Send us a textIt started with a few flickering screens in a Danish office. Within minutes, a digital plague had paralyzed global trade, leaving the world's largest shipping company powerless and its massive vessels adrift. But this attack wasn't for ransom—it was for pure destruction. In the premiere of Digital Fallout, we uncover the story of a geopolitical cyber weapon that escaped its cage and the unbelievable, accidental miracle that saved a global empire from permanent deletion. This is the story of how our physical world hangs by a fragile digital thread.Show Notes: SourcesOur story today was built on the foundation of incredible investigative journalism from reporters who covered this event extensively. For listeners who want to dive deeper into the story of the NotPetya attack, these are the primary sources we recommend:"The Untold Story of NotPetya, the Most Devastating Cyberattack in History," an article by Andy Greenberg for WIRED magazine, forms the core of the public narrative regarding Maersk's experience.The book "Sandworm: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers" by Andy Greenberg provides deep context on the attackers and the geopolitical landscape.Financial and logistical impact reporting from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Reuters was published in the weeks and months following the June 2017 attack.Public statements and quarterly financial reports from A.P.

Hacks used to be impressive, utilizing bits and pieces of technology that made us sit up and pay attention. Nowadays, every scam, breach, or sketchy text message gets labelled a "hack" when it's really just basic use of existing technology, or an outright scam. Let's take a closer look at how the meaning of “hack” has changed, from the complex brilliance of NotPetya in 2017, to today's flood of scams powered by stolen data and AI fakery. It's the end of the Age of the Great Hack, and the rise of the Age of Many Scams.Resources:Healthcare Data Breach StatisticsBeing Infected by NotPetya: What Maersk learnedNotPetya: A Columbia University Case StudySend us a textDigital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showJoin our Patreon to listen ad-free!

The 2017 NotPetya cyberattack remains one of the most devastating and costly breaches in history, inflicting over $1.4 billion in damages on pharmaceutical giant Merck. What made this attack especially alarming was its simplicity: a single overprivileged service account became the key that unlocked chaos across Merck's global network. In episode 74 of the Hybrid Identity Protection Podcast, host Sean Deuby sits down with Lance Peterman, CIDPRO, who was on the front lines during the breach. Lance shares a rare, firsthand account of how the attack unfolded, the critical identity vulnerabilities that were exploited, and the long road to recovery.

In diesem Deep Dive analysieren wir die Operationen des russischen APT Akteurs Sandworm/APT44 von ihren ersten Angriffen bis zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen. Wir untersuchen, wie Sandworm Russlands geopolitische Agenda durch gezielte Angriffe auf ukrainische Stromnetze, globale Lieferketten wie bei NotPetya und mobile Kriegsführung mit Infamous Chisel vorantreibt. Wir zeigen die Vielfalt ihrer Methoden - von Propaganda über Sabotage bis hin zur Unterstützung des Angriffskriegs Russland in der Ukraine - und beleuchten die Reaktionen von NATO, EU und Technologieunternehmen.

The purpose of Russian hacking and their concept of cyber war is conceptually and practically different from Western strategies.  This talk will focus on understanding why Russia uses cyber tools to further strategic interests, how they do it (by examining the 2016 interference in the U.S. presidential election and the NotPetya cases), and who does it. About the speaker: Dr. Richard Love is currently a professor at NDU's College of Information and Cyberspace and recently served as a professor of strategic studies at U.S. Army War College's (USAWC) School of Strategic Landpower and as assistant director of the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute from 2016-2021. From 2002 to 2016, Dr. Love served as a professor and senior research fellow at NDU's Institute for National Strategic Studies / WMD Center.  He is an adjunct professor teaching law, international relations, and public policy at Catholic University and has taught law and policy courses at Georgetown, the Army Command and General Staff College, the Marshall Center, and the Naval Academy, among others.  He holds a Ph.D. in International Relations and Security Studies from the University of New South Wales in Australia (2017), an LLM from American University School of Law (2002), and a Juris Doctor in Corporate and Security Law from George Mason University School of Law. His graduate studies in East-West relations were conducted at the Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland, and the University of Munich, in Germany.  His undergraduate degree is from the University of Virginia.

