In this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast, I welcome my good mate Dave Dredge of Convex Strategies for a fascinating conversation about fragility, portfolio construction, and why so many traditional investment frameworks are no longer fit for purpose. Using everything from London Tube strikes to Mandelbrot's work on volatility clustering, Dave explains why markets should be understood not as stable systems occasionally disrupted by shocks, but as inherently fragile structures where hidden stresses build quietly over time before suddenly erupting. At the heart of our discussion is the “total portfolio approach”—a growing institutional framework that focuses less on the standalone return of individual assets and more on how each position contributes to the resilience, correlation profile, and survival of the portfolio as a whole in an increasingly unstable world. Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory, Shifts Happen and The Hundred Year Pivot, is available to Copper and Silver Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com.

Student Jodie Morrow talks to Nuala McGovern about her ordeal of being arrested after her stalker falsely accused her of stalking him. He has now been jailed after pleading guilty to harassment and perverting the course of justice, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland has acknowledged "shortcomings" in how the case was handled. Jodie is now helping the police to try to improve how they handle stalking cases.The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Endometriosis is launching an Inquiry into endometriosis and the workplace. The inquiry follows the latest data from Endometriosis UK showing it takes on average nine years and four months for diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK, a statistic that hasn't improved in over a decade. Labour MP Kirsteen Sullivan, who chairs the inquiry, and Bethan Allen, who has the condition, discuss how this can be improved and what employers should do to support sufferers.If you're in your 50s and feeling as though the workplace is quietly moving on without you, overlooked or pushed out, you're not alone. Author Lucy Standing argues that this could in fact be the most powerful decade of your working life, if you rethink how a career should look. And Eleanor Mills, who runs a website for midlife women, or “Queenagers” as she calls them, argues this period of life is not about decline, but about being on the cusp of something transformative. Each year egg donation enables between 2,000 and 3,000 women to have children who otherwise wouldn't be able to. One woman, Gini Bhogal, helped someone in this way after donating her eggs to a woman she met randomly on a London Tube. It began on a crowded carriage in the early 90s, and when she spoke about it on social media she says the reaction was overwhelming. Gini and Christopher, the child born from that donation, explain how he came to be conceived and how he found out about his origins.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Melanie Abbott

As the London Tube initiative reaches its 40th birthday, George discusses how poems are chosen and shares some poetry that he feels speaks to the strength of the scheme.Depending on how you count it, this month marks the 4th or the 12th anniversary of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia - a conflict in which poetry has become a player. Iryna Starovoyt is a poet and critic from Ukraine. She reflects on the 19th century poet and artist Taras Shevchenko - regarded as a totemic figure in Ukrainian literature, and whose name is on the country's highest award for Arts and Culture, the Taras Shevchenko National Prize.Katie Clarke, Director of Literature at The Reader organisation, shares her experiences of reading poetry with people who have dementia and the surprising power of poetry to make fresh connections at the individual and group level.

In this gripping episode, we explore the devastating German night bombing campaign known as the Blitz, which terrorized Britain from September 1940 to May 1941. While London bore the brunt of 57 consecutive nights of bombing that killed 40,000 people and destroyed over a million homes, many other British cities suffered similar devastation as the Luftwaffe attempted to break British morale and cripple the nation's war effort. Despite the widespread destruction, the RAF's Fighter Command was ill-prepared for night interceptions, lacking both aerial radar technology and adequate anti-aircraft defenses, leaving British civilians to endure the onslaught largely unprotected. From the famous use of London Tube stations as makeshift shelters to the remarkable grassroots organization of shelter committees, ordinary British citizens demonstrated extraordinary resilience in the face of nightly terror. Though the Luftwaffe dropped thousands of tons of bombs and caused immense suffering, their strategic goals remained unfulfilled – instead of breaking British spirit, the Blitz ultimately strengthened national resolve and became a defining symbol of wartime endurance that would echo through history.

From a brutally honest, brutally Spanish flat inspection in Valencia to the fine-tuned overuse of “sorry” and “thank you” on the London Tube, we break down what it means to be “polite” in the UK.Is it all genuine kindness, or are Brits just world-class at passive-aggressive fakery? And how does that reconcile with the less-than-dignified behaviour of sunburnt Brits in Magaluf?Join us both as we tackle queuing etiquette, white lies, and the cultural clash of ordering a simple beer in a British pub. Packed with sharp observations, dry humour, and César's own Spanish-British perspective, this episode is a deep dive into why British politeness is both maddening and magnificent.Don't worry - listening won't require queuing.

