be of particular interest! We hope you enjoy this bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
