00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
This week, on the awareness 
angle, a dead airline is still 

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,280
taking bookings for flights that
will never. 

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,000
Exist. 
Instagram just killed encrypted 

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,400
DMS Google Chrome secretly 
installs A4 GB AI model on your 

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,400
computer. 
A student stopped 4 high speed 

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,760
trains with a radio he bought 
online and a robot. 

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,360
Lawnmower can be hijacked by 
anyone on the Internet. 

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,640
Who'd have thought it? 
And that includes overriding the

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,160
emergency stop. 
All of that and a whole bunch 

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,760
more on this week's The 
Awareness Angle. 

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,800
And with me, as always is my 
partner in cybercrime prevention

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,840
is of course Mr Luke Pettigrew. 
How you doing, Luke? 

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,640
And doing well. 
Thanks. 

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,160
How are you? 
I'm good, I'm good. 

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,520
I've just realised for the last 
few weeks I haven't introduced 

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,280
myself. 
I've just introduced you. 

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,760
So I'm Matt Davis and we've 
been, as always, is my partner 

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,360
in cyber crime profession. 
Yeah, don't forget any thoughts,

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520
opinions, anything we talk about
on the show are our own and do 

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,600
not represent those of our 
employers. 

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,960
Please don't fire us. 
Right, So much to get through 

22
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,280
this week. 
It's been a busy week. 

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,200
We've had to, we've had to be 
fierce, but it's it's good. 

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,600
We've got some good stuff so. 
Should we get straight? 

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,720
On with some old stories that 
sound almost made-up, but we'll 

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,600
get into them. 
Everything is from a news 

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,400
source. 
Don't we haven't made anything 

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,480
up. 
There's no we promise there's no

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,120
we're not hallucinating. 
We are not AI. 

30
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,720
Look, we're not go. 
Let's go for it. 

31
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:43,640
Let's go for it, right? 
This week's breech watch and 

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,640
kicking us off this week Zara 
clothing fashion brand Zara data

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,520
breach exposes 197,000 customers
via a third party analytics 

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,840
vendor and this is a supply 
chain breach that we talk about 

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,560
every week in its both purest 
form Zara itself wasn't directly

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,000
compromised. 
The attackers went off that 

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,759
Anodot, an Israeli AI analytics.
Company that have processed 

38
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:14,440
Zara's data stole their 
authentication tokens and then 

39
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,640
use those to walk straight into.
Zara's cloud infrastructure. 

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,880
I mean, we've seen this time and
time again, you can have the 

41
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,200
best security in the world, but 
if your vendors don't, it 

42
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,480
doesn't matter. 
For customers. 

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,480
This is being played down saying
no passwords or payment details 

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,720
were taken but 197,000 e-mail. 
Addresses tied to shopping 

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,120
behaviours support interactions 
and geographic markets. 

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,960
It's still, I mean, that's 
valuable data for targeted 

47
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,680
phishing. 
So if you've ever contacted Zara

48
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,240
for support or shopped online, 
you could be in the data set, 

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,200
which is pretty scary. 
And it's Shiny Hunters again. 

50
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,320
You know they're Shiny Hunters. 
We're playing hacking group 

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,960
bingo. 
Shiny Hunters is like having a 

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,400
44 on the English lottery. 
It comes up all the time. 

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Yeah, it's Zara is of course the
flagship. 

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,240
Brand of the Inditex group, 
which is one of the largest 

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,520
fashion distribution groups. 
They also own Bershka. 

56
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Zara Home, we show Pull and Bear
everywhere. 

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,480
My daughter likes to shop 
essentially. 

58
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,160
He's owned by Intertex. 
Berska and Pull and Bear are 

59
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,400
like really popular so. 
Yes, I mean, it's, it's a data 

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,040
breach. 
Data's been leaked. 

61
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Lots of details have been 
leaked. 

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,480
If you're a Zara. 
Customer watch out for fishing I

63
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,720
think is what we're what we're 
talking about on this. 

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Yeah, and if you have third 
parties? 

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,200
Make sure you you know, hold 
them to account. 

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280
In some ways. 
Yeah, right. 

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,400
I think that's it for that one. 
So you can move straight on to 

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
the next one. 
Oh yes, the next one we've got 

69
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Kushwin and Wakefield breached 
via fishing and two ransomware 

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680
gangs claim responsibility for 
this one says the day of breach 

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,600
stemming from a voice phishing 
attack. 

72
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,400
And no surprises here, the cyber
crime groups involved, the shiny

73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,720
hunters and chilling, they 
claimed responsibility worked 

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,240
together on this and such. 
But I guess maybe they've done 

75
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,360
sort of separate things there, 
sort of one side getting in and 

76
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,360
then sold that access or gave 
access to the other group. 

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,360
But yeah, so this one, they say 
the registered article on the 

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,960
spokesperson told them that it 
was limited in scope and 

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,360
suggested that boy, he was 
socially engineered. 

80
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,640
And so they came aware of a 
limited data security incident 

81
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,880
due to phishing, activated voice
activated response protocols to 

82
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,160
contain on on a price access and
engaged a third party expert to 

83
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800
support their response to it. 
So they've sort of mentioned 

84
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,240
that systems and operations 
continue to run normally and 

85
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560
they're investigating the 
incident and idea obviously take

86
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,560
it very seriously. 
Obviously, obviously they've 

87
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960
yes, they didn't address the 
sort of cyber groups involved, 

88
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:03,920
but this this article goes on to
say that obviously as targeted 

89
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,840
by Shanny Hunters, who operates 
a pay or league model and 

90
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,640
chilling who one of the world's 
most prolific ransomware groups 

91
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,680
to go on to say there's no 
established coalition between 

92
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520
the two groups, which suggests 
that they're separate but 

93
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,760
coincidentally timed. 
Who knows what happens in the 

94
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,920
shadows? 
No one. 

95
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,960
What happens on a forum in the 
dark? 

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,200
Web. 
No one knows, you know Signal 

97
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,720
chat. 
Yeah, it carries on to say that 

98
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,360
Shane Hunters attacked them on 
the May 1st and Chilean listed 

99
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,800
information on the data leak 
site on May 4th. 

100
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:52,280
Shiny Hunters claims it's stolen
over 500,000 Salesforce records 

101
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,040
containing PII and other 
corporate data and they've set 

102
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,440
deadline of May 6th for them to 
contact them but that hasn't 

103
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,680
happened and assuming they've 
probably shed the data that. 

104
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,760
I think that's why we're talking
about it now. 

105
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Yeah, Probably. 
Yeah. 

106
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,760
I'm I. 
Yeah, 5 GB, 50 gigabytes. 

107
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,840
After the ransom negotiation, 
negotiations failed. 

