This week, we are joined by three cybercrime experts, John Bandler, Scott Giordano, and John Bates, to discuss how the FBI is obtaining court orders to enter companies' computers and seize harmful malware — and take other actions — in a new approach to countering cybercrime. The FBI's Cyber Division coordinated with the UK and private companies to disrupt a two-tiered global botnet of infected devices controlled by a cybercriminal aligned with the Russian Intelligence Unit GRU. This episode's guests are: John Bandler, Founder, Bandler Law Firm PLLC John G. Bates, Manager, Ernst & Young LLP, Cybersecurity Scott M. Giordano, V.P., Corporate Privacy, and General Counsel

During an oversight hearing of the FBI's Cyber Division, Rep. Matt Gaetz requested for material from Hunter Biden's infamous laptop to be entered into the Congressional Record.  The request came after FBI Assistant Director of Cyber Division, Bryan Vorndran, claimed that he didn't know where Hunter's laptop was located because it "wasn't in his purview."  Gaetz also introduced legislation to strip all security clearances from the intelligence officials who claimed Hunter Biden's laptop was merely "Russian misinformation."   There are increasing reports of "imminently approaching" solar storms caused by huge eruptions on the Sun's surface.  These could cause massive disruptions in global navigation systems, pipelines, and even power grids.  We're also seeing cyber attacks on the rise, including the recent attack on the Ukraine's military major internet provider.  Something is coming - when it happens and for how long is what everyone should make plans for.   Pardon My American podcast (PMA) is an opinion-based podcast that explores local and global politics, entertainment, paranormal, and culture all while having a good laugh.

In this episode, David discusses his time in the military to his past roles and now current role in the Cyber Division at the FBI, his current main priorities, who the FBI coordinates with to prevent cyber attacks, who the bad actors are, how he got his start in cyber, new tools and technologies in development, and as always, his toughest lesson learned.

Washington Post national security reporter Ellen Nakashima speaks with Jeremy Sheridan, the assistant director of Office of Investigations at U.S. Secret Service, Dmitri Alperovitch, the co-founder and chair of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, and Tonya Ugoretz, deputy assistant director of the Cyber Division at the F.B.I, in a series of conversations about the path forward for public and private entities to secure cyberspace.

With the influx of electric vehicles into the U.S. market, utilities—including electric cooperatives—and other interests are working to build EV infrastructure that can keep pace with the expected demand, and this growing web of connected charging stations will create a host of new cybersecurity vulnerabilities. To learn more about what those vulnerabilities are and how to mitigate them, we're joined by Shannon Murry with the FBI's Cyber Division along with NRECA's Brian Sloboda.

First in a two-part series for Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Ransomware became a household word earlier this year when the Colonial Pipeline, a major fuel delivery source on the East Coast, was shut down for several days after hackers attacked the company's billing system. These highly disruptive and costly network intrusions are on the rise in the United States and globally, and businesses across the spectrum are being targeted. How can electric cooperatives avoid becoming victims of this sophisticated malware? And what should they do if they are attacked? To answer those and other questions, we're joined by Ryan Newlon, NRECA's principal for cybersecurity solutions, and Dave Eisenreich, a special agent with the FBI in the Cyber Division and that group's liaison to the energy sector. Stay tuned next week for more on cybersecurity from Along Those Lines.

Without a basic understanding of cybersecurity, companies can stand to lose a great deal. As BKD's Cyber Division Director Cy Sturdivant points out, companies that acquire businesses with weak defenses may see their ROI compromised as easily as systems with weak passwords. Cy offers his take on the cyberthreat environment, what cybersecurity means in practice, and just how troubling digital threats are for players in the M&A world.

Mike Mason, the former CSO of Verizon, shares the mindset he developed to lead his organization and his life. “I am not a finished product.” This conversation took place last year right before his retirement. Michael A. Mason joined Verizon Communications in January 2008 as the company's Chief Security Officer. He oversaw and coordinated global security efforts throughout Verizon and all its business units, including enterprise-wide security strategy and programs, physical security, cyber security, and law enforcement liaison and security matters. Before Verizon, he was responsible for the Criminal Branch of the FBI, to include the Criminal Division, Cyber Division, Office of International Operations and the FBI's Critical Incident Response Division and the Office of Law Enforcement Liaison. ”