In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, we set sail into the world of maritime cybersecurity with one of the foremost experts in the field, Dr. Gary Kessler. From GPS spoofing to autonomous vessels, Gary breaks down the evolving threats facing modern ships and ports as they become increasingly digitized and connected. With over 50 years of experience in cybersecurity and a lifelong connection to the water, Gary shares how his career merged passion and profession, leading to groundbreaking research in AIS spoofing and maritime threat mitigation.We explore the real-world cyber risks impacting global logistics, including the infamous 2017 NotPetya attack on Maersk, the rise of ghost and dark fleets, and how pirates are using hacked logistics systems to target high-value cargo. Gary also explains why the term “cybersecurity” may miss the mark—and why protecting the information itself is what really matters.Plus, hear about the upcoming Maritime Hacking Village at DEFCON and how you can get involved.

Our guest Tod Eberle is the Alliance Director of the Shadowserver Foundation, a non-profit security organization working altruistically behind the scenes to make the internet more secure for everyone. [3:15] Tod Eberle is with us to discuss the cybersecurity trends on his risk radar and the threats he wants risk professionals to be aware of as 2025 kicks into high gear. Shadowserver Alliance Director, Tod Eberle, welcome to RIMScast! [3:41] Justin saw that Shadowserver Foundation was promoted by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and he thought it would be great to have a follow-up on his appearance there. [3:54] Tod says the National Cybersecurity Alliance is a great organization. After working together with them for a year, they invited Tod to do a webinar. It was a great experience. [4:28] Tod's background is as a career prosecutor, starting as a county prosecutor in Western Pennsylvania in 1997. In 2004, Tod became a Federal Prosecutor in Pittsburgh for the U.S. Department of Justice. [5:00] In 2014, He transitioned over to the National Security and Cybercrime section in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was at the forefront of cyber investigations by both the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI. Tod wanted to be a part of that. [5:34] The Pittsburgh office has run investigations and issued indictments against Chinese Military Intelligence officers and Russian GRU officers for hacking. In 2014, Pittsburgh had the first criminal indictment of nation-state threat actors. [6:00] In that case, Chinese Military Intelligence PLA officers hacked into Pittsburgh companies Westinghouse, ALCOA, U.S. Steel, and United Steel Workers. Some forward-thinking folks at the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office, particularly U.S. Attorney David Hickton, focused on cyber. [6:29] That continued over the years until the present. [6:46] To begin an investigation, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh, need to have some aspect of an organization's criminal activity touch that district, the Western District of Pennsylvania. A national ransomware case with one victim in Pittsburgh can be investigated. [7:16] In the investigation of Russian GRU actors responsible for the destructive NotPetya malware attack, a district hospital's network was attacked and destroyed. They expanded the investigation and charging documents to include other attacks around the country. [7:58] In 2015 Tod was a prosecutor working with the FBI on an investigation. He was at Europol at the Hague in the Netherlands, a center that brings together investigators and prosecutors from different countries who investigate the same threat group through Europol and Eurojust. [8:33] Tod met the Shadowserver Foundation non-profit group at the Hague in 2015. They were helping, through free technical support to the takedown operation, to dismantle the infrastructure of a crime group, using sinkholing and other security measures. [9:08] Tod Joined the Shadowserver Foundation in January of 2023. He is the Shadowserver Alliance Director. As a small non-profit, everyone wears many hats. The Shadowserver Foundation is a 501(c)(3) in the U.S. and a separate non-profit legal entity in the Netherlands. [9:47] The Shadowserver Foundation started about 2004. It celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024. It began as a loose group of volunteers made up of cybersecurity researchers and technical experts who came together to help network owners and law enforcement. [10:15] Over the years they became more structured and became a non-profit organization. It's an unusual non-profit organization working 100% in operations. It works in three core areas. First, it's the world's largest provider of free, actionable cyber threat intelligence. [10:45] Second, the Shadowserver Foundation does cybersecurity capacity-building around the world. Third, it also provides free support to law enforcement investigations and disruption operations with technical support and expertise. Those three things are its core