Mind-bending optical illusions at new London museum

A new museum has opened in London promising visitors one of the best selfie experiences in the capital. The Paradox Museum specializes in special effects and mind-boggling optical illusions, and visitors are actively encouraged to snap away to their hearts' content. It is the brainchild of co-founder Miltos Kambourides, a Cypriot entrepreneur with a background in luxury resorts. He wanted to create a museum that could combine science with a true entertainment experience—and generate a lot of images on Instagram and other social media apps.  He says, “Every exhibit was designed with the photo in mind. People leave this place taking with them the memories through their smartphones. So, for the entertainment industry, this is so important. The old-style museum is boring. The new-style museum is the one that you can communicate easily to your friends and family, and go back and remind yourself by seeing your photos in your phone.” With 50 exhibits across 25 rooms, there are plenty of opportunities to grab selfies to impress your friends. The emphasis is clearly on fun rather than information, but the Paradox Museum tries to cater to those who want to better understand the science behind the optical illusions. Each exhibit has a QR code which can be scanned, revealing the science behind the smoke and mirrors. Kambourides says, “Every exhibit is a product of years of research and development that was done prior to COVID and during COVID.” If you've ever wondered what it might be like to be upside down in a London Tube station, then the museum has the answer. The Paradox Underground station looks like a normal Tube station if it were flipped 180 degrees. Visitors can pose on the set, snap their shots and then flip the image on their phones for a topsy-turvy effect. The museum is situated in Knightsbridge, right across from the world-famous Harrods department store. There is already a chain of Paradox museums in other cities across the world, including Paris, Miami, Stockholm, Berlin, Barcelona, Las Vegas, and Shanghai. London is the 12th site, with more planned. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

London is one of the main metropolitan areas of the world. If you think about the English capital, you can probably name ten iconic things off the top of your head. Shakespeare, Abbey Road, Buckingham Palace, Sherlock Holmes. A city that's buzzing with music and theater, in constant movement.The London metro system, or the "tube" as Londoners call it, is a symbol of the city's vitality. It's not just a network of tunnels and trains but a testament to the city's evolution. From its small beginning to the complex system, it is today, a lot of history and effort has gone into making it what it is.The Tube, the world's first underground railway, has a rich history that dates back to the construction of the Metropolitan Railway, the first metro line, inaugurated on January 10th, 1863. Today, the system boasts 275 stations organized on 11 lines, a far cry from its humble beginnings.Today, the London underground has grown and evolved alongside the city. In this episode, we delve into London's history and the Tube's evolution, culminating in the Northern Line Extension. Carlota Guiu Morros and David Drake Sloan, who spearheaded this project, share the challenges and necessities of constructing one of London's largest redevelopments in 300 years.

By about this time of year any little bit of a break we might have had over Christmas and New Year is but a dim distant memory. We're back in the grind and we're looking forward to our next break – awesome! But surely there's more to life than that. HOPE MATTERS Hope is a beautiful word, four letters, just one syllable, there's a clear, pure ring to it, isn't there? HOPE. I don't know how your year is going so far, what just three months in but for most of us there have been some ups, there have been some downs and underneath it all that constant incessant grind that we all call life, the daily ritual. I know there are some people on the London Tube with their headphones on listening in to this message today. I know that there is a farmer on his harvester listening in on his local radio station in Australia, in the US and in other places. I know that there is a man in Chicago down at the local gym probably tuned in to the podcast as he is most days and I know that there are refugees in camps wondering what the next day will bring, gathered around their radio's listening to today's message all over the world, all different circumstances. Some good, some not so good, some downright awful, I know that so here as we head into this Easter time, Berni drops the word ‘hope', pure, clean, crystal clear hope, what does it mean to you right now given where you're at, what's going on in your life? Hope. My year so far has been a bit of a mixed bag, isn't that always the way? Some great things, a short holiday with my lovely wife in January, awesome and some tough issues to grapple with here too in the ministry called Christianityworks that I'm privileged to lead. But the most constant thing, it's like a drum beat that never stops, is the daily rhythm of the grind. Up early each morning working on radio programs, dealing with staffing issues and all that comes with running an organisation that produces radio and television programs around the world. And for me, as I participate in this daily grind, punctuated from time to time with some delightful days and some dreadful days. Here's what this beautiful clear word hope means to me. It means that just around the next