108
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,200
So they don't waste any time. 
They're very headline boom. 

109
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,520
Truck deadline. 
Yeah, yeah. 

110
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,040
But yeah, voice fishing in this 
case. 

111
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,880
It's exactly the same as we 
talked about last week with ADT.

112
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,440
It's their, you know, it's the 
modus operandi and This is why 

113
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,280
we see. 
Security awareness vendors now 

114
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:39,280
like all running to bring out 
voice phishing. 

115
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,240
And I know there's been some 
queries around the legality of 

116
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,960
doing voice phishing, but you 
know, This is why companies now 

117
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,920
we can't, we can't just send 
phishing emails anymore. 

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400
We need to start. 
Thinking that a lot more than 

119
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,720
that, isn't it? 
Let's not forget phishing emails

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,120
are still an important part of 
protection. 

121
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,200
Like 80. 5% of all attacks start
with some kind of phishing, so 

122
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,600
phishing emails are still 
dangerous. 

123
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,720
But we need to look wider and 
like you said last week, we 

124
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880
shouldn't be focusing voice 
fishing just on those high risk 

125
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,040
areas like. 
Help desks and. 

126
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,840
Stuff like that. 
Anybody, anybody is vulnerable 

127
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600
to voice fishing. 
So it's really, I know 

128
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280
businesses that have done it 
just to those high risk 

129
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,000
frontline kind of technical 
stuff. 

130
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,040
You need to go wider than that. 
You need to. 

131
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,760
You need to do your whole 
workforce really. 

132
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,600
And talk about it. 
Make people aware it happens. 

133
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,360
This is a great example. 
Not a lot of people outside like

134
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,640
Cushman and Wakefield. 
Massive real estate company. 

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,200
I've not heard of them before. 
I might be naive. 

136
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Had you heard of them before? 
No, I haven't. 

137
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,120
They're not house, they're not 
household. 

138
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Yeah, they're an American 
company. 

139
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,480
Yeah. 53,000 employees according
to YEAH. 

140
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,200
So they're not the best example 
to tell everyone about, but if 

141
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,840
you've got a real estate 
department that deals with 

142
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,600
offices and. 
Facilities and rents, They've 

143
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,000
probably heard of them. 
So it's relatable to them. 

144
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,560
ADT we spoke about last week, 
massive household brand 

145
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,120
everybody's heard of ADTI would 
imagine and they're a security 

146
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920
company. 
So there's a great piece of news

147
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,200
to make it relatable to those 
individuals. 

148
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Yes, like we said, no one wants 
to appear on no one wants a 

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Google alert telling them that 
they've appeared on Shiny 

150
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Hunters League site. 
So no, right, that's it for this

151
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,840
week's breaches. 
Let's get on with the news. 

152
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,919
So this week I'll kick off the 
first one and I'm going to keep 

153
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,840
this brief because this we could
go down a technical rabbit hole 

154
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,240
here, but we're not going to 
consent fix version 3. 

155
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,720
So we've spoken about consent 
fix before. 

156
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,560
This is the phishing attack that
bypasses multi factor 

157
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,040
authentication by using 
Microsoft's own award flow. 

158
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,120
So this is a new automated 
phishing technique that's 

159
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,360
circulating around on hacker 
forums and it hijacks Microsoft 

160
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Azure accounts through 
legitimate authentication flows.

161
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,120
So if you're not technical, 
Azure account is the account 

162
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,360
that you sign into your computer
with if your computer has user 

163
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,440
accounts. 
That are managed by Microsoft. 

164
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,560
So if you use Microsoft A365, 
Microsoft Office, if your e-mail

165
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,280
is Outlook, you've probably got 
a Microsoft Azure account. 

166
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,640
And this attack basically 
bypasses the authentication that

167
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,560
you have for that account. 
So it tricks. 

168
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,960
It's a bit like click fix. 
It tricks you into pasting and 

169
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,600
dragging a URL into a page that 
looks like a normal Microsoft 

170
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520
login page, but isn't. 
But because you're doing it, 

171
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,600
you're basically opening the 
door for the. 

172
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,680
Attackers. 
The attackers. 

173
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:48,720
Aren't hacking, they're socially
engineering you to kind of. 

174
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480
They're tricking you into 
opening the door. 

175
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,280
For them and it can be done 
within 30 seconds and all you 

176
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,720
see is a verification successful
message. 

177
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,320
So yeah, it doesn't try and 
steal your password, it doesn't 

178
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
intercept your MFA code. 
It lets you complete a 

179
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,400
completely legitimate Microsoft 
login, but captures the 

180
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,880
handshake, the access tokens 
after you've authenticated. 

181
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
So you do everything right, You 
use your password. 

182
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,560
You approve the MFA prompt, but 
you still get compromised. 

183
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Where this is different. 
So version one this is version 

184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,160
3. 
Version 1 was a manual copy and 

185
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,560
paste. 
You had to copy some stuff and 

186
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:29,360
paste it in. 
Version 2 added drag and drops. 

187
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,600
You just had to drag something. 
And this version 3 is fully 

188
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,480
automated. 
So fake cloud, fair pages, a 

189
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,640
pipe dream web hook back end 
that exchanges codes for tokens 

190
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,280
in seconds. 
So this is like the industry. 

191
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,280
This is like someone's actually 
built something now that works. 

192
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,240
It's industrialisation of it. 
Yeah. 

193
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,240
So this targets first party 
Microsoft. 

194
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Apps that are. 
Trusted in every Azure tenant 

195
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,360
and can't be deleted or 
restricted by default. 

196
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,160
There's no patch for this. 
That's the scariest thing 

197
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:05,720
because it is architecturally 
vulnerable. 

198
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600
The way it is built. 
It's been built in a vulnerable 

199
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,680
fashion, so it's almost like 
you've built a house that has a 

200
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,640
foundational floor in its 
design. 

201
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,160
And then everything you can 
patch is the people, which is 

202
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,360
just like a nice piece of merch.
I was going to say we've got 

203
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,760
some stickers with people 
Patcher on and Submerge with 

204
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,320
people Patcher on. 
If you're a people patcher, what

205
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,200
great segue into If you're a 
people patcher and you want 

206
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,800
submerge all you want our 
newsletter, get yourself to 

207
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,840
risky creative. 
Dot com there's a shop with some

208
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,480
people patch a merch, some click
happens merch is on there as 

209
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,720
well. 
I'm wearing today and some 

210
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,960
control. 
Alt human stuff that you can see

211
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,600
on the mic as well. 
I'm covered in it. 

212
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,680
It's amazing. 
And if you want our newsletter, 

213

Monday morning and covers 
everything we talk about on the 

217
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,840
show. 
We'll put a link to this story. 

