Rolex im Champagner, KI-Influencerinnen mit Zahnspange, smarte Unterhosen und das Pentagon ohne Guardrails – was für eine Folge.

In this episode, we take a closer look at how modern films like Sinners and Marvel's Black Panther draw heavily from ancient and indigenous religious traditions, often positioning them as morally superior or more "authentic" than Christianity. Chuck explores the symbolism, storytelling choices and cultural messaging behind these movies and asks, what does it mean when Christianity is sidelined or reframed in popular entertainment? Is this just creative world-building, or does it reflect a deeper shift in spiritual values being promoted on screen?

Sue Serna - Social Media Security and Governance Leader and Lover of All BeaglesNo Password Required Season 7: Episode 2 - Sue SernaSue Serna is the CEO and Founder of Serna Social and the former head of global social media at Cargill. She brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and security.In this episode, she shares her journey from business reporter to leading her own consultancy serving companies around the world on social media strategy.Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields, P.A, joined by guest co-host Rex Wilson of Cyber Florida, welcomes Sue for a candid discussion about the realities of enterprise social media. From managing more than 150 Facebook pages for a single company, to navigating internal politics, agency relationships, and regulatory pressure, Sue explains why social media is far from “free” and why most organizations still under-resource it.Sue dives deep into the gap between social media teams and cybersecurity departments. She outlines how personal account compromises can escalate into enterprise-level incidents, why governance frameworks matter, and how large organizations can regain control of sprawling digital footprints. Drawing from real-world examples, she argues that social media must be treated like finance or HR, a core business function requiring structure, ownership, and accountability.The episode wraps with the Lifestyle Polygraph, where Sue reveals her love of Apollo-era space history, debates iconic Philadelphia traditions, and imagines what magical talent her beagle would bring to Hogwarts.Follow Sue at SernaSocial.com or connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sueserna/ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and First Impressions   02:45 The Evolving Role of Social Media in Corporations   04:58 Transitioning from Journalism to Social Media  11:11 Building Social Media from Scratch   13:00 Becoming a CEO and Founder   16:28 The Importance of Networking   16:54 Bridging the Gap Between Social Media and Cybersecurity  20:51 Real-World Social Media Security Incidents  28:35 Navigating Internal Conflicts in Social Media  30:32 The Lifestyle Polygraph Begins   31:17 Nerd Things That Expose Sue: Space and Harry Potter!  35:16 Sue's Love For Beagles  37:50 Wreckless Intern or Overconfident Executive?  40:42 Hogwarts and Magical Beagles 

This special Valentine's Day episode of Cybersecurity Today examines romance scams (often called pig butchering) and how fraudsters exploit trust, vulnerability, and loneliness.  Host Jim Love speaks with McAfee Head of Threat Research Abhishek Karnik  about new findings showing the scale and demographics of these scams, including widespread encounters with fake or AI-generated profiles, frequent financial solicitations, and that men are also heavily impacted.  Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast. Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale.  You can find them at Meter.com/cst The episode features survivor Beth Highland's detailed account of being manipulated via Tinder through long-term messaging, an AI video call, forged documents, and a crypto payout scheme that led her to send about $26,000 via Bitcoin ATMs before her financial advisor—trained in romance fraud—helped her recognize the scam and stop further losses, including a demanded $50,000 "activation fee." Beth discusses emotional aftereffects, stigma, reporting, red flags, and her book, "Diary of a Romance Scam:  When Swiping Right Goes Wrong," along with her advocacy work. The conversation broadens to the role of AI in making scams more realistic (deepfakes, voice/video, document generation), the importance of privacy and not overposting, involving trusted family/advisors, institutional training and intervention points along the fraud "kill chain," and using technology and education to detect and reduce scams.

