Cybercriminals are harnessing AI not to break in, but to make sense of their stolen loot and increase their leverage in multi-million dollar ransomware heists. This episode unpacks how AI is now turbocharging extortion and negotiations on the dark side. The "bone crushing" didn't happen this month. Revisiting and inspecting July's Patch Tuesday. A widespread and worrisome flaw in OpenSSL. Claude can now access your 1Password credentials. Bitwarden is aware that we need whole new security. The day ends in "y" so a new prompt injection attack. A true (and rare) core Wordpress emergency update. Lots of interesting listener feedback.

Philipp Leo — Swiss cyber expert, diplomat, and military officer, always two steps ahead of the storm No Password Required Season 7: Episode 7 - Philipp Leo Philipp Leo co-founded Leo & Muhly Cyber Advisory, a strategic advisory firm specializing in cyber risk, resilience, and geopolitics. Now consulting with governments and private firms in Switzerland and abroad, Philipp has served as a UN observer on the Korean DMZ, trained the next generation of Swiss Armed Forces cyber specialists, and taught at the University of Glasgow. He is also part of Europol's network of experts in data protection and cybercrime and has published stateside in MIT Sloan Management Review. In this episode, Philipp shares his journey from a Swiss bank he couldn't wait to leave to the Korean border, and eventually to the boardrooms of executives who still think cyber risk is someone else's problem. He breaks down the three most dangerous misconceptions executives have about cyber risk, why the CISO is too often a poster child rather than a decision-maker, and the challenges to cyber insurance in Europe. Cyber attorney Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Philipp about his live crisis simulation that nobody can win, how to train cyber warriors, and how nation-state cyber conflict is looking more and more like the age of Caribbean pirates. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Philipp reveals his favorite book, his eye-opening, go-to celebratory drink, and the weight of his luxury umbrella. He also shares his favorite escape when the complexity of modern life gets to be too much and introduces us to a Zurich commuting tradition that involves swimming home through a river.   In this episode: Philipp's journey from a Swiss bank he couldn't wait to leave to the Korean DMZ and eventually the boardrooms of Fortune 500 executives (00:27 - 02:22) The three most dangerous misconceptions executives have about cyber risk and why cyber risk is a corporate problem, not a technology problem (04:19 - 05:30) How Philipp's live crisis simulation works, why nobody can win it, and why that's exactly the point (05:49 - 08:47) Why cyber crisis teams have improved dramatically but leadership boards remain the weakest link (06:30 - 08:47) The CISO poster child problem: why most CISOs have the accountability without the authority (09:54 - 11:00) Why cyber insurance in Europe has largely failed to deliver and what happens when attackers find your policy before you do (11:17 - 13:44) The OFAC twist: what happens mid-exercise when a Swiss bank decides to pay and then learns the attackers are on the sanctions list (18:38 - 19:31) Training Swiss Armed Forces cyber specialists and why the first lesson is that the other side plays by no rules (19:47 - 21:37) Whether nation states can ever beat the cyber threat and why the east side of Vienna tells you everything you need to know (21:54 - 23:25) Why nation-state cyber conflict has become remarkably similar to the age of Caribbean pirates (23:46 - 24:23) The Lifestyle Polygraph: Endurance, Campari Red Bull, a three-ounce umbrella, a cabin in the Alps, and swimming home through a Zurich river (00:04 - 12:03)   Timestamp Highlights: (00:27) From Swiss banker to UN observer on the Korean DMZ (04:19) The three misconceptions executives have about cyber risk (05:49) The crisis simulation nobody can win and why that's the whole point (09:54) Why the CISO is too often a poster child without real power (11:17) Why cyber insurance in Europe has largely failed (18:38) The OFAC twist that stopped a Swiss bank mid-exercise (19:47) Training Swiss cyber warriors to understand the other side plays by no rules (21:54) Nation states vs. cyber threats: are defenders always outpaced?