218
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,720
We won't go into this anymore 
because it can get quite 

219
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,000
technical, but if you if that's 
picture interesting, you want to

220
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,240
find out more about Consent Fix 
version 3. 

221
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,840
There'll be a link to that in 
this week's newsletter, So you. 

222
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,360
Can find out. 
Right. 

223
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,880
Awesome. 
Move on to the next one. 

224
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,480
Yeah, so next one we've got 
Spirit Airlines liquidization 

225
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,120
equals zombie infrastructure, 
open payment systems and $11.48 

226
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,600
fishing domains. 
It's what an interesting and 

227
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:37,080
crazy story, this one. 
So son Guy Braden has state tech

228
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:44,320
blog basically talks about sort 
of looked into the Spirit 

229
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,680
Airlines liquidisation and how 
they ceased operations on May 

230
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:52,360
2nd and they they sort of said 
that multibillion dollar 

231
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,160
corporate tech infrastructure 
was abandoned in real time. 

232
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,000
That's insane. 
Literally like they just went 

233
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,440
home. 
Yeah, they, yeah, everybody left

234
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,560
the office and didn't turn 
anything off apparently. 

235
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,040
So yes, security researcher 
discovered that the booking flow

236
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,600
on spirit.com was was it may 
still be fully functional. 

237
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,240
You could search flights, select
seats and see your personal 

238
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,960
information and even reach the 
payment screen for flights that 

239
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,360
will never exist. 
They have. 

240
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,440
To they have. 
They have fixed this now. 

241
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,160
So at the time this was written 
that was the case, but now if 

242
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,080
you go to spirit.com, it does go
to a winding down page with an 

243
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,720
announcement. 
It actually redirects. 

244
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,360
To a completely different. 
Domain. 

245
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,680
So yeah, they've kind of patched
it, but this was not the case. 

246
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,280
At the time of, you know, 
escalating this. 

247
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,960
So yeah, it doesn't says so 
there was like a booking API 

248
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,680
that was selective issuing, 
issuing valid records, 

249
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,200
processing payments against a 
live payment gateway. 

250
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,600
The system did return payment 
authorization declined rather 

251
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520
than provider unavailable, but 
it sort of proved that the 

252
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,720
payment processor was still 
connected spirits full telemetry

253
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320
stack was still running. 
So the back end was probably 

254
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,040
performing deep packet 
inspection and performance 

255
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,800
logging on transactions. 
But obviously it continues to 

256
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,280
say that it was processing data 
that it really obviously should 

257
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,040
have been. 
And then one of those sort of 

258
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,520
lots of things to look out for 
and it was fishing domains were 

259
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,520
popping up around Spirit. 
So there was Spirit refunds.com 

260
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,360
and they're available for 12/12.
He defensively registered three 

261
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,360
of them they found available and
redirected them to the official 

262
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,880
page of information. 
And then it says within like a 

263
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,480
pretty short window, maybe like 
3 hours, Spirit liquidization 

264
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:01,960
received 43 visits from a wide 
range of devices and potentially

265
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680
people we had desperately 
searching for refund information

266
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,520
on Spirit Airlines. 
And yeah, continues on to say 

267
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560
that Spirit never sent 
cancellation emails to account 

268
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840
holders. 
Flights were never cancelled. 

269
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,960
It was still bookable. 
And yeah, so there's obviously 

270
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,360
that left to a window of time 
where potentially no one was 

271
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,720
monitoring what was going on and
the people were potentially 

272
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,040
booking flights still and 
entering their personal 

273
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,560
information. 
So yeah, it's quite a crazy 

274
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,000
story. 
Yeah. 

275
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,840
They essentially, yeah. 
A company collapsed and nothing 

276
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,560
got turned off, No. 
It's, it's mad, isn't it? 

277
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,560
I think it's the problem is 
there's so many. 

278
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,960
I mean, it was in the news. 
We heard about it over here. 

279
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,760
It was big news. 
Donald Trump said he was going 

280
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,720
to. 
Buy it and bail them. 

281
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,560
Out and then that didn't happen.
But it's so many people are left

282
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,640
unknown and want answers and so 
many people are going to jump on

283
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,240
that bandwagon of like 
registering when you go to 

284
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,720
spirit.com, there's you can 
still find, you can still find 

285
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,600
ways into the website like it's 
they've done a really bad job of

286
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,040
shutting this down. 
If you go to spirit.com, it 

287
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,640
redirects to 
spiritrestructuring.com. 

288
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Like that could be not 
legitimate. 

289
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,920
And then there's bits about 
guests and lenders. 

290
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,200
But if you actually. 
Didn't redirect. 

291
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Did it not but then if you 
actually go, if you Google like 

292
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,120
spirit booking, you can still 
kind of find ways into the 

293
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440
flights page. 
So it is still there's still 

294
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,680
elements of this up and running 
and this they don't exist 

295
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,120
anymore like this. 
They've they've shut up shop, 

296
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,520
but here I am still able to go. 
I want to go from New York. 

297
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Let's go from Newark to Aruba. 
There's search flights. 

298
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,040
There's no seats available. 
OK, so there are parts of it not

299
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,320
working, but you can still 
browse the infrastructure. 

300
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,280
And it's mad that this hasn't 
just been shut down. 

301
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,600
Main web page spirit.com. 
Put up a holding page. 

302
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,640
Put up a. 
Page saying we've ceased 

303
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,839
operations for any queries 
contact this just don't leave 

304
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:09,280
people in the unknown people. 
This is the worst part of it 

305
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,920
because this is a this is a 
cyber criminals. 

306
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,400
Social engineers dream right 
now. 

307
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Especially if someone, yeah, 
broke into the system and 

308
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,480
hijacked it and people are 
putting in their genuine 

309
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,880
information and payment trying 
to pay for things, yeah. 

310
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,040
I mean the example. 
Fishing domains as well. 

311
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,160
The example for us would be like
Ryanair going bust, like Spirit 

312
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,960
or the budget airline. 
So it would be the equivalent of

313
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,640
an EasyJet or a Ryanair going 
disappearing overnight, but 

314
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,000
their website is still being 
open. 

315
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,240
Think about the amount of 
questions that would leave the 

316
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,640
amount of queries they they 
like. 

317
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,520
It's. 
Yeah, it's crazy. 

318
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,680
It's I wonder if there's, I 
wonder if Spirit had a playbook,

319
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,200
like do companies have playbooks
for like what happens if we 

320
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,280
liquidate? 
What? 

321
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,280
Like do you have a liquidation 
playbook? 

