We're back with a brand-new season of Random but Memorable! ✨

Managed service providers (MSPs) are increasingly allocating budgets for ransomware payments, with a recent report indicating that 45% have set aside funds specifically for this purpose. This trend raises concerns about normalizing the act of paying criminals, as many experts argue that such practices inadvertently support criminal activities. While some MSPs are turning to cyber insurance for protection, a significant portion remains vulnerable due to a lack of allocated budgets for ransomware payments or insurance. Additionally, MSP leaders are increasingly worried about artificial intelligence threats, which have surpassed traditional concerns like ransomware and malware.A study by AppOmni reveals a troubling disconnect in the security posture of organizations using software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. Despite 75% of organizations reporting breaches in the past year, 89% believe they have adequate visibility into their security environments. The study highlights that many incidents stem from permission issues and misconfigurations, emphasizing the need for improved security hygiene. Providers are urged to focus on addressing these basic issues rather than preparing for ransom payments, as this is where they can truly add value and protect their clients.In a concerning development, a startup has been found selling hacked data from over 50 million computers to various industries, including debt collectors and divorce attorneys. This practice raises ethical and legal questions, as the sale of such information may not be illegal in many jurisdictions. Additionally, researchers have discovered nearly 2,000 AI protocol servers exposed online without any authentication, posing significant risks to sensitive data. Experts warn that individuals whose data is sold may remain unaware of the exploitation of their personal information, highlighting the urgent need for stronger data protections.The UK government is reconsidering its demand for Apple to provide access to encrypted user data, influenced by pressure from the U.S. government. This shift comes after Apple withdrew its Advanced Data Protection Service from the UK, emphasizing its commitment to user privacy. Meanwhile, Meta has rejected the EU's Code of Practice for Artificial Intelligence, citing concerns over regulatory overreach. In contrast, OpenAI has formed a strategic partnership with the UK government to enhance the country's AI infrastructure, indicating a growing trend of governments aligning with major tech players in the AI sector. For MSPs, these developments underscore the importance of engaging in conversations about encryption resilience and understanding the evolving regulatory landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 45% of MSPs Planning to Pay Hackers?

The first computer virus is believed to have been used in 1969 at the University of Washington Computer Center. A person who has never been named installed a program that came to be known as “RABBITS Virus” on one of the computers. The program began replicating itself until it overwhelmed the computer causing it to shut down. Over the years, the scale and sophistication of cyber attacks has increased and with the advent of AI, digital criminals have jumped on the AI bandwagon and become more lethal.

In this episode, I address listener feedback and corrections regarding use of public Wi-Fi, MAC addresses, and aliases. I dive deep into the nuances of MAC address randomization on GrapheneOS versus Apple's private Wi-Fi addresses, explaining why GrapheneOS offers superior privacy protection.

Why does security awareness training so often fail? In this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash welcomes Living Security CEO Ashley M. Rose to discuss this common issue. They explore how compliance-driven, "check-the-box" training creates a false sense of security. This old model relies on vanity metrics and rituals instead of reducing actual human risk.Ashley presents a better way forward through human risk management. This modern strategy moves beyond simple phishing tests and integrates data from your existing security tools. It provides a full view of employee behavior to identify and address risks proactively. The goal is to make security training engaging and effective, not just another task to ignore.The conversation also covers the nuanced relationship between human risk management and insider threat programs. AJ and Ashley discuss how to empower employees and transform them from a potential liability into an organization's greatest security asset, creating a stronger, more resilient workforce.Send us a textSupport the show

Managed service providers (MSPs) are currently facing unprecedented pressure from clients regarding cybersecurity, with a significant increase in expectations for MSPs to manage their cybersecurity infrastructure. A recent survey revealed that 84% of MSPs report their clients now expect them to handle cybersecurity end-to-end, a notable rise from 65% the previous year. This shift comes as MSPs themselves are under increased scrutiny, with 77% reporting heightened oversight of their security practices. The growing concern over emerging threats, particularly those related to artificial intelligence, has further complicated the landscape, as MSPs find themselves caught between rising client demands and a lack of accountability from cybersecurity vendors.In a related development, a fraudulent impersonator has been using artificial intelligence to mimic the voice and writing style of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, successfully contacting several high-level officials to manipulate them for sensitive information. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities in secure communication channels and the ease with which attackers can exploit lax data security among government officials. The FBI has issued warnings about ongoing malicious messaging campaigns that utilize AI-generated voice messaging, emphasizing the need for enhanced verification protocols in executive communications.Additionally, attackers have been exploiting Microsoft 365's direct send feature to launch phishing attacks, impacting over 70 organizations. This method allows attackers to send emails that appear to come from legitimate internal addresses, bypassing traditional security measures. Research indicates that conventional phishing awareness training is largely ineffective, with many employees failing to recognize phishing attempts even after training. The study suggests a shift towards interactive training methods, which have proven more effective in reducing the likelihood of falling victim to such scams.Ingram Micro has begun restoring customer ordering capabilities following a ransomware attack that temporarily disabled its systems, but the company's lack of communication during the crisis has raised concerns among partners. The incident serves as a case study in breach communication, highlighting the importance of transparency and effective communication in maintaining trust. Meanwhile, Kaseya has expanded its community investment with the Technology Marketing Toolkit, aimed at enhancing resources for MSPs. However, questions remain about the potential cultural clash and the impact on the independence of the Toolkit's offerings within Kaseya's larger ecosystem. Four things to know today 00:00 MSPs Face Rising Cybersecurity Pressure as Clients Demand Full Protection and Vendors Sidestep Shared Risk04:25 AI Deepfake Impersonates Secretary of State in Sophisticated Attack, Exposing Risks for Executive Security09:17 Ingram Micro Begins System Restoration After Ransomware Attack, But Silence Frustrates12:07 Robin Robins Sells Technology Marketing Toolkit; Joins Kaseya as Strategic Advisor This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/nerdio-manager-for-msp/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