corner, just over the next rise there's something more, something better, something that is really worth looking forward to, much more than my next holiday or next trinket or bauble that this world may have to offer. A solid hope, a certain hope that one day the trials and tribulations of this world will be over and that I'll get to spend eternity in the presence of Jesus. It doesn't matter who we are, what sort of life we're leading, how rich or poor, north or south, east or west, our lives maybe, I believe that we've been hand crafted to hope for something in the future, I believe that there's something innate inside each one of us that no matter how much we may delight in or despise this particular day, there is that something that reaches out to the future looking forward for, well what exactly? Something better, something more, something beyond, something utterly delightful, you know it, don't you? You often dream of the future, you hope for this and that. The young woman hoping for her prince charming to ride into her life. The middle-aged man hoping for release from the yoke of the mortgage that drives him to work these long hours under so much pressure. The hope of a frail, elderly, lonely woman whose joints are racked with arthritis hoping for deliverance from this world. No matter what stage of life we're in we're always hoping for something. The sad thing is that we sometimes, often times, place our hope in things that simply can't deliver what we're looking for. I happen to enjoy technology, I like the way smartphones have revolutionised my life, sure. But I look at the hysteria, the overnight queues, the cheering and the waving that accompanies the release of certain brands of smartphones, it seems they always put it on the evening news these days as though somehow this idolatry is newsworthy and I shake my head. Surely life has to be about more than the next iPhone release, doesn't it? Might I ask you, what are you hoping for right now at this moment? What is the hope that is in you that keeps you going through the grind and through the dark days and through the fun days even? Paul the Apostle was put on trial for his very life, his judge, the Roman governor, had the power of life and death over him. And in his defence this is what he says, Acts 24: 15 and 16. I have a hope in God that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Therefore I do my best always to have a clear conscience towards God and all people. When it came to the point of life and death Paul was bold enough to tell the judge that his hope was in God, his hope was in the fact that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous and it is that hope that drives who he is, what he thinks, how he behaves. I wonder how different the life of so many people would be if instead of hoping for the trinkets that this world has to offer, instead of placing their hope in things that can't deliver and will in any case pass away – they placed their hope in the resurrection of Jesus which is a forerunner to their own resurrection one day. If this life is all there is, then it ain't all that much. If I live until I'm eighty years old then I have just under nine thousand days left to go. It's not a lot when you think about it. If I placed my hope in the here and now, well the here and now is going to be done and dusted in just under nine thousand days, not much of a hope, is it? But if the certain hope of the promised resurrection that Jesus ushered in on that very first Easter some two thousand years ago, if that's what I place my hope in then that's real, that's forever, that's a hope in the one thing that matters, a life eternal in His presence. As the drum beat of the daily humdrum pounds away in your ears what hope brings joy to your heart? What hope drives you to feel and to think and to act? Is it the right hope? Is it delivering you what you've been looking for? Well, is it? LIVING IN FEARFUL DAYS There have been days in my life, and I know you've had days like this too, where I've woken up after a fitful night's sleep with a knot in the pit of my stomach; with a sense of fear and dread so deep, so unavoidable, that I felt paralysed; unable to function; unable to face the world; unable even to see the faintest glimmer of hope for the future. Can you remember the last time you experienced that feeling? It's just awful, isn't it? You wouldn't wish it upon your worst enemy. I don't know how you celebrate Easter, but back in the days leading up to that very first Easter, there wasn't all that much celebration going on. In fact, if you were one of those twelve disciples, celebration was the very last thing on your mind. What was dominating their thinking was fear: Gut-wrenching, that knot in the pit of your stomach, will-I-be-crucified-too kind of fear. Jesus had been warning them for some time now that He would be crucified. Matthew 16:21: From that time on, Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on that third day be raised again. That seemed utterly bizarre to the disciples. I mean, they've seen Him do amazing miracles. They've seen those up-close. They've listened to sermon after powerful sermon, where He spoke not just His wisdom into life on earth, but with authority about the kingdom of heaven like nobody else. Jesus, this Jesus, captured? Crucified? Suffering? ‘No way!' says Peter. In fact (Matthew 16:22-23): Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying: ‘God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you!' But Jesus turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind Me, Satan. You are a stumbling-block to Me, for you