mission. [11:07] Justin notes commonalities between RIMS cyber risk reporting and the Shadowserver Foundation's work. Shadowserver collects a vast amount of threat data daily. What are the patterns it sees for 2025? [11:29] Shadowserver Foundation can help organizations mitigate risks. It collects cyber threat data at its data center in California through internet-wide scanning, honeypot sensors, sinkholing operations, and collecting and analyzing malware samples. [11:57] Every day for free the Shadowserver Foundation takes that data and provides it to over 9,000 organizations around the world and to 201 National C-CERTs that cover about 176 countries. [12:13] These reports identify exposed, misconfigured, vulnerable, compromised instances or devices on networks that need patching. [12:25] The organizations that get Shadowserver's data can be anything from banks to hospitals, universities, K-12 school districts, ISPs, local, state, and federal governments, small, medium, and large businesses, Fortune 500s, and NGOs; just about anyone can sign up. [12:46] The idea behind this is that cyber security should be available to everyone, regardless of the ability to pay. Organizations can sign up at the Shadowserver Foundation website, and provide their contact information and network information with IP ranges and ASNs. [13:12] The Shadowserver Foundation does its due diligence and if everything checks out, it automates those reports to go out to the organization daily. About 9,000 organizations sign up directly to receive daily reports. [13:22] The Shadowserver Foundation also sends out data for entire countries to the national C-CERT designated to handle that in those countries. In the U.S., CISA gets hundreds of millions of events from them every day for all the U.S. It is the same around the world. [13:52] Tod says that some things never change. Networks are breached primarily through phishing attacks, malicious links or attachments, and social engineering. [14:09] One trend is a focus on vulnerabilities. Criminals exploit vulnerabilities in the network that aren't timely patched and before they are patched. Shadowserver gives organizations an external snapshot view of their networks just as criminals are scanning for themselves. [14:52] Cybercriminal groups increasingly leverage zero-day vulnerabilities to breach a network. A zero-day vulnerability is a flaw in software or hardware that's unknown to the vendor and has no patch. The vendor has had zero days to fix the vulnerability after it has been discovered. [15:16] That was the case with the Clop ransomware gang. In 2024, they started exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in Fortra's GoAnywhere software. That continued in May, with them exploiting Progress Software's MOVEit file transfer application. [15:38] Very recently, in December, the Clop Ransomware group claimed responsibility for using a zero-day vulnerability in Clio's file transfer platform that breached victims' networks. [15:49] Cyber criminals extort victims and steal data with ransomware attacks. Risk managers in cybersecurity need to stay on top of critical vulnerabilities that often go unpatched. Those are often the easiest gateway into a network. [16:26] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Resolver will be joining us on February 6th to discuss “4 Themes Shaping the Future of GRC in 2025”. [16:38] HUB International continues its Ready for Tomorrow Series with RIMS. On February 20th, they will host “Ready for the Unexpected? Strategies for Property Valuation, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in 2025”. [16:54] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [17:06] Nominations are also open for the Donald M. Stuart Award which recognizes excellence in risk management in Canada. Links are in this episode's show notes. [17:17] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved in part by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [17:35] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in general grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process will open on May 1st, 2025, and close on July 30th, 2025. [17:58] General grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's general grants through the Programs tab at SpencerEd.org. [18:08] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with Tod Eberle of Shadowserver! [18:49] Justin notes that In December of 2024, China attackers breached the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. That is the government office that assesses foreign investments for national security risks. [18:58] China also targeted the Treasury's Sanctions Office after it sanctioned a Chinese company for its alleged role in cyberattacks. [19:14] Tod thinks we should acknowledge that this is nothing new and nothing we should be surprised about. It's been going on for many years and it's going to continue. Justin was in the Federal government in 2013 and 2014. [19:32] In 2015, it was announced that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management had been breached. Personal sensitive data for 42 