What if the biggest weakness in cybersecurity isn't the technology, but the way defenders communicate with each other? Cybercriminals openly exchange techniques, vulnerabilities, and attack methods, constantly learning from one another. Meanwhile, many organizations remain reluctant to share details of breaches, investigations, or lessons learned. In this episode, I sit down with Lee Sult, Chief Investigator at Binalyze, to discuss why that imbalance is creating an advantage for attackers and what the industry can do to change it. Drawing on almost two decades in digital forensics and incident response, including work with Palantir, law enforcement agencies, and government organizations, Lee explains why cybersecurity should learn from industries such as aviation and emergency services, where every major incident becomes an opportunity for everyone to improve. We discuss why incident response needs to move beyond reacting to alerts, how proactive threat hunting can reduce attacker dwell time, and why repeatable investigation processes are becoming just as important as the security tools themselves. We also explore the growing influence of AI, not because it is making attackers dramatically smarter, but because it is lowering the barrier to entry and increasing the volume of attacks security teams must handle. Lee shares why automation is becoming essential for investigators, how organizations can move from hours to minutes when responding to threats, and why cybersecurity is steadily becoming a boardroom issue rather than simply an IT concern. If cybersecurity is truly an information war, what would happen if defenders became just as collaborative as the attackers they face every day? After listening, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Should organizations be more open about cyber incidents if it helps strengthen security for everyone?

For years, healthcare organizations focused on securing digital channels while treating phone calls as a trusted service channel. That assumption no longer holds true.  In this episode, Sandy sits with Jason Barr, the Vice President of Strategic Sales for Healthcare at Pindrop, who explains how AI-powered voice cloning, deepfakes, and synthetic identities are transforming the cybersecurity landscape. Jason shares how healthcare organizations can defend against AI-driven fraud, verify identity in real time, and protect patients, providers, and employees in a world where even a familiar voice may not be what it seems. In this episode, they talk about: AI has transformed the phone from a trusted service channel into a rapidly growing cybersecurity threat vector for healthcare organizations. Cybercriminals can now use AI-powered tools to launch thousands of voice-based attacks per day, dramatically increasing the scale and efficiency of fraud attempts. Many attackers use voice channels not for immediate theft, but for reconnaissance, collecting sensitive information that can later be used to target providers, payers, and patients. Traditional identity verification methods such as knowledge-based questions and one-time passcodes are becoming increasingly vulnerable to modern fraud tactics. Continuous identity verification is emerging as a new security model that validates users throughout an interaction rather than only at the point of authentication. Pindrop analyzes thousands of signals during voice interactions to determine whether a caller is who they claim to be, whether they pose a risk, and whether they are even human. Healthcare organizations are facing a growing challenge in distinguishing between legitimate automation and malicious AI-powered bots. Deepfake technology is now sophisticated enough to mimic both voices and video, creating new risks across hiring, workforce management, and patient-facing operations. Help desks and support centers remain attractive targets because attackers often use social engineering tactics to pressure employees into resetting credentials. Voice-based security solutions can reduce fraud while simultaneously improving operational efficiency and the customer experience. One healthcare organization achieved a 90% reduction in fraud after implementing voice authentication and risk detection technology. Healthcare leaders must begin evaluating voice security as part of their broader cybersecurity strategy, as AI-enabled attacks continue to grow at an unprecedented pace.  A Little About Jason: As a West Point graduate and former U.S. Army Officer, Jason brings the operational rigor, discipline, and leadership foundation of combat-tested command into the boardroom and the GTM arena. He thrives where GTM transformation is mission-critical: aligning strategy to investor outcomes, building high-performing teams, and delivering predictable growth.