are setting your mind not on the divine things, but on human things.'” I doubt very much that your reaction or mine would have been all that different in the face of the evidence that pointed to this Jesus being the real deal, the very Son of God, would it? And yet as the days drew closer to the time when Jesus would be betrayed and crucified you could feel the fear in the air, that the plot to assassinate Him was unmistakable. It hung in the air and the disciples weren't just confronted by the possibility of complete disillusionment of the idea of that Jesus, their Jesus, their miracle-working Jesus being crucified of all things. But in their minds, in their hearts gripped with fear they were wondering, well will I be next? Will they nail me to a cross too? Well it's the sort of thing that the Romans do. What if I get caught up in this, what if I'm nailed hands and feet to a cross? Then the chief priests and elders of the people gathered in the place of the high priest who was called Caiaphas and they conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. (Matthew chapter 26: 3) All they could see and feel, these disciples, was the fear. It's almost like they hadn't heard the rest of the prediction from Jesus, they couldn't hear it because they were afraid. While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves and he said to them, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes and they will condemn him to death. Then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified and on the third day he will be raised up'. (Matthew 20: 17 – 18) See, I see a lot of myself in those disciples. How about you? We're driven by and large, you and I, by self-interest, and there is no greater motivator than self-preservation, is there; than saving your own skin, and on those days when we're afraid, that's all we can think about. As we celebrate Easter this week, in a way that would have been so incredibly foreign to those fearful quivering disciples, I wonder how much your own self-interest obscures the powerful life-transforming message of hope that is Easter. I wonder. The sad thing is that it's especially in those dark places on those dark days that we need the peace and the hope that only Jesus can bring which is why He spoke these words to the disciples not long before the end came, John 14:27. Jesus said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives, do not let your hearts be troubled and do not let them be afraid. (John 14:27) The message of Easter is a double-sided message: Two sides of the one coin. It's a message of freedom from the past, and hope for the future. It's a message of forgiveness, and a message of a glorious future. Some years after the terrible events of that Passover the Apostle Paul put it this way, part 1 – the message of forgiveness and grace. Paul wrote: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. (Ephesians 1: 7) That bloody spectacle on the cross was all about paying the shocking price of my rebellion against God and yours. Through the suffering of Jesus we receive mercy, through the suffering of Jesus on our behalf, the punishment that we so richly deserve has been lifted from us and just a few verses later Paul talks about part 2 – the message of a glorious inheritance, the message of hope that can dwell in you and me, should dwell in you and me if we believe in Jesus. Ephesians chapter 1, verses 11 to 14. In Christ we've also obtained an inheritance having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will so that we who are the first to set our hope on Christ might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation and had believed in him were marked with a seal of the promised Holy Spirit. This is the pledge of our inheritance towards redemption as God's own people to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1: 11–14) And it's that message, that certain hope that takes the fear away. NON POMP AND CEREMONY Each year at Easter, on Good Friday and Easter Sunday the world's evening news services beam images of the Churches Easter celebrations from around the globe right onto our television screens and invariably those images look something like this: they're filmed in big lofty imposing cathedrals packed full of the faithful, there are processions of crimson clad clergy following a cross down the aisle. There are choirs covered in red and in white singing hymns and songs. There are Church leaders preaching a message to their flock. Of course not all of us celebrate Easter like that but that's the image we seem to project out into the world. But Easter is a time for both solemnity and celebration and that somehow what goes along with that is some considerable pomp and ceremony. Now the abundant use of the colour red in the clothing of many clergy, harkens back to the shedding of Jesus blood, that's what it's meant to symbolise. But as I look at those images on my television screen year after year I wonder whether the impressions I get aren't more about the apparent regal nature of the Church than the sacrifice of Jesus. And frankly, I despair at many of the messages I hear preached by the religious elite. They talk about world peace or poverty or they apologise for the abuses of the Church which it seems, in recent years, are many. And I wonder sometimes whether as a whole as the body of Christ we somehow aren't missing the point and the point of that first Easter during that fateful Passover celebration two thousand odd years ago had little, in fact no, it had nothing to do with the trappings of Easter that somehow we seemed to have heaped on the commemoration and the celebration. