The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken a significant step by voting to ban nearly all non-compete agreements, a move expected to have a substantial impact on the workforce and the economy. These agreements typically restrict workers from joining competing businesses or starting their own, with the aim of preventing workers from being trapped in abusive workplaces. Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which initially generated hype and sold out quickly, is now facing a significant decline in interest and sales. Customer complaints include issues such as impracticality in everyday use, discomfort, difficulty finding apps, and a sense of isolation. As a result, Apple is reportedly cutting its shipment forecast for the Vision Pro headset for the rest of the year due to cooling demand. The company now expects to sell only around 400,000 to 450,000 units in 2024, compared to the previous market consensus of 700,000 to 800,000 units. Three things to know today00:00 FTC Votes to Ban Noncompete Agreements, Predicting $300 Billion Wage Increase Annually05:23 Apple Cuts Vision Pro Headset Forecast Amid Cooling Demand, Delays Cheaper Model07:45 Veeam Enhances Cybersecurity Posture with Acquisition of Incident Response Firm Coveware   Supported by:  https://skykick.com/mspradio/https://huntress.com/mspradio/   All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/   Looking for a link from the stories?

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!

This is Episode 3 of Cross Examining Cyber, where we cross examine Bill Siegel, CEO & Co-Founder of Coveware. We could have talked to Bill for hours, so we have broken this podcast in two. 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. Here we go…

On June 7, 2021, the US Department of Justice announced a breakthrough: Less than one month after the oil and gas pipeline company Colonial Pipeline had paid its ransomware attackers roughly $4.4 million in bitcoin in exchange for a decryption key that would help the company get its systems back up and running, the government had in turn found where many of those bitcoins had gone, clawing back a remarkable $2.3 million from the cybercriminals. In cybercrime, this isn't supposed to happen—or at least it wasn't, until recently.  Cryptocurrency is vital to modern cybercrime. Every recent story you hear about a major ransomware attack involves the implicit demand from attackers to their victims for a payment made in cryptocurrency—and, almost always, the preferred cryptocurrency is bitcoin. In 2019, the ransomware negotiation and recovery company Coveware revealed that a full 98 percent of ransomware payments were made using bitcoin. Why is that? Well, partly because, for years, bitcoin received an inflated reputation for being truly "anonymous," as payments to specific "bitcoin addresses" could not, seemingly, be attached to specific persons behind those addresses. But cryptocurrency has matured. Major cryptocurrency exchanges do not want their platforms to be used to exchange stolen funds into local currencies for criminals, so they, in turn, work with law enforcement agencies that have, independently, gained a great deal of experience in understanding cybercrime. Improving the rate and quality of investigations has also been the advancement of technology that actually tracks cryptocurrency payments online.  All of these development don't necessarily mean that cybercriminals' identities can be easily revealed. But as Brian Carter, senior cybercrimes specialist for Chainalysis, explains on today's episode, it has become easier for investigators to know who is receiving payments, where they're moving it to, and even how their criminal organizations are set up. "We will plot a graph, like a link graph, that shows [a victim's] payment to the address provided by ransomware criminals, and then that payment will split among the members of the crew, and then those payments will end up going eventually to a place where it'll be cashed out for something that they can use on their local economy." Tune in to today's Lock and Code podcast, with host David Ruiz, to learn about the world of cryptocurrency forensics, what investigators are looking for in reams of data, how they find it, and why it's so hard.  You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, plus whatever preferred podcast platform you use.

Cyberattackers have recently targeted a crucial fuel pipeline, a global meat distributor and a water treatment plant. The Biden administration likens the surge in cyberattacks to terrorism — and says they plan to treat it like a national security threat. NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myre details the administration's plans. When businesses are targeted by ransomware, someone like Bill Siegel steps in to help companies figure out if they have any options but to pay up. Siegel runs Coveware, a company that responds to ransomware attacks and often negotiates with hackers. He spoke to NPR's Rachel Martin. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Welcome to the security box, podcast 42. I think I've got two very interesting topics. One of these topics is the ongoing saga over at Experian. We know they had a big time breach, but do we really know what else is going on at the company? Brian has the entire details. Finally in the topic department, we know Ransomware has taken a big toll during the pandemic and there is no slowing down in that department. According to Cyberscoop, demands are higher by 43 percent so far in 2021. We'll talk about it. I'll also give you some news and notes, although it may be dated. Your questions and comments are always welcome, so please get in touch! I hope you enjoy the program as much as I have putting it together! Topics We used to put all of the notations within the file, but I've decided against that unless people want me to do that. I've heard nothing, so I'm reverting back to linking to the articles, and letting people decide on what interests them. Experian’s Credit Freeze Security is Still a Joke Ransomware demands up by 43% so far in 2021, Coveware says News Notes Sans News bites May 3, 2021 Lots of interesting things including IOS 14.5.1 on the heals of 14.5 fixing a zero day.

