Podcasts about cyberattacks

DragonForce has emerged as a significant threat actor in the cybercrime landscape, targeting vulnerabilities in the SimpleHelp remote monitoring and management tool to execute sophisticated ransomware-as-a-service attacks against managed service providers (MSPs). Recent incidents have highlighted how attackers exploited known vulnerabilities, including path traversal and privilege escalation issues, to deploy DragonForce ransomware, which involved exfiltrating sensitive data and employing double extortion tactics. While some clients were protected by endpoint security measures, others suffered significant impacts, underscoring the importance of maintaining IT hygiene and patch management.The rise of DragonForce is indicative of a broader trend where low-key remote monitoring and management vendors become high-risk entry points for cybercriminals. The evolution of DragonForce from disruptive ransomware player to a full-blown ransomware-as-a-service operator executing targeted extortion campaigns raises alarms about the security of tools widely used by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This situation serves as a reminder that disclosed vulnerabilities can become weaponized if organizations fail to prioritize patching and security measures.In another concerning development, ConnectWise's ScreenConnect has been identified as the most abused legitimate remote access tool in cyberattacks, accounting for a significant percentage of active threat reports. Cybercriminals are hijacking these tools, typically used by IT professionals, to infiltrate systems and deliver malicious software. The increasing popularity of ScreenConnect has raised vendor trust concerns among IT service providers, prompting discussions about the implications of using such tools in an environment where they can be misused, even without technical exploits.Microsoft is also making waves in the patch management landscape by introducing a Windows Update Orchestration platform that allows app developers to integrate their update processes into the Windows 11 framework. This initiative aims to create a unified system for managing updates across devices, addressing user concerns about fragmented experiences. The implications of this change are profound, as it positions Microsoft as a central authority in the software update lifecycle, potentially reshaping how managed service providers and security teams approach patching and update management in the future.  Four things to know today00:00 DragonForce Targets SimpleHelp Vulnerabilities in MSP-Focused Ransomware Campaign03:30 ConnectWise ScreenConnect Now the Most Abused Remote Access Tool in 2025 Cyberattacks, Report Finds05:56 Unified Patch Control: Microsoft's Update Orchestration Platform Threatens RMM Value Propositions08:55 Actionable AI: Governance Framework and MCP Protocol Deliver Real-World Benefits Amid Hype  This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

What legal responsibilities does a company have to keep your data secure?M&S, and the Co-op are picking up the pieces after their systems were hacked. The cyber criminals claim to have the private information of 20 million people who signed up to Co-op's membership scheme, but the firm have not confirmed that number. The Co-op says the breach did not include members' passwords, bank or credit card details. However, experts say seemingly innocent information can be used to commit fraud or identity theft.Companies aren't the only target; on Monday this week, the Ministry of Justice revealed that the Legal Aid Agency was also hacked in April. So can you sue if your private data is stolen in this way? And if you're the employee who clicked on a hacker's dodgy link in an email, how liable are you for any losses that occur?Also on the programme: How survivors of domestic violence in Scotland want to be told if their attackers make plea deals.