Cybercriminals don't need to “hack” our systems when they can trick someone into handing over access, and AI is making those tricks more realistic and scalable. We talk with Daniel Metcalfe of Cyberfin about where benefits advisors are most exposed and the layered, practical steps that reduce breach risk while still letting teams use AI responsibly. • why employee and employer data is “gold” to attackers • how advisors get used as a pathway to bigger targets • why MFA and antivirus alone don't stop social engineering • where agencies are most vulnerable today: email credentials and tool connections • what “layered” user-based protection looks like in real life • why password managers change the social engineering game • how ongoing security awareness training finds gaps faster than annual check-the-box training • why cloud storage is not the same as encrypted backups • how AI is already being used inside agencies without formal approval • practical AI wins that avoid sensitive data and improve efficiency • what client expectations are becoming in an AI world and why relationships still matter

Social engineering attacks may evolve with new technology, but the core tactic hasn't changed in decades: exploiting human trust. In this episode of The Segment, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Timothy Kromphardt, Senior Threat Researcher at Proofpoint to explore how modern scams actually work behind the scenes. Tim spends his days engaging directly with threat actors—sometimes for months at a time—to understand how fraud campaigns operate, how scammers build trust, and how they ultimately convince victims to hand over money or sensitive information. Together, they unpack the mechanics of today's most common scams, including TOAD (telephone-oriented attack delivery) attacks, business email compromise, and the increasingly sophisticated “pig butchering” investment scams that can drain victims' life savings after months of relationship-building. Together, Raghu and Tim unpack: Why social engineering continues to succeed—even as security technology improves   How pig butchering scams build trust over months before stealing massive sums   What happens when researchers directly engage with scammers   Why AI is helping attackers scale operations—but not necessarily replace humans   Practical steps organizations and individuals can take to reduce their risk   If you've ever wondered how scammers actually operate—or why even highly successful professionals sometimes fall victim—this episode offers a rare inside look at the human side of cybercrime.   Stay Connected with our host, Raghu on LinkedIn For more information about Illumio, check out our website at illumio.com

How do you take down a cybercriminal? Last month, we explored that question through the lens of Operation Endgame. Today, we ask Shawn Henry, former Executive Assistant Director of the FBI and current Executive Advisor to the Founder and CEO of CrowdStrike. In some ways, it's similar to taking down criminals in the physical world. But the speed and scale of cybercrime operations exacerbate the challenge of stopping them. While infrastructure can be dismantled, the impact is now short-lived as adversaries pivot to other setups. While law enforcement considers how to replicate successful operations, cybercriminals are thinking about how they can adapt and stay ahead. For those pursuing adversaries, speed and scale are difficult to achieve. As Shawn explains, successful takedowns require collaboration among dozens of groups; among them law enforcement agencies, international partners, intelligence analysts, reverse engineers, prosecutors, and private sector organizations that have visibility into adversary infrastructure. “A takedown isn't a single door-kick moment. It's a monthslong choreography of legal process and infrastructure mapping and partner synchronization,” he says. Are there ways to accelerate the process? He has a few ideas. Tune in as Shawn joins Adam and Cristian to share a behind-the-scenes take on stopping cybercrime. Learn the key challenges law enforcement faces, how a takedown comes together, why arrests alone aren't enough to stop adversaries, and where there is still an opportunity to have real impact.

The integration of advanced AI capabilities in tools like OpenAI Atlas and Microsoft Teams has raised significant security concerns, particularly regarding identity and trust vulnerabilities. Recent findings from LayerX indicate that the Atlas browser has critical vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to inject harmful instructions, while Microsoft Teams has a flaw that enables attackers to bypass Microsoft Defender protections through guest access. These issues highlight the fragility of AI integrations and the need for organizations to implement strict B2B collaboration configurations to mitigate risks associated with external collaborations.The FBI has reported over $262 million in losses due to account takeover fraud, with more than 5,100 complaints filed this year. Cybercriminals are increasingly using social engineering tactics to gain unauthorized access to online banking accounts, often changing passwords to lock victims out and quickly transferring funds to cryptocurrency wallets, complicating recovery efforts. The FBI advises individuals to monitor their financial accounts closely and adopt security measures such as complex passwords and multi-factor authentication to protect against these threats.Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are experiencing a growing demand for integrated security solutions, with a recent survey indicating that 92% of MSPs are seeing business growth driven by interest in AI. However, less than half feel prepared to guide clients in deploying AI tools, particularly autonomous agents. This gap in readiness reflects a significant drop from the previous year's 90% preparedness figure, emphasizing the need for MSPs to focus on data governance and security before implementing AI solutions.The episode underscores the importance of managing identity and data governance as the primary control mechanisms in modern security. MSPs that prioritize these areas will be better positioned to offer secure collaboration and effective automation. As the landscape evolves, providers must choose tools that enhance service delivery without adding unnecessary complexity, ensuring they can meet client demands for security and efficiency in an increasingly AI-driven environment.