million people were stolen. [19:44] In May 2014, five Chinese military officers were indicted for computer hacking and economic espionage against companies based in Pittsburgh. This is nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, indictments don't seem to have a deterrent effect. [20:21] Countries can deny the charges of hacking even with strong evidence of their involvement. [20:37] There are different types of hacking, with different types of motivation. There is traditional espionage against U.S. government agencies. There is theft of intellectual property with nation-states trying to gain a commercial advantage in business. [21:23] There are destructive hacks by nation-state actors, like the NotPetya attack, or attacks on the Ukrainian power grid and banking systems in 2015 and 2016. [21:36] The Volt Typhoon threat actor group and its access to the U.S. critical infrastructure is one of the greatest national security concerns because of its potential to disrupt everything from water to power, to food, to transportation. [22:10] The ripple effect that can come from those disruptions would be enormous. The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack of a few years ago affected fuel supplies, commerce, and the prices of goods. [22:31] Nation-state hacking is no longer just a concern for government agencies and companies that do business internationally, but it's now a concern for all of society. There's the potential to affect the daily lives of innocent civilians through attacks on critical infrastructure. [23:16] Tod mentions another 2014 indictment out of Pittsburgh, on the GameOver Zeus Botnet takedown. Part of that was a crypto locker ransomware disruption. This was in the infancy of ransomware, for $300 ransoms. Now ransom demands are in the tens of millions of dollars. [23:53] We have seen a huge evolution in ransomware. It's not going away. One thing we're seeing is bypassing data encryption and focusing on data theft. It's easier and less time-consuming for the threat actors because they don't have to map out the network. [24:41] If a victim company had good backups and easy restoration, that was an issue ransomware actors had to deal with, so why would the threat actors bother with that? They just focus on easy data theft and extortion of ransom for the data. [25:04] Tod thinks we will continue to see extortion. Ransomware continues to be the greatest concern for companies. The use of AI has been increasing both for defenders and attackers.  [25:14] A new ransomware group, FunkSec, is claiming large numbers of victims of extortion, encryption, and data theft. They seem to have ransom demands of less than $10,000. They have sold stolen data. Researchers think this is a less experienced group using AI to write code. [27:22] Shadowserver's very talented team collects the data. It's free. They want to get it into the hands of those who can use it. The reports identify things that are seen to be misconfigured or unnecessarily exposed to the internet. Sometimes they can show if something is compromised. [28:12] Shadowserver designates the events by severity level so the end user can prioritize their patching and address first the ones that are most critical and severe. The reports act both as an early warning system and a victim notification system if a device is seen to be compromised. [28:59] The network owner needs to remediate that and patch it before further exploitation like a ransomware attack can occur. [29:07] Shadowserver has two ways to detect that a device is compromised. The first is if they have indicators that tell them a device on the network is compromised. The second is with their support for law enforcement, law enforcement may share sensitive data with Shadowserve. [29:32] When law enforcement does a takedown and they get victim identification data like IP addresses, they must do victim notification. Law enforcement isn't scaled to do victim notification for hundreds of thousands of users. Shadowserver helps them with notifications. [30:48] Shadowserver is very careful to share data responsibly. Company A will get the data they have for Company A and it won't be shared with Company B and vice versa. Shadowserver views the data as belonging to that network owner. [31:08] If a company authorizes Shadowserver and wants them to share their data with a third party, Shadowserver will happily do it. There are several companies with MSSPs to manage their security. If the company asks, Shadowserver will send the data to their MSSP. [31:43] As a small, non-profit organization, not everyone has heard of the Shadowserver Foundation. They want people to know they have this data and they want to share it. It could be relevant for cyber insurance companies' due diligence, with the insurance applicant's consent. [32:20] It's important because those reports can show whether a network has remained healthy and secure over time. Tod would love to see Shadowserver be able to help more in the risk mitigation areas. [32:56] Special thanks again to Shadowserver Foundation's Tod Eberle for joining us here on RIMScast!

