On this week’s show we chat with Errata Security’s Robert Graham about a ridiculous non-story that had readers in the USA convinced that Slate magazine had uncovered a covert communication channel between Donald Trump and a state-linked Russian bank. ** RISKY BUSINESS WILL BE BACK ON JANUARY 12, 2017** In a few weeks you will be able to buy a purpose-built ICS honeypot, as well as one that mimics a code repository, so if you work with ICS gear or for a dev shop, you’ll really want to tune in to that one. They will tell you if you have an attacker on your network, they’re cost effective and really nicely designed.Ĭanary’s very own Marco Slaviero will be along a bit later to talk through a recent Tweetstorm that centred on honeypots, as well as to preview Canary’s next release. Canaries are of course those awesome little honeypots you can deploy on your network for excellent signalling. This week’s show is brought to you by Canary.Tools. I don’t think it’ll come as a surprise that the cyber intrigue surrounding the 2016 US presidential election is what peaked our interest this year. This is the last episode for the year – the last episode of the 10th season! On this week’s show Adam and I will discuss the week’s news and then we’re going to reflect on the major events in 2016 the stuff that stuck out for us. Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing. Links to everything are in this week’s show notes. From Trumpleaks (lol) to Wassenaar, hax and more. I’m guessing I’ll capitulate eventually and start using that terminology, but not yet, dammit! Haroon joins us to look at how Geopolitics now looks like an IRC war from 1999! We also look at some industry trends, in particular, very smart people building very good tech.Īdam Boileau is back in the news hotseat to talk about all the stuff we missed over the last six weeks. This week’s show is brought to you by Canary.tools, makers of honeypot tech, or, if you’re a wanker, Deception Technology. It was a public hearing, but a few things shook out of it were pretty interesting. We also check in with Mara Tam who spent today attending the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in DC. Worse still, both tallies are expected to jump even further in 2021.On this week’s show we’ll be speaking with industry analyst Rich Mogull about what he sees as tidal forces that are going to rip the information security industry as we know it apart – he has some compelling ideas on that, that’s this week’s feature. All told, the collective cost of these attacks amounted to roughly $US29.1 ($39) million in damages, up from $US8.9 ($12) million in 2019. The FBI received nearly 2,500 ransomware complaints last year, a roughly 20% increase compared to 2019, according to its annual Internet Crime Report. They’re not the only ones getting in on the grift. That’s how much the gang asked for on Sunday to publish a universal decryptor that would unlock all computers affected in the Kaseya hack, a supply chain attack that has crippled more than 1,000 companies worldwide and prompted a federal investigation. REvil could soon surpass that record if its recent demands for $US70 ($94) million are met. Though it should be noted that Netwalker has the dubious honour of racking up the most ransom payments of all time, with roughly $US28 ($38) million to its name based on the site’s data. Coming in second with 6.2 million is Netwalker, one of the most popular ransomware-as-a-service offerings on the dark web. So far in 2021, the Russia-linked cybercriminal gang that took credit for the Kaseya and JBS attacks, REvil, is leading the pack by a mile with more than $US11 ($15) million in ransom payments, according to Ransomwhere.