The podcast discusses the evolving landscape of cybersecurity for small and mid-market businesses, emphasizing the dual threats posed by advanced artificial intelligence tools and a resurgence of ransomware attacks. As cybercriminals leverage AI for sophisticated phishing and impersonation tactics, traditional security measures are becoming obsolete. Organizations are urged to adopt enterprise-grade solutions, such as unified security platforms and zero-trust frameworks, to protect their operations. The introduction of secure browser technologies is highlighted as a critical step in enhancing defenses against the 95% of security incidents linked to browser vulnerabilities.A significant decline in the number of active Windows PCs, with 400 million devices disappearing in three years, indicates a shift in consumer behavior towards mobile devices and tablets. This trend reflects a broader change in endpoint strategy, as the traditional perimeter dissolves and the focus shifts from device management to user and data control across platforms. The implications of the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 in October 2025 may further influence this trend, as users may opt not to invest in new devices.The podcast also covers Microsoft's new security measures aimed at preventing incidents similar to the CrowdStrike meltdown, which caused extensive damages. The company plans to move third-party security drivers out of the Windows kernel to enhance reliability and reduce risks. Additionally, Microsoft is offering extended security updates for Windows 10 users, allowing them to continue receiving support even after the end of support date. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving system stability and addressing vulnerabilities.Finally, the discussion touches on the broader implications of AI in various sectors, including its impact on the workforce and democratic processes. The podcast highlights concerns about AI's role in elections and education, as well as the ethical challenges arising from its use. The conversation emphasizes the need for businesses to manage the complexities of AI, including compliance and creativity loss, while pushing back against inflated vendor claims. This approach will help build trust and ensure that organizations can navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape effectively. Three things to know today 00:00 400 Million Missing PCs Mark the End of the Endpoint Era—MSPs Must Evolve or Fade06:04 From Kernel Changes to Cyber Insurance: Why Structural Resilience Now Defines MSP Value10:23 From Productivity to Manipulation: The Expanding and Uneven Impact of AI Across Sectors This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Cyber crime continues to grow each year, but should organizations give up fighting it? On this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash speaks with Robert Duncan from Netcraft, who argues the answer is absolutely not. Robert makes the case that fighting cyber crime is worth the effort, even when it feels like an endless battle.Robert challenges the common view that "whack-a-mole" tactics are pointless. He believes the key is changing the game from single-player to multiplayer whack-a-mole. By working with domain registrars, hosting providers, and government agencies, defenders can hit criminals at multiple points in their attack chain. This coordinated response makes cyber crime more expensive and less profitable for attackers.The conversation covers everything from traditional phishing to sophisticated pig butchering scams. Robert shares how Netcraft uses AI to engage with scammers and gather intelligence at scale. He also discusses the national security implications of cyber crime and why whole-of-government responses in countries like Australia and the UK show promise for reducing fraud rates.Send us a textSupport the show

#616: Two school teachers in Ohio saved their entire lives for one dream — buying a farm. When they inherited $1.3 million and found the perfect property for $1.2 million, everything seemed perfect. Five days before closing, they received what looked like a legitimate email from their closing company with wire transfer instructions. They sent the money and showed up at closing, only to discover they'd been scammed. The email was fake, sent by hackers who had infiltrated the closing company's servers for months, waiting for exactly this type of high-value cash deal. That story comes from cybersecurity expert Dr. Eric Cole, who joins us to explain why ordinary people have become prime targets for cybercriminals. Cole, a former CIA hacker who served as cybersecurity commissioner under President Barack Obama and advises high-profile clients including Bill Gates' personal estate, has a message: if you think you're too small to be targeted, you're wrong. While billion-dollar companies deploy teams of 60 cybersecurity professionals, you have virtually no protection. Criminals know this. They're not trying to steal $100 million from one person anymore — they're stealing $50 from thousands of people every month. You probably won't notice the small amounts vanishing from your accounts. Cole calls it "death by a thousand cuts," and it's happening right now. We talk through the most common attacks targeting your money. Bank hacking is simpler than most people realize. All criminals need is your account number — printed on every check you write — and your password. With that information, they can often perform electronic fund transfers of up to 50 percent of your account balance without triggering alerts. Cole explains how phishing schemes have evolved beyond simple email scams. Criminals now use artificial intelligence to mimic voices, calling grandparents with their grandchild's actual voice asking for bail money. Ransomware has become a massive business operation. Cole describes a company in Russia with 700 employees whose entire business model is encrypting people's files and demanding payment. Cole advocates for going old-school on major financial transactions. When buying real estate, he meets face-to-face, brings certified checks, and refuses to trust email wire instructions. For daily security, he recommends turning on two-factor authentication for every account, setting up instant notifications for any account activity, and dramatically reducing the number of apps on your devices. We also cover the China-TikTok connection, secure messaging options, and why Cole helped configure President Obama's smartphone to connect to fake cell towers that masked his actual location. Cole's bottom line: cybersecurity isn't just for tech companies anymore. Criminals are targeting ordinary people because we're easier prey than heavily protected corporations. Your money is under threat. Here's how to protect it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