The cost of ransomware to businesses is estimated to have doubled since 2019 to $20 billion, according to Coveware. Policyholders turn to their insurance policies to recover losses which average more than $230,000 per incident. More than half (56%) of ransomware victims paid the ransom to restore access to their data last year, according to a global study of 15,000 consumers conducted by global security company Kaspersky. Yet for 17% of those, paying the ransom did not guarantee the return of stolen data.Joining me to discuss an important ruling on insurance coverage for ransomware incidents Scott Godes, a partner with Barnes & Thornburg. Scott advises and represents policyholders  regarding insurance coverage for cyberattacks, data breaches and cyber security issues, business email compromises and CEO fraud, network failures, advertising injury, libel, ransomware, and personal injury claims.This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal on Emerging Issues in Litigation, a collaborative project between HB Litigation Conferences and the Fastcase legal research family, which includes Full Court Press, Law Street Media, Docket Alarm and, most recently, Judicata. If you have comments or wish to participate in one our projects, or want to tell me how insightful and informative Scott is , please drop me a note at Editor@LitigationConferences.com.I hope you enjoy the interview, and how I managed to work in Scott's gymnastics experience with zero finesse.

Ransomware Attacks Are Growing (0:33)Guest: Bill Siegel, CEO, CovewareRansomware attacks are getting more serious and more expensive around the world, according to data from the cybersecurity firm Coveware. These are attacks where hackers infiltrate a personal or company network, lock down files on those computers and then demand a ransom to unlock the files. The average ransom paid in situations like this is now more than $80,000, which is double what it was just six months ago, according to Coveware. Why are hackers getting so bold? How “Efficient” Hospital Systems Sometimes Put Doctors in an Ethical Bind (21:09)Guest: Keith A. Corl, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Brown University As hospitals try to walk the line between making money and making patients happy, they're implementing policies that, on the surface seem helpful. Like, how many emergency rooms now send a doctor or nurse out into the waiting room to do a quick assessment of a patient and order any tests or blood work right then, so the next doctor who will treat the patient has a head start when it's the patient's turn to head back to the exam room. That's one example of a system that emergency room physician Keith Corl says puts doctors in a bind where they're not able to do what's best for their patients. High Schoolers Turn to Instagram to Combat Anti-Semitism (38:37)Guest: Abby Adams and Sammy Gabbai, Co-Creators of “Why I Wear My Star”Acts of anti-Semitism – ranging from vandalism to violent attacks and shootings – have risen in America recently. So why would young Jewish people around the country be eager to don a Star of David and talk openly about why they wear it? Menstrual Hygiene Remains a Major Health Concern in Africa. The Cup Is Helping. (50:10)Guest: Penelope Phillips-Howard, Public Health Epidemiologist, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine; Khadija Osman, Founder of Live Right Ghana; Kofi Nyanteng, Monitoring and Evaluating Specialist, CouldYou? Cup in Ghana; Darmin Mutenda, Menstrual Cup Educator, CouldYou? Cup in MozambiqueWomen spend, on average 65 days a year dealing with menstrual blood flow. That the equivalent of two months each year for the majority of her adolescence and adult life. Now, I know menstruation isn't something you're supposed to talk about in polite company. But it literally affects half the population on the planet. And the stigma and silence surrounding it only makes it harder for women and girls to manage their periods in a safe, effective way. In Africa, for example, the UN estimates one in ten girls miss school during menstruation. Remembering NASA Mathematician Katherine Johnson (1:21:32)Guest: Bill Barry, NASA Chief HistorianNASA mathematician Katherine Johnson died this week at the age of 101. As an African American woman, she broke both color and gender barriers at NASA. Her calculations helped put the first Americans in space and her career featured in the book and movie "Hidden Figures."
