In this podcast Adam Boileau and Tom Uren talk about two very significant cyber incidents. In the first, LockBit attacked the US arm of China’s biggest bank and the disruption left the bank owing USD$9bn at the end of the day. The other disrupted 40% of Australia’s port traffic.

They also examine the reasons why it makes sense for banks to do more regarding fraud.

In this podcast Adam Boileau and Tom Uren talk about Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative. It’s been likened to the company’s 2002 Trustworthy Computing initiative, but compared to that it is a massive disappointment.

They also discuss how the European-wide police operation against EncroChat unravelled when a UK intelligence analyst warned her friends with criminal links that the service had been compromised.