This episode of the Lloyd's List Podcast was brought to you by Veson. Visit veson.com/decision-advantage for more information. Ten years or so ago, when the University of Plymouth ran their first cybersecurity symposium, the number attendees barely made double figures. This week, held in the main hall of the International Maritime Organization on London's Albert Embankment, the same event attracted more than 300, from shipping companies in almost every sector. Clearly, the topic has gained attention and traction, partly down to the repeated warnings of horror stories the industry continues to receive, right the way up to hackers being able to remotely control very large crude carriers. There have been several high-profile cyber incidents in shipping since the devastating NotPetya attack which cost Maersk more than $250m in 2017. The Port of Seattle, the Port of Lisbon and class society DNV can all count themselves of cyber attacks in the last two years. But the apocalyptic vision that has been painted for the industry time and time again hasn't materialised yet. So, how worried should we really be about cybersecurity in shipping? Joining Joshua on the podcast this week are: Kevin Jones, professor of computer science and director of the Maritime Cyber Threats Research Group, University of Plymouth Daniel Ng, chief executive of Cyberowl Svante Einarsson, head of cybersecurity maritime for EMEA and APAC, DNV Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, maritime chief executive, DNV

On July 19, the CrowdStrike outage was all over the news. But what was it really about, and what does it have to do with all of us? While the outage was repaired quickly, the fact that it affected so many systems we depend on is a wakeup call reminiscent of crippling cybersecurity attacks. In this episode, we look at what happened, how it relates to other outages including targeted cybersecurity attacks, and how we can protect ourselves from the fallout of such outages in the future.Resources:Washington Post: The hospitals, airlines and banks affected by the global IT outageVideo: Times Square billboards with Blue Screen of DeathForbes: CrowdStrike Windows Outage—What Happened And What To Do NextWindows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OSSupport the Show.Visit us on Patreon for bonus content and special offers!

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss the GRU-backed cyber unit Sandworm which was recently promoted to APT44 by Mandiant.Sandworm is a notorious hacking group, believed to be linked to Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU. Known for its destructive cyberattacks, Sandworm has targeted various sectors worldwide, including energy, media, and election systems. Their activities are marked by the use of sophisticated malware and tactics that not only seek to steal information but also to disrupt critical infrastructure. The group gained international prominence with attacks like NotPetya in 2017, which caused billions of dollars in damage across multiple countries, emphasizing their capability to impact global cyber stability.The name "Sandworm" is inspired by the monstrous creatures from Frank Herbert's science fiction novel "Dune," reflecting the group's elusive and destructive nature. Over the years, Sandworm's operations have evolved, showcasing their adaptability and the increasing complexity of their attacks. This evolution highlights the growing challenges in cybersecurity, making the understanding of such threat actors crucial for developing robust defense strategies against state-sponsored cyber warfare.YouTube video showing Sandworm attacking a Ukrainian power plant here.Episode #56 - When the lights went out in Ukraine (Part 1)Episode #74 - When the lights went out in Ukraine (Part 2)Episode #16 - NotPetya

In this episode of the Security Squawk podcast, we dive deep into the rapidly shifting landscape of cybersecurity and the ripple effects that breaches have on organizations worldwide. We begin by discussing the monumental court ruling favoring Merck's $1.4 billion insurance claim post the NotPetya cyberattack. The breaches at Leaseweb, Prospect Medical, and the University of Michigan reveal diverse sectors' vulnerabilities. But it's not just private entities in the crosshairs; even the US government's email servers have faced recent zero-day attacks. Additionally, with data breaches like Mom's Meals affecting millions, and the University of California locking horns with Lloyd's of London over cyber insurance, it's evident that digital security and its implications are more profound than ever. Join us as we dissect these events and shed light on the crucial lessons businesses and institutions should draw from them.

The “godfather of AI” has left Google, offering warnings about the existential risks for humanity of the technology. Mark MacCarthy calls those risks a fantasy, and a debate breaks out between Mark, Nate Jones, and me. There's more agreement on the White House summit on AI risks, which seems to have followed Mark's “let's worry about tomorrow tomorrow” prescription. I think existential risks are a bigger concern, but I am deeply skeptical about other efforts to regulate AI, especially for bias, as readers of Cybertoonz know. I argue again that regulatory efforts to eliminate bias are an ill-disguised effort to impose quotas more widely, which provokes lively pushback from Jim Dempsey and Mark. Other prospective AI regulators, from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)'s Lina Khan to the Italian data protection agency, come in for commentary. I'm struck by the caution both have shown, perhaps due to their recognizing the difficulty of applying old regulatory frameworks to this new technology. It's not, I suspect, because Lina Khan's FTC has lost its enthusiasm for pushing the law further than it can be pushed. This week's example of litigation overreach at the FTC include a dismissed complaint in a location data case against Kochava, and a wildly disproportionate ‘remedy” for what look like Facebook foot faults in complying with an earlier FTC order.  Jim brings us up to date on a slew of new state privacy laws in Montana, Indiana, and Tennessee. Jim sees them as business-friendly alternatives to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California's privacy law. Mark reviews Pornhub's reaction to the Utah law on kids' access to porn. He thinks age verification requirements are due for another look by the courts.   Jim explains the state appellate court decision ruling that the NotPetya attack on Merck was not an act of war and thus not excluded from its insurance coverage. Nate and I recommend Kim Zetter's revealing story on the  SolarWinds hack. The details help to explain why the Cyber Safety Review Board hasn't examined SolarWinds—and why it absolutely has to—because the full story is going to embarrass a lot of powerful institutions. In quick hits,  Mark makes a bold prediction about the fate of Canada's law requiring Google and Facebook to pay when they link to Canadian media stories: Just like in Australia, the tech giants and the industry will reach a deal.  Jim and I comment on the three-year probation sentence for Joe Sullivan in the Uber “misprision of felony” case—and the sentencing judge's wide-ranging commentary.  I savor the impudence of the hacker who has broken into Russian intelligence's bitcoin wallets and burned the money to post messages doxing the agencies involved. And for those who missed it, Rick Salgado and I wrote a Lawfare article on why CISOs should support renewal of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) section 702, and Metacurity named it one of the week's “Best Infosec-related Long Reads.”  Download 456th Episode (mp3)  You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed.