In der aktuellen Folge von Breach FM sprechen Robert und Max über neue Erkenntnisse zu Salt Typhoon und dessen Aktivitäten in europäischen Telekommunikationsnetzen – mit besonderem Blick auf Norwegen und die geopolitischen Implikationen langfristiger Spionagekampagnen. Wir diskutieren den kritischen Bericht des US Cyber Safety Review Board zur Sicherheitskultur bei Microsoft und fragen, was „Security Governance“ bei einem der wichtigsten Tech-Konzerne der Welt wirklich bedeutet.Außerdem schauen wir auf Dänemarks ungewöhnlich offene Rekrutierungsoffensive für offensive Cyber-Operationen und ordnen ein, was das über aktuelle Bedrohungslagen und staatliche Cyberstrategien verrät. Mit dabei ist auch eine schwere Schwachstelle in Azure Front Door und warum „Patch your stuff“ weiterhin keine Floskel ist. Zum Abschluss geht es um gezielte Phishing-Kampagnen gegen Signal-Nutzer, die besonders Journalisten, Politiker und Militärs ins Visier nehmen – und warum hier weniger Technik als vielmehr Social Engineering das eigentliche Risiko ist.Norwegian intelligence discloses country hit by Salt Typhoon campaignhttps://therecord.media/norawy-intelligence-discloses-salt-typhoon-attacks Denmark's military intelligence service has launched a campaign to recruit cybersecurity specialists for offensive cyber operationshttps://www.fe-ddis.dk/da/nyheder/2026/fe-soger-landets-skarpeste-hoveder-til-hackerakademi/Gemeinsamer Sicherheitshinweis (BfV und BSI) - Phishing über Messengerdienstehttps://www.bsi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Cybersicherheitswarnungen/DE/2026/202602_BfV_BSI.htmlCSRB Slams Microsoft for ‘Inadequate' Security Culture, Calls for Overhaulhttps://www.meritalk.com/articles/csrb-slams-microsoft-for-inadequate-security-culture-calls-for-overhaulCVE-2026-24300https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-24300The Technological Republic (Buch von Alex Karp)https://www.m-vg.de/finanzbuchverlag/shop/article/25367-the-technological-republic/Careless Peoplehttps://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1074309386

A Traditionalist Perspective on Gnosticism with Charles Upton Charles Upton’s first books of poetry were published in 1968 and 1969 by Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Light Books in San Francisco. He was then considered the youngest member of the “beat generation” as he was still in high school. He has subsequently written many books associated with the traditionalist school of spirituality including What Poets Used to Know, The Science of the Greater Jihad, Folk Metaphysics, Alien Disclosure Deception: The Metaphysics of Social Engineering, Day and Night on the Sufi Path, Dugin Against Dugin: A Traditionalist Critique of the Fourth Political Theory, The System of the Antichrist, and Vectors of the Counter-Initiation. His most recent book of poetry is The Wars of Love and Other Poems. Charles Upton offers a traditionalist critique of Gnosticism, examining its metaphysical assumptions about evil, transcendence, and the nature of the cosmos. Charles explores why Gnostic ideas resonate so strongly in modern culture, particularly feelings of alienation, simulation, and entrapment in an unjust world. From a traditionalist standpoint, Upton reframes Gnosticism as a symbolic diagnosis of ego and spiritual imbalance rather than a literal account of reality. 00:00:01 Introduction: a traditionalist view of Gnosticism 00:04:38 What traditionalism means and where it came from 00:07:58 The primordial tradition and unity of religions 00:15:30 Why Gnosticism is considered heresy 00:17:44 The Gnostic idea of a false universe 00:20:39 The Demiurge reinterpreted as the ego 00:22:31 Four Archons as spiritual distortions 00:30:18 Law, selfhood, chaos, and fate explained 00:39:28 How the Archons reinforce each other 00:59:06 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.

New Episode

In dieser Folge von „WeTalkSecurity“ geht es um Cyberversicherungen: warum sie für Unternehmen immer relevanter werden, was sie tatsächlich leisten, wo typische Ausschlüsse liegen und weshalb es im Schadenfall häufig zu Streit kommt. Christian Lueg spricht mit Dr. Jens Eckhardt über die aktuelle Bedrohungslage durch Cyberkriminalität, die wirtschaftlichen Risiken von Cyberangriffen, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen wie BSI-Gesetz, DSGVO und DORA sowie darüber, worauf Unternehmen beim Abschluss und bei der Prüfung bestehender Policen unbedingt achten sollten. Darüber hinaus sprechen die beiden über Anforderungen der Versicherer an die IT-Sicherheit, Erfahrungen aus der Schadenpraxis, Ransomware, Social Engineering und die Frage, wie sich der Markt für Cyberversicherungen weiterentwickeln wird.