Christian Espinosa, founder of Blue Goat Cyber and leading voice in medical device cybersecurity, joins Etienne Nichols to unpack the urgent and often misunderstood topic of cybersecurity in MedTech. From FDA's 2023 regulatory overhaul to real-world hacking scenarios that could harm patients, Christian provides practical advice for innovators, RA/QA professionals, and software teams. He also shares why waiting until the last minute on cybersecurity could cost startups millions—or even kill a project entirely.Whether you're a quality professional trying to build compliant systems or an innovator racing toward FDA submission, this episode lays out exactly what you need to know to stay ahead of cyber threats and within regulatory guardrails.Key Timestamps:00:01 – Intro to guest Christian Espinosa and Blue Goat Cyber06:28 – Why medical device cybersecurity is different from traditional IT security11:49 – Real-world hacking example: acne laser device turned skin-burner13:57 – FDA expectations post-September 2023: what changed17:12 – Secure boot: a microcontroller mistake that derailed a launch20:35 – Common cybersecurity vendor mistake MedTech companies make23:40 – SBOM: Software Bill of Materials and why it's legally critical27:58 – Cyberattacks in hospitals: assuming a hostile network35:44 – AI in medical devices: data bias and cybersecurity challenges41:10 – Developers ≠ cybersecurity experts: the training gap nobody talks about45:20 – What RA/QA professionals need to know now49:30 – Why cybersecurity must be iterative, not a final-phase add-on55:20 – Espinosa's final advice for MedTech professionals57:52 – The story behind “Blue Goat Cyber”Standout Quotes:“Cybersecurity for medical devices isn't about data breaches—it's about patient harm. You could paralyze someone or misdiagnose sepsis. This isn't theoretical.”— Christian Espinosa, on the real risks of insecure devices“Most developers don't understand cybersecurity. We assume they do—but that's like expecting an architect to be a locksmith.”— Christian Espinosa, on why so many devices fail security assessmentsTop Takeaways:Cybersecurity isn't just about data—it's about patient safety. From burning skin to missed sepsis diagnoses, vulnerabilities in devices have real-world harm potential.FDA now requires more than just a basic security plan. Post-September 2023 rules mandate testing (SAST, DAST, fuzzing), SBOMs, and risk assessments tied to patient harm.Start cybersecurity planning during the requirements phase. Hardware like microcontrollers must support secure boot and other protections—retrofits can cripple product plans.Iterate cybersecurity like any core development activity. One-time testing near submission is too late; build security into your pipeline just like QA or usability.Traditional cybersecurity vendors aren't enough. Many fail to meet FDA's nuanced expectations for medical devices, causing costly submission rejections.References & Resources:Christian Espinosa on LinkedInBlue Goat CyberEtienne Nichols on LinkedInMedTech 101 – Understanding SBOM (Software Bill of...

In this eye-opening episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash welcomes notorious hacker and security expert Jayson E. Street to discuss why traditional security awareness training falls short. Jayson explains that most corporate security training is merely policy-driven compliance, not actual security education.Instead of focusing on checkbox exercises once a year, Jayson advocates for building situational awareness—a security mindset that extends beyond the workplace into everyday life. He shares practical strategies for gamifying security training, fostering a culture where employees feel like participants rather than targets, and creating year-round engagement through creative competitions.Through entertaining stories and candid insights from his experience as a simulated adversary for hire, Jayson challenges the industry's approach to security training and offers a refreshing perspective on how to make organizations genuinely more secure.Send us a textSupport the show

In this eye-opening episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash welcomes notorious hacker and security expert Jayson E. Street to discuss why traditional security awareness training falls short. Jayson explains that most corporate security training is merely policy-driven compliance, not actual security education.Instead of focusing on checkbox exercises once a year, Jayson advocates for building situational awareness—a security mindset that extends beyond the workplace into everyday life. He shares practical strategies for gamifying security training, fostering a culture where employees feel like participants rather than targets, and creating year-round engagement through creative competitions.Through entertaining stories and candid insights from his experience as a simulated adversary for hire, Jayson challenges the industry's approach to security training and offers a refreshing perspective on how to make organizations genuinely more secure.Send us a textSupport the show

A bizarre and unexplained blackout in Spain and Portugal is fueling wild speculation, with some accusing Israel of deploying a weather weapon in retaliation for Spain's anti-Israel shift; power grid anomalies were also reported in the UK just hours before, sparking sabotage and cyberattack investigations. Meanwhile, global tensions intensify: Pakistan warns of imminent war with India, Iran accuses Israel of bombing a key port, and Dmitry Medvedev suggests NATO countries may need “de-Nazification” as he warns of nuclear apocalypse. In North America, Trump's critics claim Mossad-linked operatives are undermining Pentagon anti-war voices, Amazon is under fire for tariff price labels, and Canada has elected a new prime minister vowing to break with the U.S. Trump, undeterred, pushes forward with Suez Canal demands and defends America's deep alliance with Israel.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