This week's example of litigation overreach at the FTC include a dismissed complaint in a location data case against Kochava, and a wildly disproportionate ‘remedy” for what look like Facebook foot faults in complying with an earlier FTC order.  Jim brings us up to date on a slew of new state privacy laws in Montana, Indiana, and Tennessee. Jim sees them as business-friendly alternatives to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California's privacy law. Mark reviews Pornhub's reaction to the Utah law on kids' access to porn. He thinks age verification requirements are due for another look by the courts.   Jim explains the state appellate court decision ruling that the NotPetya attack on Merck was not an act of war and thus not excluded from its insurance coverage. Nate and I recommend Kim Zetter's revealing story on the  SolarWinds hack. The details help to explain why the Cyber Safety Review Board hasn't examined SolarWinds—and why it absolutely has to—because the full story is going to embarrass a lot of powerful institutions. In quick hits,  Mark makes a bold prediction about the fate of Canada's law requiring Google and Facebook to pay when they link to Canadian media stories: Just like in Australia, the tech giants and the industry will reach a deal.  Jim and I comment on the three-year probation sentence for Joe Sullivan in the Uber “misprision of felony” case—and the sentencing judge's wide-ranging commentary.  I savor the impudence of the hacker who has broken into Russian intelligence's bitcoin wallets and burned the money to post messages doxing the agencies involved. And for those who missed it, Rick Salgado and I wrote a Lawfare article on why CISOs should support renewal of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) section 702, and Metacurity named it one of the week's “Best Infosec-related Long Reads.”  Download 456th Episode (mp3)  You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed.

Are K-12 organizations and universities prepared for the onslaught of cyber threats? How long does it take me to find a vulnerable school district, it ain't long? An appeals court has upheld Merck's claim in the the NotPetya case. What does that mean for cyber insurance, and why does this make me so happy? Iran is moving quickly into the realm of influence operations, are they mirroring the Russian operations and how will this affect the upcoming election cycle? ChatGPT had a breach issue, how much of a threat or problem is this? Should we have expected anything less? Phishing is getting worse, statistically speaking, but how is this possible with all of the training we get? Is there a technical alternative that works? Those questions and more on this episode!

Iran integrates influence and cyber operations. ChatGPT use and misuse. Phishing reports increased significantly so far in 2023, while HTML attacks double. An update on the Discord Papers. Cyberstrikes against civilian targets. My conversation with our own Simone Petrella on emerging cyber workforce strategies. Tim Starks from the Washington Post joins me with reflections on the RSA conference. And, turns out, a war clause cannot be invoked in denying damage claims in the NotPetya attacks (at least not in the Garden State).

David Finz, speaks to the recent court case where Merck won an appeal in the Superior Court of New Jersey regarding a property insurance claim they filed after being impacted by the NotPetya attack. The court found that the exclusion for hostile warlike actions did not apply to the situation and was not written in a way that would be triggered in the absence of a physical or military attack.