322
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,120
Before, before you leave, turn 
the lights off, like a little 

323
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,840
sign next to the door. 
Last one out switches off the 

324
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,400
lights. 
Maybe it should have been last 

325
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,960
one out switches off the 
website. 

326
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,800
That's what they needed. 
Yeah. 

327
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,520
The problem is as well though, 
you're dealing with people now, 

328
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,640
but thinking of the people 
involved in that people's lives,

329
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080
they've just lost their jobs. 
They they don't know if they're 

330
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,640
going to get paid. 
I think they don't give a. 

331
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,200
Monkeys, you know, they're, 
they're like, I'm going home. 

332
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,080
Like they don't want to. 
They don't want to. 

333
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,480
No, not everyone's. 
Some people will, but not 

334
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,560
everyone, and probably not the 
people in power will think, you 

335
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000
know, we need to tie up our 
loose ends. 

336
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Before we leave anyway that's. 
Spirit Airlines. 

337
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,680
Yeah, I it's a, it's an 
interesting one. 

338
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,640
And that that angle wasn't 
picked up like on the news that 

339
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,760
I saw. 
It was just in a researcher's 

340
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,360
blog, which is like. 
OK, that's interesting. 

341
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,280
Now we can obviously share the 
link and the news there for 

342
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,320
people that want to read in, 
yes, detail on the stories. 

343
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,600
A lot of research got into it. 
Yeah, yeah, we'll put that in 

344
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,280
the in the newsletter, right? 
I'll move on to the next one. 

345
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,600
Now the next story, Google 
Chrome silently installs A4 GB 

346
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,600
AI model on your device without 
consent. 

347
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,760
So security researcher Alex 
Hamph discovered that Google 

348
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:23,760
Chrome silently downloads A4 GB 
AI model Gemini Nano to devices 

349
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,240
without notification and without
consent. 

350
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,480
And this is different because 
it's potentially happening to 

351
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,120
billions of people. 
Right now, Google Chrome, 

352
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,600
world's most popular browser, A4
GB AI model, is coming down. 

353
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,560
No prompt, no notification, no 
consent check box. 

354
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,440
And if you find it and delete 
it, it comes back. 

355
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,560
This sounds familiar. 
We had this with Claude a few 

356
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,000
weeks ago. 
The researcher who caught it was

357
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,560
only running an automated audit.
No human ever touched a browser 

358
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,880
and the model still appeared. 
And so the under GPR, 

359
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,720
downloading 4 gigabyte of data 
to someone device, profiling 

360
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,040
hardware to decide if it's 
eligible, and doing all of this 

361
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,520
without consent is potentially 
illegal. 

362
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,680
So many people raised the GDPR 
question around the Claude that 

363
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,800
we spoke about a few weeks ago 
as well, surely, but it's like. 

364
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,960
This is the challenge for GDPR, 
isn't it? 

365
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,600
I think these American based 
companies are flirting with the 

366
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,840
edges of legitimacy. 
But this is a there's a 

367
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,040
principle here. 
So like your browser, which is a

368
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,960
tool we all use to people in the
comments on socials will go 

369
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,280
should be using this should be 
using that people use Chrome 

370
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280
like Chrome's just an embedded 
part of people's lives. 

371
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,840
But so millions of us are using 
it every day and here it is just

372
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,440
downloading some stuff that. 
A lot of stuff. 

373
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:57,080
That we don't know about. 
And do you know what's 

374
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,800
interesting about this? 
The model they're downloading 

375
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,640
isn't even used for the AI 
features. 

376
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Most people would notice the AI 
mode button. 

377
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,160
In the address bar, which I've 
not noticed yet, actually sends 

378
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,520
queries to Google servers. 
So it doesn't even do stuff 

379
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,680
locally. 
That 4 gig that this research 

380
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,280
has found powers minor writing 
assistant features that most 

381
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,160
people have never enabled. 
So if you actually use Google's 

382
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520
AI tools like Gemini or anything
like that, they're all going off

383
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,520
to Google. 
They're not happening in this 4.

384
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,520
Gigabyte data set. 
I don't get why it's so big. 

385
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,000
I don't get it. 
Again, this was reported on 

386
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,080
cybernews.com, which, if you 
haven't got some kind of ad 

387
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,080
blocker, isn't the most pleasant
site to visit. 

388
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,760
But cyber, cyber news have got 
to make money, right? 

389
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,360
There's some ads and pop ups and
stuff. 

390
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760
Which is ironic for a cyber news
site, but yeah, this is it's an 

391
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,800
interesting one. 
There's lots of details here 

392
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,760
again, but just I think browser 
we trust browsers, browsers 

393
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,840
sitting at every computer has a 
browser. 

394
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,840
I've long been an advocate for 
more people in businesses using 

395
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,400
Chromos rather than. 
Having a full computer, it's 

396
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,560
like a think lion. 
Like do people need a big 

397
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,360
windows device that can be 
hacked? 

398
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,920
You know, is would businesses be
safer if more people used 

399
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,880
Chromos? 
But. 

400
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,520
Who do you trust? 
Firefox popped up in our 

401
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,200
comments last week. 
Firefox. 

402
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,840
We'd love to know what you think
about this. 

403
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,440
Firefox. 
Are you downloading A4 GB file 

404
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,560
in the background? 
For your AI services that. 

405
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,760
'D be an interesting thing. 
Yeah, I'll find out. 

406
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,920
Hopefully, yeah, just looking 
into the story a bit, it doesn't

407
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,840
they mentioned that the I did an
opt out setting, but that was 

408
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,920
months after the downloads 
started happening. 

409
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,920
But I can't find that saying. 
But I think it's like in a like 

410
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,080
you have to go into like, you 
know, the the cradle flags back 

411
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,400
in yeah. 
So to to do that. 

412
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,520
You know when you go into that 
space in Firefox, it says like 

413
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,600
something like Here be Dragons 
or something like that. 

414
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,680
Like you're going, you need to 
go into, not the nice UI for 

415
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,080
settings, but you have to type a
special thing into the. 

416
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,160
Address bar and then that's 
where you can break stuff which.

417
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Which if you're comfortable 
doing is fine, but my mum's not 

418
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,520
going to do that. 
You know, she's not going to 

419
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,120
know what she's doing. 
So you shouldn't have it 

420
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:21,280
shouldn't be in there. 
Also, you mentioned it's opt out

421
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,600
and we spoke about this just 
recently, opt out versus opt in.

422
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,120
Why is it opt out? 
Why is it not opt in like if 

423
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,120
they were really user? 
1st. 

424
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,320
If they really cared about 
giving users consent to. 

425
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,120
Stuff. 
Make it opt in. 

426
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:38,960
I'm still, I'm still sure you'd 
get so many people doing it. 