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the different traditions and the way they choose to commemorate and to celebrate, traditions are in many a respect are good things that is unless and until they displace the central meaning of the thing it is they represent. That first Easter didn't have any sense of pomp or ceremony about, in fact Jesus, well for Him it was a lonely time, an intensely painful time, a time when He suffered alone for you and for me. After He celebrated the Passover meal with His disciples and washed their feet and predicted that His betrayer was in their midst. Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane and he said to them, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray'. He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, ‘I am so deeply grieved even to death, stay here and stay awake with me' and going a little further he threw himself onto the ground and prayed, ‘My Father if it's possible let this cup pass from me yet not what I want but what you want'. Then he came to the disciples and he found them sleeping and he said to Peter, ‘Could you not stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into a time of trial.' The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. Again Jesus went away for a second time and he prayed, ‘My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink of it, your will be done'. Again he came and he found them sleeping for their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again he went away and prayed for the third time saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and he said to them, ‘Are you still sleeping and taking a rest? Look, the hour's at hand, the son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners, get up, let's be going, my betrayer is at hand.' (Matthew 26: 36 – 46) See, Jesus wanted His friends to be praying with Him in His hour of anguish and yet instead He wrestled with His fate alone in the dark. During His trials, there were several of them, none of His friends came and supported Him. No one stood up for Him or gave a good report about Him, NONE of them and at His arrest. While He was still speaking, Judas one of the twelve arrived and with him was a crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests and scribes and the elders. Now the betrayer had given them a sign saying, ‘The one whom I kiss is the man, arrest him and lead him away under guard.' So when he came he came up to him at once and said, ‘Rabbi' and kissed him. Then they laid hands on Jesus and arrested him but one of those who stood near draw his sword and struck the slave of the high priest cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, ‘Have you come out with your swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching and you didn't arrest me but let the Scriptures be fulfilled.' All of them deserted him and fled. A certain young man was following him wearing nothing but a linen cloth, they caught hold of him, they let the linen cloth go and he ran off naked. (Mark 14: 43 – 52) Jesus was alone and on the cross He hung alone, suffered alone, He died alone. Where was the pomp, where was the ceremony? There was none. Why am I sharing this with you? Because this Jesus understands suffering, He understands loneliness, He understands you and what you have to travel through because He's been there and He's been through much worse. Formal Easter celebrations? Great, fantastic, awesome but if sometimes you're left with that hollow feeling at Easter, as though what's going on around you doesn't really resonate with where you're at then come with me and meet this lonely Jesus, this suffering Jesus, the Jesus who was rejected and spat upon, the nailed Jesus, the gasping Jesus and remember He did this for you, for you He did this to set you free from your bondage of sin. And as you'll see over the next couple of days, He did this to bring you a certain hope through His resurrection. Romans chapter 6, verse 23. For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So, if the pomp and the ceremony perhaps haven't been connecting with you, forget about them, and rest for a while with Jesus: In the midst of the suffering; in the midst of the deepest inkiest blackness imaginable, you can claim this Scripture for your very own. 1 Corinthians 6:14: “God raised the Lord, and will also raise us by His power.” Isn't that just so awesome? When none of the Easter pomp and ceremony connects with the deepest longings of your heart, Jesus does! The One who suffered and died for you, and the One whose dead body received life again in that lonely, empty tomb. You see even the resurrection bit, even the bit where hope entered this world because death could no longer hold Him down, the death of my sins and yours that you and I so richly deserved, even in that most amazing moment in all of history where Jesus came back to life, it took place alone in the darkened tomb, away from the glare of the spotlights, away from the adulations of the crowds, away from the sight of any human eye. The dead body of Jesus came to life, colour returned to His cheeks, His heart started to beat again, He started to breathe again and the resurrection body of Jesus was ready to show the world that He came to bring us hope. I compare the two, the pomp and the ceremony of the traditional Easter celebrations of today and that amazing transaction of grace and hope that took place in the midst of extreme loneliness for Jesus. And I know which one I prefer, I know which one connects with me deep in my heart, I know which one brings hope into me – it's Jesus.