John is joined by former U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director Chris Krebs to discuss the Trump 2.0 rollback of the nation's cyberdefenses—an interview taped just an hour before Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Krebs, who earned the president's enmity four years ago by declaring the 2020 election “the most secure in American history.” Krebs details the rapidly escalating and dramatically expanding threats posed by Chinese and Russian hackers to America's corporations, public and private infrastructure, and voting systems; how and why the administration is dismantling the agencies and programs designed to stave off those threats; and the potential risks to the security of our elections as a result of gutting CISA, the organization Krebs once led … and Trump himself signed into law.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:   First, an update on the ongoing trade war, as China hits back at Trump's massive 145 percent tariff by hiking rates on U.S. goods. But officials with the CCP also signaled it will likely be their last escalation, saying they will ignore any additional tariff increases by the US. Later in the show, a bombshell report reveals that Chinese officials acknowledged in a secret meeting that their government is behind widespread cyberattacks targeting critical U.S. infrastructure over America's support for Taiwan.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/10/2025): 3:05pm- President Donald Trump has increased reciprocal tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%. On Wednesday, Trump announced that he “authorized a 90-day pause” on heightened reciprocal tariffs on nations other than China—with a much lower 10% universal tariff going into effect instead. 3:10pm- It's Time to Get Tough with China: According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, Chinese officials acknowledged that they were behind numerous cyberattacks against United States infrastructure. During a secret meeting in December, officials took credit for hacking computer systems related to U.S. airports and water utilities. The report suggests the attacks were in response to American support for Taiwan's independence. In an equally disturbing report, the Biden Administration allegedly buried evidence that U.S. military members contracted COVID-19 while in Wuhan, China as early as October 2019. 3:30pm- On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a budget blueprint which will extend the 2018 Trump tax cuts while reducing federal spending. Last week, the Senate passed a similar blueprint—however, the Senate's framework outlined only $4 billion in spending cuts while the House version includes $1.5 trillion. While speaking with reporters, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) explained that the reconciliation process will begin after Congress's two-week recess which begins next week. 4:05pm- According to Toms River Mayor Dan Rodrick, singer Bon Jovi's nonprofit kitchen is attracting an enormous number of homeless people! The homeless from across the state, and out of state, are now flocking to Toms River to enjoy free meals—but the town doesn't have the infrastructure or resources to care for such an enormous number of people. 4:20pm- A recent Axios report notes that Democrats have their lowest favorability rating in the history of CNN polling, they have a bad 2026 Senate electoral map, and following the census in 2030—because residents of blue states are moving to red states in large numbers—Democrats will face an uphill battle in the electoral college in 2032. For example, California and New York are expected to lose a total of six House seats and, subsequently, six electoral votes. Rich notes he's not sure how the Democrat Party can turn things around—as they continue to embrace unpopular policies despite the results of the 2024 election. 4:30pm- JT Morris—Supervising Senior Attorney for The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss FIRE submitting an amicus brief on behalf of a Maine House Representative facing retaliation for protected speech about transgender athletes. 4:40pm- During a CNN town hall event with Senator Bernie Sanders, host Anderson Cooper was corrected after “misgendering” a civil rights attorney sitting in the audience. Matt notes that Cooper is by no means an adversary to the LGBTQ+ community—and now even he is getting reprimanded on television? 5:00pm- While appearing on Fox News, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that China outfitted the Panama Canal with spy equipment: "The cranes the Chinese have on both sides of the canal are full of surveillance equipment. What do you think they're doing there?" 5:10pm- While appearing on MSNBC, businessman Kevin O'Leary said China doesn't play by the rules and that President Donald Trump has “to fix the problem once and for all.” 5:15pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump convened a cabinet meeting where Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that there are numerous meetings scheduled regarding tariffs and that we are likely to see deals “one after another” in the coming days and weeks. 5:25pm- During a CNN town hall event with Senator Bernie Sanders, host Anderson Cooper was corrected after “misgendering” a civil rights attorney sitting in the audience. Matt notes that Cooper is by no means an adversary to the LGBTQ+ community—and ...