427
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,400
I'm sure you would. 
But yeah, especially if it had a

428
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480
nice pop up splash screen to say
that this is a new feature and 

429
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,400
all the benefits. 
Give me a reason, give me a why 

430
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,720
do? 
Why do you want 4 gig? 

431
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,520
Of my hard drive, I don't have 
lots of hard drive. 

432
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,240
Space. 
We do a lot of video work. 

433
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,400
I run out of hard. 
Drive space all. 

434
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,320
The time Why do I want? 
Why should Chrome take? 

435
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Chrome already takes all the RAM
now it wants. 

436
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,000
All the hard drive space as 
well, yeah. 

437
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,600
It's at some point I can't. 
I love Chrome, I use Chrome. 

438
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,080
But I have to admit, you get to 
a point, don't you, where 

439
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,000
enough's kind of enough in 
sometimes. 

440
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Anyway, we'll put details to 
that and a link to the story in 

441
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,600
the newsletter. 
And if so, if you want to find 

442
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,200
out more about Chrome's secret. 
Little AI stash on your on your 

443
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,480
computer. 
Go to riskycreative.com and sign

444
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,520
up. 
Right. 

445
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,000
OK, next one's yours. 
Cool, yeah this one. 

446
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:39,200
Instagram has dropped end to end
encryptions on DMS. So Meta have

447
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,920
removed end to end to end 
encryption from Instagram Direct

448
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,000
messages on May the 8th. 
The feature was optional since 

449
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,720
2023. 
Message adoption was just too 

450
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,440
low to justify keeping it. 
I mean, I personally didn't know

451
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,200
that was a thing. 
I don't use Instagram DMS in 

452
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,600
that way anyway, but. 
Again, opt in. 

453
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Yeah. 
Why was it opt in? 

454
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,760
It should. 
Have been on by default and then

455
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,120
opt out. 
Yeah, that's, that's, yeah, this

456
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,240
is how there's things that 
should be opt in that thinks 

457
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,560
that shouldn't be right. 
Yeah. 

458
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,480
Now we've gone Mac rumours, 
story talks about it. 

459
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:21,840
And yeah, Mexicans now access 
all of Instagram's DMS, 

460
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,200
including text, images, videos 
and voice notes. 

461
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,680
And they're directing users who 
want encrypted messaging to use 

462
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,400
WhatsApp instead. 
And they've, yeah, previously 

463
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760
promoted to encryption under the
slogan of The Future is Private 

464
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,520
all the way back in 2019. 
There is a let me just show you 

465
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,280
Joe Tidy did a write up. 
On the BBC about this. 

466
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:50,480
And there is a screenshot of. 
Stood in front of a massive 

467
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,480
screen. 
Pointing up to a. 

468
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,920
Sign that says the future is 
private at a keynote and it's 

469
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,480
like. 
If it moves. 

470
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,880
To. 
Privacy on Instagram now? 

471
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,120
Not anymore, it isn't. 
Yeah. 

472
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,520
So I mean, for anybody using 
Instagram, you maybe want to. 

473
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,360
And yet if you're concerned 
about your conversations being 

474
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,720
not private anymore, yeah, move 
to WhatsApp or some other 

475
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,960
encrypted messaging. 
Yeah, it's probably about if I 

476
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,040
am, it's an audience, I guess 
that Instagram users maybe, 

477
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:22,520
maybe they wouldn't want to use 
WhatsApp. 

478
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,320
I mean, you can't, I mean you 
just share like if you're using 

479
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,600
Instagram posts and Reels and 
stuff, obviously you can share 

480
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,480
those via WhatsApp. 
But it's where the licence 

481
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,080
experience having to go between 
apps. 

482
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,880
It's different though. 
Different audiences, like we 

483
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,440
have people message us on 
Instagram, comments about the 

484
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,120
posts we make. 
They're not going to WhatsApp. 

485
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,680
Me because I'm not giving them 
my e-mail address or my phone 

486
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,840
number. 
Do you know what I mean? 

487
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,480
So. 
It is a different. 

488
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,160
Audience like the arguments for 
this, the arguments for I I read

489
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,240
a couple of things someone said 
they want to see your messages 

490
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,880
so they can train their AI on 
your conversations, which they 

491
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,280
can't do if they're encrypted, 
but also. 

492
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,680
Because. 
FBI, you know it the. 

493
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,560
You know, crime, the enforcement
agencies want to be able to 

494
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,960
access these messages. 
So rather than dealing with any 

495
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,360
of that difficulty. 
Like it's in, it's in their 

496
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:19,280
interest as a business to not 
encrypt these messages. 

497
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,200
And yeah, the. 
Way they they didn't even 

498
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,240
announce that this was turning 
off they just change the terms 

499
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,760
and conditions is like really 
awful yeah it's. 

500
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,200
Out of curiosity looked about 
like if TikTok uses it and they 

501
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,880
don't have Internet encryption 
and this sort of mentions that 

502
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,080
potentially and does their 
ability to prevent harmful 

503
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,760
content scams and potentially 
can protect children easier. 

504
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,480
Yeah, anyone in general, I mean,
that is. 

505
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:56,120
That is a thing like where we 
post on Instagram and Tiktok the

506
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,960
creator care mode that they have
in the comments, which I 

507
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,080
imagine. 
Carries through to the actual 

508
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,960
messages as well. 
Is. 

509
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,760
Actually. 
Quite good, like you don't see. 

510
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,880
I've actually got no idea if 
anyone says anything bad about 

511
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,920
us because I've never seen I've 
been in this dream state where 

512
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,640
everyone's only talking 
positively. 

513
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320
Maybe they do, but create a 
caremode hiding it from me, 

514
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,160
which I'm happy with like I'm 
not. 

515
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,760
I don't need to look under. 
The carpet, it's fine. 

516
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,240
It's I don't need. 
To look under the bed, no one 

517
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,120
needs to see that. 
So yeah, I get that as well. 

518
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:35,160
The problem is making it optic. 
Yeah, IT people need to know 

519
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,040
that this has been turned off 
and need to know that their 

520
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,840
messages may be accessed by X. 
Or Y, and that's something that 

521
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,960
I think more transparency needs 
to be done on. 

522
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,440
Like just sent just put. 
A little notification once every

523
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,360
couple of weeks. 
In someone's messages, if they 

524
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,120
use messages that says, meta has
access to your messages and may 

525
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,760
share them with their. 
Eyes or something? 

526
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,520
Yeah, don't go sending intimate 
pictures via messages on 

527
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Instagram encrypted messaging. 
Platforms are available. 

528
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,760
I think that's what that boils 
down to. 

529
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,480
Yeah, I do. 
I mean. 