Providing up to 5 million passenger journeys a day, the London Underground is integral to the city's infrastructure.  It's impossible to imagine how the city would function without it.But why would something built for purpose become a source of admiration and entertainment?  A Transport for London style guide provides powerful evidence: "Every Underground station should include at least one moment of delight and surprise, to improve customers' journeys and the working environment for staff."A-ha! Let's meet some Tube superfans.Jen tells a story about Underground trainspotters and highlights the Tube in pop culture, while Mares looks at people who attempt the citywide Tube Challenge. We'll think about the nature of challenge, the history of tube spotting and racing challenges, and some of the unique and engaging personalities for whom the Tube (and Overground) truly is a constant delight and surprise.See our SHOW NOTES for photos, links, sources, and more.

Whether it's the excitement of the Super Bowl or the daily commute on the London Underground, security is omnipresent and paramount. Stay informed, stay secure, and let's protect our digital world together. Thanks to Jered Jones for providing the music for this episode. https://www.jeredjones.com/ Good morning, everyone. Today is Monday, February 12th, and you're listening to the daily decrypt. Yesterday was a pretty big day for television fans. I believe Taylor swift. Made an appearance, um, at the sports game. So congratulations to Taylor swift for winning the super bowl. We're going to quickly talk about the CSUs cybersecurity touchdown at the super bowl. We're going to be discussing AI surveillance at the London [00:01:00] underground. I'm gonna be talking about RustDoor which is a MacOS vulnerability. Raspberry Robin. And the evolving threat of the MoqHao Android malware. Okay, so up first, this past. Weekend we had the Superbowl. And CISA. Which is the cybersecurity infrastructure security agency. Has launched a NFL wide campaign called secure our world. And they're teaming up with the NFL to boost cybersecurity awareness. Not only at the Superbowl. But throughout the entire season with 32 of the NFL teams committing. To promoting cybersecurity tips. This is pretty cool. It's becoming more and more important to discuss ways to stay safe online. So we're really glad that the NFL is partnering with CISA. To get the word out there. You'll be [00:02:00] shocked to hear their recommendations. Which are as follows. Adopt strong passwords. Enable multi-factor authentication. Be vigilant against phishing. And keep your software up to date. These messages appeared on screens throughout Allegiant stadium. They appeared on the jumbo Tron. They appeared on posters. I believe they even. I had an ad. On the Las Vegas sphere. So, this is huge. This is going to be great. We know how much you guys love hearing lectures about how to stay safe online. And we know how much you love ignoring them. We're so excited for you to watch the Superbowl and get more of those lectures. The lectures won't stop. Until you follow that advice. This campaign is not only coming. As a result of. The huge breach on major Las Vegas casinos last year. But also because regular citizens lost over a billion dollars last year due to cyber crime. So we need to [00:03:00] start cracking down on this for your safety, for the economy. For many reasons at a macro level. So I have some friends who have spent between 10 and $80,000 to get to go to Allegiant stadium. For the super bowl. To see Taylor swift. To get a cybersecurity lecture that they couldn't get from me. And maybe they'll even see some sports. So all in all, I think that's pretty worth it. So the London underground is testing AI surveillance to detect crimes unsafe behaviors. And fare evasion. With a pilot at Willis, then green tube station. The system uses live CCTV and machine learning to issue over 44,000 alerts, including 19,000 in real time to station staff for behaviors like weapon brandishing, falling on the tracks and fare dodging. Okay, well, that's great. They're not just worried about. The money that they're losing, but they're also worried about your [00:04:00] safety. Like if someone falls on the tracks, AI can recognize that as a safety hazard and get someone over there, hopefully before a train comes. Experts worry about the ethical implications, potential expansion to facial recognition. And the lack of public awareness about the trial. And those things concern me too. It's only a fine line from using AI. To detect crimes and to detect all these things to now tracking you and your face. And feeding that information to. Big banking to Amazon, to all these people that want your data, Facebook, et cetera. I'm sure that London is not doing a great job of advertising this. So it's really important to stay up to date on this news. By sharing this podcast with them. So if you know anyone in London, go ahead and send this to them. The London underground is going to start watching. Yeah. Apple Mac OS users find themselves at the center of a sophisticated cybersecurity threat. A new rust based backdoor rust is just a programming language [00:05:00] and it's been code named rust door by bit defender. This threat has been around since November of 2023. So it's not new, but it is just coming to fruition. Rust door masquerades as an update for Microsoft visual studio, which is pretty clever because. For some reason, certain things need Microsoft visual studio