AI-integrated tools, such as OpenAI's Atlas and Microsoft Teams, are introducing new trust and identity risks, particularly through vulnerabilities like prompt injections and guest access features. The Atlas browser, launched on October 21, 2025, has been identified as having security flaws that could allow attackers to inject harmful instructions. Similarly, Microsoft Teams has a vulnerability that permits attackers to bypass security protections when users join external tenants as guests. These developments highlight the fragility of AI integrations and the need for robust security measures in collaborative environments.The FBI has reported over $262 million in losses due to account takeover fraud schemes, with more than 5,100 complaints filed this year. Cybercriminals are employing social engineering tactics to gain unauthorized access to online banking and payroll accounts, often locking victims out by changing passwords. The FBI recommends that individuals monitor their financial accounts closely, use complex passwords, and enable multi-factor authentication to mitigate these risks. This trend underscores the importance of managing trust and identity in security practices, as attackers increasingly exploit human vulnerabilities rather than technical flaws.In the managed service provider (MSP) sector, a recent survey by OpenText Cybersecurity revealed that while 92% of MSPs are experiencing growth driven by interest in AI, fewer than half feel prepared to implement AI tools effectively. This marks a significant decline from the previous year's 90% readiness. Additionally, 71% of MSPs reported that their small and medium-sized business clients prefer bundled security solutions, indicating a shift towards integrated offerings that simplify decision-making for clients. The findings suggest that MSPs need to focus on data governance and readiness before deploying AI solutions.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is that modern security is increasingly about managing identity and data governance rather than merely adding more tools. As AI vulnerabilities and account takeover fraud become more prevalent, providers must prioritize establishing secure trust boundaries and effective data management practices. By doing so, MSPs can differentiate themselves in a competitive market, ensuring they are equipped to deliver secure AI solutions and meaningful automation to their clients. Three things to know today00:00 New AI, Collaboration, and Fraud Threats Underscore That Identity—not Infrastructure—is the Real Security Battleground05:15 Survey Shows MSPs Expanding Services Amid AI Interest, Yet True Opportunity Lies in Readiness and Governance07:45 New MSP Integrations, Funding, and AI Platforms Underscore the Shift Toward Identity and Data Governance as the True Control Plane This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://scalepad.com/dave/

People who live the longest aren't always the ones with the “perfect” body weight. In fact, research suggests that being slightly overweight can actually increase your life expectancy. It sounds counterintuitive, but the science may surprise you. Listen as I explain what's really going on. https://healthland.time.com/2013/01/02/being-overweight-is-linked-to-lower-risk-of-mortality/ Ever since the dawn of the Internet, we've been told to guard against hackers — but today's biggest threat isn't hacking, it's scamming. Cybercriminals are more cunning than ever, tricking millions into giving up money and information every day. If you think you are too clever to be taken by cyber-scammers, think again. Eric O'Neill — former FBI undercover operative, national security attorney, and cybersecurity strategist — reveals how modern scams work and how to stop them before they get to you. He's the author of Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime: Cybersecurity Tactics to Outsmart Hackers and Disarm Scammers (https://amzn.to/4nRvvv1). Imagine medicine without X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. It's impossible — these imaging breakthroughs revolutionized how doctors diagnose and treat disease. Yet not long ago, the idea of seeing inside the body without a single incision was pure fantasy. Dr. Daniel K. Sodickson, chief of innovation in radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and author of The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World (https://amzn.to/3KNz3zS), shares the fascinating story of how imaging transformed modern medicine — and what's coming next. Sarcasm might seem like just a clever way to joke around but it's actually good exercise for your brain. Using and understanding sarcasm requires multiple parts of your mind to work together. Listen as I explain why being sarcastic might make you sharper. https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=49283&utm Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