530
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,960
Just quickly, I do wonder if you
had it enabled if it's now told 

531
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,600
you that it's gone. 
Probably not. 

532
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,000
Maybe not, probably not. 
No. 

533
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,960
Next one, yeah. 
Next. 

534
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,600
One anthropic. 
I love saying that word. 

535
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,920
It's such a good word to say. 
Anthropic CEO Anthropic CEO 

536
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,000
warns of moment of danger as 
Mythos exposes thousands of 

537
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,120
software vulnerabilities. 
So this is Anthropic is 

538
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,280
obviously clawed and this is, I 
think this is quite big, but 

539
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,680
it's a bit terrifying as well 
when you think about the bigger 

540
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:49,120
picture. 
So Anthropic CEO Dario Amodi has

541
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,720
said there's a 6 to 12 month 
window to patch 10s of thousands

542
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,360
of software vulnerabilities 
found by Mythos AI, which is 

543
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,600
Anthropic clawed Mythos. 
Mythos is the massive 

544
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120
vulnerability scanning engine 
that they locked down, they were

545
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,880
strict in access to because it 
was just going to wreak too much

546
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,640
havoc. 
So they gave access to only a 

547
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,840
limited number of trusted 
partners because basically it 

548
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,960
was too good at finding broken 
stuff. 

549
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,840
So they've said there's a 6 to 
12 month window to patch all the

550
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,720
bad stuff it's found before 
Chinese AI catches up. 

551
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,720
So for example, an earlier 
Anthropic model found roughly 20

552
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:34,880
vulnerabilities in Firefox. 
Mythos found nearly 300 with 

553
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,720
the. 
Total across all. 

554
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Software now in the 10s of 
thousands and over 99% of these 

555
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,480
remain unpatched. 
Mythos has been restricted to 40

556
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,920
partner organisations including 
Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, JP 

557
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,080
Morgan, Palo Alto under what 
they call Project Glass Wing. 

558
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,920
So Mythos was able to chain 40 
day vulnerabilities into a 

559
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,720
single browser exploit that 
escaped both but will escaped 

560
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,800
all kinds of protection. 
So they say that similar 

561
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,680
capabilities that essentially 
you could do the work of Mythos 

562
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,600
by chaining together a load of. 
AI models and being really 

563
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,160
clever, but Mythos makes it 
really easy so. 

564
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,680
The state. 
Of this is the Federal Reserve 

565
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,360
Chair and the Treasury Secretary
in America have convened bank 

566
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,520
CEOs to discuss the implications
like straight away. 

567
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,920
Is the money safe? 
That's like that's obviously the

568
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,680
number. 
One thing for the people in 

569
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,840
power, because money is power 
and power is money, but this is 

570
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,960
massive. 
I think organisations, these 

571
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,880
tooling, this tells us why 
patching is so important and I 

572
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,200
think we need, we're going to 
need to tell our people that 

573
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,240
because over the next year 
there's going to be a load of 

574
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,480
patches coming down the pipe, so
many systems that haven't been 

575
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,440
patched before. 
And some key. 

576
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,360
There's going to be 
infrastructure, hardware and 

577
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,160
software that's going to need 
patching that maybe you haven't 

578
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,280
got patching Windows for. 
That's going to mean rebooting 

579
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,160
systems that haven't been 
rebooted for years. 

580
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,240
And years and people are going 
to. 

581
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,640
Go. 
What happens if we reboot that 

582
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,240
and someone's going to go. 
I don't know. 

583
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,960
It might start up again, it 
might not. 

584
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,080
And this goes far and. 
Wide like we think about we. 

585
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,360
Think about the windows. 
Systems in the business we used 

586
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720
to work at, there was a time 
they didn't have a patching 

587
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,160
window and then all of that got 
brought in and then we can think

588
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,440
about like you used to look 
after some really old CCTV 

589
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,520
systems that were running 
Microsoft XP. 

590
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,000
Like 6-7 years ago you know that
they should have long been 

591
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,960
retired. 
And this. 

592
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,760
Is the type of. 
Stuff this is going to try and 

593
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,600
mop up. 
It's yeah, it's quite. 

594
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,400
Scary to think about mythos. 
Found a 27 year old 

595
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,360
vulnerability in open BSD which 
is one of the most security 

596
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,240
hardened operating systems on 
the planet. 

597
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,720
And and my notes. 
Here is basically saying if if 

598
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,760
you know if decades of expert 
human review misses that. 

599
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,720
Then we kind. 
Of need AI on the defensive side

600
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,280
as well before they get it on 
the attacking. 

601
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,880
Side yeah, and it's going to. 
Happen at a. 

602
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,640
Nation state level, someone's 
going to say this in the 

603
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,400
comments. 
In a nation state level, we're 

604
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,400
already there, right? 
Because what they've got behind 

605
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,360
closed doors, it's probably 567 
generations ahead of what we've 

606
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,600
got publicly. 
What's? 

607
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:35,120
Publicly disclosed is probably. 
A carefully PR D mission. 

608
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,520
So China, whoever, China, 
Russia, Korea, you know, let's 

609
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,160
not discriminate anyone, OK? 
We have listeners around the 

610
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,760
world more than ever, which is 
amazing. 

611
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,120
But. 
Nation. 

612
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,880
States are already going to have
access to some of these powerful

613
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,640
tools, you know. 
People in the East will be. 

614
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Poking at people at the West. 
People in the West will be 

615
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,960
poking at people in the East. 
So patch. 

616
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,560
Patch. 
Patch. 

617
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,000
Patch, patch, patch, patch. 
Yeah, it. 

618
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,280
Does make you wonder with the 
partner organisations who have 

619
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,400
access to it, is it locked down 
to their environment and like 

620
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,120
linked to their software or can 
it be used on like in any way? 

621
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:18,040
Like I said there, I'd hope that
it's locked down in some form to

622
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,480
only work on Google, only works 
on their software. 

623
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,880
Who knows? 
You know, you know. 

624
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,960
Who's just become the biggest 
targets in the world? 

625
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,239
Cybersecurity attackers? 
Anyone who's got access to 

626
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,199
project last week? 
They they are. 

627
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:40,239
Now you know. 
Yeah, companies like AWS, 

628
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,080
Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, 
Cisco, Crowdstrike. 

629
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,960
Google, JP Morgan Chase, Linux 
Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, 

630
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,639
Palo Alto, they are all now 
like. 

631
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,280
Being poked at. 
In ways that they've not been 

632
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,199
poked before because if someone 
get access, gets access to them,

633
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,040
it's amazing. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a 

634
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,560
really nice. 
Video actually, when you go to 

635
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,640
anthropic.com, Glasswing, 
there's some details about 

636
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,160
Mythos and it's a really nice 
website that kind of explains 

637
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,280
explains it all. 
It's clear it's crystal and kind

638
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,040
of goes through it. 
It is fairly technical, but if 

639
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,160
you want to dive. 
In that go to anthropic dot 

640
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,800
forward slash glasswing and it's
yeah, explains a little bit 

641
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,200
about it, right let's. 
Move on to the next one. 