We get into the painful leap from nightlife to fine dining, how they designed demand instead of chasing it, and the operational discipline required to stay profitable 10 years in.This isn't just about cool venues, it's about what it takes to last in an industry designed to burn you out.To learn more about The h.wood Group and their concepts, visit hwoodgroup.com._________________________________________________________Today's episode was brought to you by Square.

Send us a textIn this captivating and wide-ranging conversation, Joey Pinz welcomes cybersecurity executive, author, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu enthusiast Caroline Wong. What begins with jiu-jitsu quickly expands into a profound dialogue about humility, body awareness, emotional regulation, and the unexpected personal growth that comes from combat sports—especially as an adult beginner.Caroline opens up about her upcoming book on AI and cybersecurity, explaining how AI isn't just another shift—it's redefining the entire security landscape. She outlines how to evaluate real AI solutions, why transparency matters, and how LLMs make modern social engineering nearly indistinguishable from authentic communication.She also reflects on tech's wobbly job market, why global talent has reshaped the industry, and which cybersecurity markets AI will completely replace in the years ahead. The conversation deepens as Caroline shares her journey through sobriety, the discipline instilled by her Chinese immigrant parents, the challenges of raising resilient kids in a privileged world, and why joy, peace, and positive impact—not titles—define success.

This week's show is sixth in a series called Democracy Propaganda, and it focuses on the techniques and tactics developed from the work of Sigmund Freud, his nephew, the father of Public Relations Edward Bernays, and Walter Lippmann and proceeding Psychoanalysts and PR Propagandists. It will show how the Wilson administration formed a group called The Committee On Public Information to trick the non-interventionist American public into their sacrifice in a war that had nothing to do with them. This domestic propaganda dept used every means necessary, and hired big business PR men to form various ways to essentially brain wash the minds of the public and so, the war to end all wars, became the war that began eternal war. As Lippman put it, the quest for "World Democracy" began and its all been downhill ever since. We'll also look at numerous authors along the way, and talk about the study of group behaviors, psychological warfare, and the quest to learn how to control the minds of the masses.

In this encore presentation of Unspoken Security Episode 32 (originally published on 3 April 2025), host AJ Nash sits down with Chris Birch, an intelligence practitioner with nearly 30 years of experience, to discuss the ever-evolving landscape of social engineering. Chris's unique perspective comes from leading teams that actively engage with threat actors, turning the tables on those who typically exploit vulnerabilities.Chris details how social engineering is simply human manipulation, a skill honed from birth. He explains how attackers leverage fear and greed, the fastest and cheapest ways to manipulate individuals. He also dives into how attacks have evolved, highlighting the dangers of increasingly sophisticated tactics like deepfakes and the blurring lines between legal and illegal applications of social engineering.The conversation also explores the crucial role of organizational culture in cybersecurity. Chris emphasizes that awareness, not just education, is key to defense. He advocates for sharing threat intelligence widely within organizations and across industries, empowering everyone to become a sensor against social engineering attempts. Chris also shares a surprising personal fear, offering a lighthearted end to a serious discussion.Send us a textSupport the show

This week, special guest Dana DooDah of the "Rotting Jewels" podcast and What Is "The Process"? joins us in the trenches on the frontlines of the MindWar. As we draw back the curtain yet again, we're forced to bear witness to the inauthentic, yet affective emotional appeals of these political actors tasked with doing the bidding of special interest groups who inherently obstruct the natural order of society.From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory, to the Influencer Industrial Complex and the TPUSA conspiracy, the age-old playbook and recognizable patters begin to take form. Psychological operations and socially engineered contagion are the sophisticated weapons of war, manipulating emotions and social behavioral patterns to spread the mind virus within any given group, often relying on advanced psychological tactics while perfectly orchestrating social influence to achieve specific outcomes.Please consider supporting our work- Dana's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCuOZzdUe7DPzqqoelyHn-agDana on X: https://x.com/DanaDooDahDana's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rottingjewelsDana's PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rottingxjewelsAustin's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540Austin's Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnderclassPodcast#MindWar #PaulVallely #WomenDefendingAmerica #FeministFascistBrigade #MichaelAquino #InfluencerIndustrialComplex #SocialEngineering #TavistockInstitute #CandaceOwens #CharlieKirk #ErikaKirk #PragerU #TPAC #GeorgeFarmer #LordMichaelFarmer #TPUSASexCrimes #CHILDHELPINC #OperationBabylift #FriendsOfChildrenFoundation #TheDelphiMurdersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540/support.