to run effectively on your Mac. And. By the time you realize that that's what's missing, you're frustrated. And you just click download you, Google, Microsoft visual studio update, and you click the first thing and you click download and you walk away because it's like, 20 gigabytes. Of data that has to download over the next hour. It's so frustrating. I've done it way too many times. So attackers have realized this and they've bought Google ad space for Microsoft visual studio probably duplicated the website. So it looks exactly the same with the download button you're going there. You're clicking. Download. And you're getting malware. So, yeah. Be careful, especially for downloading Microsoft [00:06:00] visual studio. On a Mac. Raspberry Robyn. Which is a fun name is the name of malware. Used as sort of initial foothold during breaches. So it. It historically has been distributed using USB keys or malicious downloads. But it's continually evolving. And it's now harnessing one day exploits for escalated privilege. Hinting at either an exploit market purchase or in-house development by its operators. So we've talked about zero days before on this podcast. So as a reminder, a zero day is something that was built into the initial software. So when something is released, There's a vulnerability in there that the developers don't even know about. So that's, what's called a zero day. Uh, one day is when the developers find [00:07:00] out about that vulnerability. Now we're in this weird limbo, which is called a one day. Where the developers know and are working on developing a patch, which will come to you via a security update. And now all bad actors also know about this vulnerability. So they're hustling to get out an exploit. For this vulnerability and it's sort of a race between the developers trying to fix it and the bad actors trying to exploit it. So. Raspberry Robin has successfully exploited. What's called a one day, which we just discussed. And it has become harder and harder to detect and analyze because it employs anti analysis and obfuscation techniques. It is also now using discord. For a platform to distribute this malware instead of a USB key. And introduces what's called PAE exec. For lateral movement and a refined command and control method using a list of tour addresses to maintain communications stealth. So there's a lot in there. But [00:08:00] over the past couple of weeks doing this podcast, I've seen discord being used for a lot of things. Uh, I know I am clicking these server, join links all the time and join servers and then leave them. I'm going to be joining less servers moving forward. And I'll be very picky about the ones that I do decide to join. And finally we've got the evolving threat of the MoqHao Android malware. So this malware. Has been around for a few years, but. As of recently it now executes automatically on infected devices. So there's no user action required. The malware is like to roaming mantis, a Chinese cyber crime group focused on financial gain. And it starts with SMS messages containing fraudulent links. So maybe you have a package [00:09:00] coming in. Today and you get a message from someone, someone@gmail.com saying your package has been delayed. Click the link. That's how you get it. As soon as it's downloaded, it demands risky permissions from the phone. In July of 22. Sequoia. Reported over 70,000 Android devices in France were compromised. So. How can you prevent this? Like CISA said at the Superbowl, be vigilant with phishing links. Make sure your devices are up to date. And. If you notice any weird slowdowns on your devices Turn it off. Turn it back on again. Maybe even reset it. Alrighty, that's it for today, guys. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoyed this new format, bringing you a little bit more news in a little bit shorter of a format. Thanks for tuning in and we will talk to you tomorrow. [00:10:00]

Adam Slater is a British explorer from Birmingham, England. Adam has been exploring abandoned places since early 2000s. He belongs to community of urban explorers on 28dayslater.co.uk forum. Adam explored the UK's ‘UrbEx Holy Grail', a nuclear bunker from the Cold War era that served as England's Central Government War Headquarters. The Cabinet Office commissioned this subterranean urban fortress during the 1950s when the West faced an imminent threat of all-out nuclear war. Although the facility was commonly referred to as a bunker, the UK government never used this term officially. Instead, they used various codenames, such as "Burlington," to refer to the facility. His other impressive lactation is the decommissioned Soviet submarine nicknamed 'Black Widow', which was equipped with 22 nuclear warheads and 53 explosive mines, possessing an explosive power equivalent to that of the Hiroshima bomb. During this part of the interview we discussed the concept of "urbex tourism" and the differences between exploring new and already-visited locations. During the interview, Adam shared a plethora of fascinating stories from his 20-year-long exploration journey. Our discussion triggered my introspection on numerous facets of this hobby, such as its distinctiveness, the driving force behind it, and the essential elements associated with it. Due to the multitude of stories present in the interview, I cannot share all of them in the notes. Therefore, I highly recommend tuning in to this thought-provoking conversation with one of the most productive explorers in the UK.