642
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:24,840
Cool. 
Yeah. 

643
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,240
And. 
Next one, we've got open AI 

644
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,320
that's a trusted contact feature
to Jack GPT after self harm 

645
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,160
lawsuits. 
So this is a feature that lets 

646
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,840
adult users nominate someone who
they may want to be notified if 

647
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,760
the system detects signs of 
serious self harm risk. 

648
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,880
Gets a bunch of information on 
on how it works, but it also 

649
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,440
says that notifications are 
reviewed by a small team of 

650
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,920
trained humans before being sent
with a target review time of 

651
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,880
under one hour. 
So that's almost sounds like 

652
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,640
ironically something that an AI 
could potentially do instead of 

653
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,880
a small team of humans. 
It says that no transcripts or 

654
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,320
conversation details are shared 
with Trusted Contacts. 

655
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,600
I guess it's a scan notification
that this person's in a 

656
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,320
vulnerable position. 
But yet follows a wave of 

657
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,160
lawsuits from families that 
allege that tractability 

658
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,880
encouraged or assisted self 
harm. 

659
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,360
Some critics have argued yet 
that this feature creates 

660
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,000
privacy concerns around who 
interprets mental States and 

661
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:29,560
escalates sensitive, sensitive 
information to untrained third 

662
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,800
parties. 
Goes on The vibe and AI reported

663
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,480
that less than 0.1% of its 
weekly users showed signs of 

664
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,440
mental health emergencies. 
Says quite a sort of tricky 

665
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,600
situation. 
This one, I mean, people use 

666
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,240
chat pity for therapy and 
health, but I feel that that was

667
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:51,440
something that was sort of they 
turned off like it matters like.

668
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,040
No Oh it's OK less than nought 
.1% show signs of self harm or 

669
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,520
like. 
That doesn't matter. 

670
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,840
When you've got billions of 
users, yeah, like nought .1%. 

671
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,880
Still a pretty significant 
number, isn't it? 

672
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:08,040
Yeah, yeah. 
I've got Trusted Contacts 

673
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,160
available on mine and they've 
said it's a new feature rolling 

674
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,160
out. 
I haven't been notified about it

675
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,640
at all. 
So. 

676
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,480
But it says having. 
A trusted contact can make it 

677
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,920
easier to get support from 
someone who knows you well in 

678
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,000
the future if you discuss 
suicide. 

679
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,800
With ChatGPT in a way that 
indicates serious safety 

680
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,080
concern, we may automatically 
notify your Trusted Contacts so 

681
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,480
they can check in with you. 
It's not the best. 

682
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,320
Way to dress it up. 
Is it in the future if you 

683
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,600
discuss ending your we've 
ChatGPT in a way that indicates 

684
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,840
serious safety concern? 
I'm sorry, there's there's a 

685
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,840
better wording, more sensitive. 
Like if anyone is thinking about

686
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,120
doing that, one of the last 
things you do, I think is 

687
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,240
admitting that you're thinking 
about doing that. 

688
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,680
Yeah, the. 
AI should be able to pick up if 

689
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,280
you're if you're if you're going
down a dark path. 

690
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,280
Surely they can pick it up 
before like asking me. 

691
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,720
Oh, if you do discuss. 
This. 

692
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,120
Yeah. 
Well, maybe as well I. 

693
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,760
Can sort of maybe not discuss 
how to do things. 

694
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,760
It seems to be possible, at 
least at one point it was 

695
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,960
possible maybe to find out a lot
of information in a bad sort of 

696
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,480
way. 
And I mean, you could know where

697
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,920
the user is, it could put point 
them to various places for help,

698
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,800
right? 
Does this not feel like lip? 

699
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,440
Service does this not oh it's 
all. 

700
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,680
Right. 
We've done, we've done this. 

701
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,720
It's fine. 
We've sorted this out. 

702
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,960
Yeah, it's it feels like this 
is. 

703
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,440
Very much just providing. 
Yeah, we're, we're dealing with 

704
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,920
this. 
It reminds me of. 

705
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Was it a meta thing, a safety 
feature that we looked at Baul 

706
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,320
back and it was pretty poorly 
integrated and very basic. 

707
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,040
This is to. 
This is to. 

708
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,600
Keep keep people like if people 
complain, oh, we've had the 

709
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,040
lawsuits, right? 
Yeah. 

710
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,360
Yeah, completely. 
I've also just seen Open AI. 

711
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,240
ChatGPT has now got parental 
controls as well, and parents 

712
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:12,400
and teens can link accounts, 
giving parents tools to adjust 

713
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,160
certain features, set limits and
add safeguards. 

714
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:16,960
There's other thing as well, 
right? 

715
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,600
If you're not logged in to 
ChatGPT, this isn't going to 

716
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,360
work. 
You can use it using logging in.

717
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,000
I think so. 
I mean, maybe. 

718
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,800
Not for maybe like says you've 
got like a certain amount of 

719
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,320
usage, but I mean, it's not just
tragic petite, right? 

720
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,680
You can Gemini, you can or 
Google Google AI searches now 

721
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,720
you can just do anonymous, 
anonymous thing. 

722
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Yeah. 

723
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,160
I do all of this. 
The fact it's just been added at

724
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,880
the bottom of the settings 
window that I don't think I've 

725
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,880
ever been in, you know, it 
doesn't even nudge me. 

726
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,040
I've just looked. 
I haven't got MFA configured. 

727
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,480
I think I authenticate through. 
Google, but I don't have MFA. 

728
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,560
Configured as well, and I 
haven't been prompted for that. 

729
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,320
It's like they should be 
prompting for these basic 

730
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,320
things. 
So yeah, yeah, nice try. 

731
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,280
Open AI, but I'm not convinced 
it's good. 

732
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,000
I think you're just trying to 
keep the wolf from the door in 

733
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
some ways. 
Yeah, the next one and. 

734
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,960
This is kind of hilarious, but 
also a bit scary. 

735
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:24,200
Student hacks Taiwan high speed 
rail by exploiting a 19 year old

736
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,280
radio system. 
So a 23 year old with consumer 

737
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,120
electronics he bought in he 
bought online managed to stop a 

738
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,200
National Rail network carrying 
80 million passengers a year. 