In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner welcomes back David Higgins, senior director in CyberArk's Field Technology Office, for a timely conversation about the evolving cyber threat landscape. Higgins explains why today's attackers aren't breaking in—they're logging in—using stolen credentials, AI-powered social engineering, and deepfakes to bypass traditional defenses and exploit trust.The discussion explores how the rise of AI is eroding critical thinking, making it easier for even seasoned professionals to fall for convincing scams. Higgins and Puner break down the dangers of instant answers, the importance of “never trust, always verify,” and why zero standing privilege is essential for defending against insider threats. They also tackle the risks of shadow AI, the growing challenge of misinformation, and how organizations can build a culture of vigilance without creating a climate of mistrust.Whether you're a security leader, IT professional, or just curious about the future of digital trust, this episode delivers actionable insights on identity security, cyber hygiene, and the basics that matter more than ever in 2026 and beyond.

The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people want to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to appear trustworthy, not actually be it, because you'll act before you can verify.Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now feels more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Dr. Steve Mancini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steve-m-b59a525/Marco Ciappelli: https://www.marcociappelli.com/Nothing Has Changed in Cybersecurity Since War Games — And That's Why We're in Trouble"Nothing has changed."That's not what you expect to hear from someone with four decades in cybersecurity. The industry thrives on selling the next revolution, the newest threat, the latest solution. But Dr. Steve Mancini—cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Italy's Honorary Consul in Pittsburgh—wasn't buying any of it. And honestly? Neither was I.He took me back to his Commodore 64 days, writing basic war dialers after watching War Games. The method? Dial numbers, find an open line, try passwords until one works. Translate that to today: run an Nmap scan, find an open port, brute force your way in. The principle is identical. Only the speed has changed.This resonated deeply with how I think about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society. We're so consumed with the digital evolution—the folding screens, the AI assistants, the cloud computing—that we forget the human vulnerabilities underneath remain stubbornly analog. Social engineering worked in the 1930s, it worked when I was a kid in Florence, and it works today in your inbox.Steve shared a story about a family member who received a scam call. The caller asked if their social security number "had a six in it." A one-in-nine guess. Yet that simple psychological trick led to remote software being installed on their computer. Technology gets smarter; human psychology stays the same.What struck me most was his observation about his students—a generation so immersed in technology that they've become numb to breaches. "So what?" has become the default response. The data sells, the breaches happen, you get two years of free credit monitoring, and life goes on. Groundhog Day.But the deeper concern isn't the breaches. It's what this technological immersion is doing to our capacity for critical thinking, for human instinct. Steve pointed out something that should unsettle us: the algorithms feeding content to young minds are designed for addiction, manipulating brain chemistry with endorphin kicks from endless scrolling. We won't know the full effects of a generation raised on smartphones until they're forty, having scrolled through social media for thirty years.I asked what we can do. His answer was simple but profound: humans need to decide how much they want technology in their lives. Parents putting smartphones in six-year-olds' hands might want to reconsider. Schools clinging to the idea that they're "teaching technology" miss the point—students already know the apps better than their professors. What they don't know is how to think without them.He's gone back to paper and pencil tests. Old school. Because when the power goes out—literally or metaphorically—you need a brain that works independently.Ancient cultures, Steve reminded me, built civilizations with nothing but their minds, parchment, and each other. They were, in many ways, a thousand times smarter than us because they had no crutches. Now we call our smartphones "smart" while they make us incrementally dumber.This isn't anti-technology doom-saying. Neither Steve nor I oppose technological progress. The conversation acknowledged AI's genuine benefits in medicine, in solving specific problems. But this relentless push for the "easy button"—the promise that you don't have to think, just click—that's where we lose something essential.The ultimate breach, we concluded, isn't someone stealing your data. It's breaching the mind itself. When we can no longer think, reason, or function without the device in our pocket, the hackers have already won—and they didn't need to write a single line of code.Subscribe to the Redefining Society and Technology podcast.