In Nicole Perlroth's blockbuster 2021 book, “This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends,” the former New York Times journalist conveys cybersecurity experts' mounting anxiety about increasingly dangerous digital threats. From spyware to ransomware, the black market for cyber tools that skirt the law is lucrative and often poorly understood. Nicole points to catastrophic cyberattacks like NotPetya, a 2017 ransomware look-alike that attempted to obliterate Ukraine's critical infrastructure before causing billions of dollars in damages worldwide. But even with geopolitical tensions now at a fever pitch, Nicole, now a cybersecurity advisor and investor, explains why “mutually assured digital destruction” has so far helped stave off major attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure. ---------Also covered in the podcast: * The importance of educating board members about cybersecurity * What constitutes a cyber weapon* Why Nicole is optimistic about the future of ransomware

This week host Derek E. Silva joins Amit Serper, Director of Security Research at Sternum and a former member of an elite cyber unit in the Israeli government. Amit, who disabled the infamous NotPetya attack in 2017, shares the story about one of the biggest cyber attacks in history and the elite hackers behind it. Join us as we dive into the ever-evolving world of cyber security issues that are shaping our world.

In this episode I talk with Amit Serper who became famous for finding a way to stop the NotPetya ransomware from spreading and causing more damage than it already inflicted.

In this episode of the Cybersecurity Defenders podcast, we recount some hacker history and tell the story of Amit Serper, a hacker and reverse engineer, who was instrumental in stopping the most devastating cyber attack in history: NotPetya.On 27 June 2017, a major global cyberattack began (Ukrainian companies were among the first to state they were being attacked), utilizing a new variant of Petya. On that day, Kaspersky Lab reported infections in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, but that the majority of infections targeted Russia and Ukraine, where more than 80 companies were initially attacked, including the National Bank of Ukraine. ESET estimated on 28 June 2017 that 80% of all infections were in Ukraine, with Germany second hardest hit with about 9%.Russian president Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, stated that the attack had caused no serious damage in Russia. Experts believed this was a politically-motivated attack against Ukraine, since it occurred on the eve of the Ukrainian holiday Constitution Day.Kaspersky dubbed this variant "NotPetya", as it has major differences in its operations in comparison to earlier variants. McAfee engineer Christiaan Beek stated that this variant was designed to spread quickly, and that it had been targeting "complete energy companies, the power grid, bus stations, gas stations, the airport, and banks".This episode was written by Nathaniel Nelson, narrated by Christopher Luft and produced by the team at LimaCharlie.The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast: a show about cybersecurity and the people that defend the internet.

Amit Serper is the Director of Security Research at Sternum IoT and is the one who found a 'vaccine' for NotPetya. He believes it's time to look past the ‘patchability' approach and implement a ‘vaccine' like solution. In this episode Amot talks about embedded device security, the vaccine approach, and introduces some of the key aspects of Sternum IoT's autonomous security and observability platform.

When you hear the word cyber-attack, what comes to mind? Someone hacking into your email, or stealing your Facebook password?As it turns out, our most critical infrastructure can be hacked. Our banks, water treatment facilities, and nuclear power plants can be deactivated and even controlled simply by finding bugs in the software used to operate them. Suddenly, cyber-attack takes on a different meaning.This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're talking with cyber-security expert Nicole Perlroth. Nicole spent a decade as the lead cyber-security reporter at The New York Times, and is now a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Advisory Committee. She recently published “This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends” — an in-depth exploration of the global cyber arms race.CORRECTIONS: In the episode, Nicole says that "the United States could have only afforded 2 to 3 more days of Colonial Pipeline being down before it ground the country — our economy — to a halt." The correct number is actually 3 to 5 days. She also refers to a 2015 study researching why some countries have significantly fewer successful cyber-attacks relative to cyber-attack attempts. That study was actually published in 2016.RECOMMENDED MEDIA This Is How They Tell Me The World EndsNicole Perlroth's 2021 book investigating the global cyber-weapons arms raceReporter Page at the New York TimesNicole's articles while the lead cyber-security reporter at the New York TimesThe Global Cyber-Vulnerability Report (in brief)Brief of a 2015 study by the Center for Digital International Government, Virginia Tech, and the University of Maryland that researched why some countries have significantly fewer successful cyber-attacks relative to cyber-attack attemptsRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES The Dark Side Of Decentralization with Audrey Kurth Cronin: https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/49-the-dark-side-of-decentralizationIs World War III Already Here?