Cyber wasn't so straightforward.56 Field offices were all doing something different, then became consolidated centrally as a service organization.Quotes"No, it's funny. None of us really had a traditional cyber background. Tom started out his career as a geologist and Keith actually started out selling like furniture. He was a salesman.""But I mean, from the legal standpoint, you've got third party liability and other things. So we really had to walk a kind of a tight rope when it came to what types of malware we were infecting ourselves with. And then how far we'd let it go.""And so as we're taking it over, it was really interesting to sit behind one of the malware analysts and watch a Wireshark and watch the instructions coming out. I crossed the wire. It was really cool. And when it really kind of sunk in, because to me it was like a tangible thing. I can actually see it happening as it was going on.""It's (cybersecurity) probably the most rewarding thing you'll ever do in your life."LinksFBI: https://www.fbi.gov/Intro Music: https://trash80.com/#/content/133/weeklybeats-2012-week5Outro Music: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/KieLoKaz/Free_Ganymed/Alte_Herren_Kielokaz_ID_364Getting Into InfosecBreaking IN: A Practical Guide to Starting a Career in Information Security: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N15GTPC/T-Shirts, Mugs, and more: https://gettingintoinfosec.com/shop/Stay in touch and sign up for sneak peaks, updates, and commentary: https://pages.gettingintoinfosec.com/subscribeAyman on Twitter: https://twitter.com/coffeewithayman

Six years ago Scott Augenbaum discovered the medium of podcasts.  The first show he ever downloaded was "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do" (now "Making Waves at C-Level") and he was hooked.  He later reached out to the host, Thom Singer, to talk more about what he was learning.  Thom invited Scott on the show to talk about Cyber Security, and they became friends.   Over the years Scott has retired from the FBI and has become a professional speaker and author.  He reinvented himself at age 50 and is now living a new life educating people about how to stay safe online.  He gives credit to this podcast and Thom for inspiring his journey.   For episode 606 Thom has invited Scott Augenbaum back on the show to share his journey (and to talk a little bit about cyber security).     About Scott Augenbaum   After joining the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the New York Field Office in 1988 as a support employee, Scott Augenbaum became a Special Agent in 1994 and was assigned to the Syracuse, New York Office, where he worked domestic terrorism, white collar and hate crimes, and all computer crime investigations.

This is episode #9 of our news show, 16 Minutes, where we quickly cover recent headlines of the week, the a16z way -- why they’re in the news; why they matter from our vantage point in tech -- and share our experts’ views on the trends involved.This week we do a short but deep dive to tease apart the FUD from the facts on all the phone hacks of late (also, arguably, one of the worst years on record for certain device manufacturers) -- given the following news:Just this week, the FBI’s Cyber Division released a notification to private industry on “Cyber Criminals Use Social Engineering and Technical Attacks to Circumvent Multi-Factor Authentication”;Last week, a telecom security firm reported a vulnerability called “Simjacker” where SMS containing spyware-like code "takes over" a phone's SIM card in order to retrieve and perform sensitive commands, regardless of platform or device;Over the past month, Google and Apple have been going back and forth over a post the former released, “A very deep dive into iOS Exploit chains found in the wild”, where a small collection of hacked websites were using iPhone zero-day vulnerabilities to target China's Uyghur Muslim community (though Google is not the one who revealed the specific websites, Apple did confirm it in their response a week later) -- what do we make of this exchange; of the fact that zero-day hacks are now more expensive on Android than on Apple; and of Apple's ethos when it comes to a third-party ecosystem for security?Finally, how should we think about phone authentication overall when it comes to security, and what can we do to secure ourselves?

Our a16z experts -- general partner Martin Casado and former chief security officer/ operating partner for security Joel de la Garza -- share their thoughts on all this and more with host Sonal Chokshi, in this episode of 16 Minutes.---The views expressed here are those of the individual AH Capital Management, L.L.C.

As one of the pioneers of partnerships for the FBI, Dan Larkin of the FBI’s Cyber Division will outline how the FBI has taken this concept from rhetoric to reality over the past 5 years. This presentation will explore how the mantra "make it personal" has aided the FBI in forging exceptional alliances with key stake holders from industry, academia and law enforcement both domestically and abroad. This presentation will also outline how such collaborations have helped to proactively advance the fight against an increasingly international and organized, cyber crime threat. Dan Larkin became unit chief of the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), which is a join initiative between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) in January 2003. Before that he was a supervisory special agent (SSA) in the White Collar Crime area for ten years. In that capacity he supervised and coordinated numerous joint agency initiatives on both regional and national levels involving corruption and fraud associated with a variety of federal, state, and local agencies. SSA Larkin acted as the congressional investigative team leader in the "Operation Illwind" Pentagon scandal corruption investigation. The combined effort of this team led to record settlements and convictions involving numerous top defense contractors, as well as public officials. Prior to his current assignment UC Larkin developed and supervised the High Tech Crimes Task Force in Western Pennsylvania, one of the first such initiatives in the United States. UC Larkin also developed a national initiative known as the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) This progressive initiative maximizes overlapping public/private sector resources, in identifying and proactively targeting escalating cyber-crime perpetrators both domestically and abroad. This project also serves to attract a perpetual stream of key Subject Matter Experts (SME's) from industry, government and academia, creating a dynamic cyber-nerve-center, for tactical and proactive response, forensics and vulnerability analysis, and the development of advanced training. UC Larkin also co-authored the FBI’s re-organization plan in 2002 which established Cyber Crime as a top priority, and underscored the need for additional Public/Private Alliances in combating priority cyber crimes word-wide."