739
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,920
The the Tetra radio system that 
the entire Taiwan high speed 

740
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,440
rail network relies on hadn't 
had its encryption keys changed 

741
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:53,560
19. 
Years 1919 years that's not a 

742
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,720
failure of technology that's 
like a failure of support 

743
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:00,840
maintenance of governance and 
them not thinking of that the. 

744
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,600
Student's defence So the 
student's defence was said it 

745
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,400
was accidental and I mean. 
That's kind of not completely 

746
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,440
convincing. 
He bought specialised equipment,

747
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
decoded the system's parameters,
programmed. 

748
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,680
Them into handheld radios and 
transmitted fake emergency 

749
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,640
signals at 11:23 PMI mean, 
that's a lot of. 

750
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,240
Accidents to happen in a row, 
but this was a. 

751
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:27,120
Student, right? 
Just imagine it's like the plot 

752
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,440
of a movie, like it's a die hard
movie. 

753
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,840
Yeah, we're going to. 
We're going to bring the whole 

754
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,760
train system to a halt, you 
know, just to do. 

755
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,200
This is exactly like Ocean's 11 
or something like that, only you

756
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,320
don't. 
Need some whiz kid at a computer

757
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,160
chewing gum to do it? 
You can get a 23 year old. 

758
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,600
University student who probably 
is a whiz kid and he might have 

759
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,240
been chewing gum. 
But just imagine what could have

760
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,320
happened with this. 
So, and this is the thing, it's.

761
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,560
An old system, right? 
19 years old, probably put in, 

762
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,960
probably maintained for a while,
Maybe there's still one guy. 

763
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,680
Like I've known one guy who has 
one responsibility and he's the 

764
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,960
only guy in the business that 
can do that kind of thing. 

765
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:16,080
You know, there's in, in 
businesses, you have these 

766
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,880
legacy technologies that have 
hung around that work that have 

767
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,480
never come to the top of the 
list when it comes to being 

768
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,160
replaced because they just 
function and the business. 

769
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,760
Relies on them, and they're 
baked in. 

770
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,280
And this is exactly the. 
Type of thing that mythos will 

771
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,000
take. 
Advantage of going back to the 

772
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,120
earlier conversation around 
anthropic mythos, it's it's 

773
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,680
scary and especially if you. 
Can do it. 

774
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,160
With stuff you can just. 
Buy online consumer electronics 

775
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,200
Sneakers. 
That's what this reminds me of 

776
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,800
sneakers, the old Robert Redford
film, which is still one of my 

777
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,160
favourite hacking films. 
It's it's from the 90s, but it 

778
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,800
still holds up today. 
It's still relevant social 

779
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,840
engineering and stuff like this.
Yeah, yeah. 

780
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,440
So that's crazy. 
From an awareness. 

781
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,160
From a human perspective. 
These news stories. 

782
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,000
Are really good to present to 
the people in your organisation 

783
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,520
because they'll get you thinking
about stuff that you haven't 

784
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,960
thought of. 
It might be like, oh, we've got 

785
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,400
a really old radio system that 
we haven't touched for years. 

786
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,880
Oh. 
Yeah, maybe we should look in 

787
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,760
there without. 
Imagine if that happened to us, 

788
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,000
You know, that's it and it. 
Yeah, well, you said one of. 

789
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,240
Those things that only one 
person, or maybe that person's 

790
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:33,920
left and this is unsupported 
thing. 

791
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,920
But that's crazy that yeah, 
Taiwan's system relied on that. 

792
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,120
I knew a business. 
Once that had their phone system

793
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,600
ran on a computer that was at an
employee's home that sat under a

794
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,000
desk at home and it was like a 
really old system. 

795
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,080
I also knew a company once that 
their whole kind of online 

796
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,080
shopping operation ran from a 
spreadsheet on a desk that had a

797
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,080
post it note on it that said. 
Don't turn off. 

798
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,840
But these were a long. 
Time ago and businesses evolved 

799
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,880
since then. 
You know, every business will 

800
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,120
have these somewhere under a 
desk or something. 

801
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,640
Yeah, right. 
Move on to the next one. 

802
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,280
Last one, I think the next one 
is to this week. 

803
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,720
Yeah, to this. 1. 
Yeah, it's. 

804
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Kind of like a similar one to 
our last episode Around the 

805
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,760
Toaster with Internet connected 
features. 

806
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,720
Who needs an Internet? 
Connected toaster, sorry. 

807
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:28,320
So you can. 
Now we've got a YABO robot 

808
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,760
lawnmower which has hard coded 
passwords. 

809
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,280
Brilliant. 
Because yeah, that doors and can

810
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,720
be trolled be controlled 
remotely by anyone. 

811
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:40,760
So this is security researcher 
Andreas Macris just covered 

812
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,000
critical vulnerabilities in 
every YABO robot lawnmower 

813
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,720
worldwide. 
And that's roughly 11 similar as

814
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:49,480
well to the the robot vacuum 
cleaner. 

815
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:56,200
Yeah, it says that every YABO 
runs a full Linux instance with 

816
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,280
the same hard coded root 
password that resets of every 

817
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,360
firmware update. 
Which, yeah, allows an attacker 

818
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,320
to remotely control the mouse 
blades movement access on board 

819
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:12,840
cameras, still Wi-Fi passwords 
and read the GPS coordinates as 

820
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,280
well as the owner e-mail 
address. 

821
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,560
And also as you. 
Mentioned in the start of the 

822
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,560
episode, Prevent the emergency 
stop button from being used. 

823
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,680
Yeah, there's a lot to this one.
The other telemetry is also 

824
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,520
rooted free Byte Dance Systems, 
which is obviously Tik Tok's 

825
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,080
parent company. 
And this is a $5000 which weighs

826
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,040
over 200 lbs and has blades 
capable of causing serious 

827
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,960
injuries. 
So it's a bit different. 

828
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,880
To a robot vacuum that you can 
probably just pick up and, you 

829
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,720
know, yeah, if this is. 
I'm just looking at them. 

830
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:45,240
These are hefty units. 
It doesn't look like a. 

831
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,120
Kind of futuristic sci-fi thing 
there. 

832
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,360
And there's a. 
Let's say a nice. 

833
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,080
GIF of it running someone over 
as well. 

834
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,480
Quickly. 
Just bring that up on the 

835
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,080
screen. 
You see that? 

836
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,760
Oh, that's brilliant. 
So it's possible to. 

837
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:11,000
Run someone over. 
Yeah, this is quite a it's kind 

838
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,760
of a movie part in a way, like 
an AI uprising of it's got cheap

839
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,400
horror. 
Film written all over it, hasn't

840
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,760
it? 
Like Oh my God, the mower. 

841
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,440
And then? 
It's like and then someone 

842
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,800
running away from it and just 
constantly this mower's 

843
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,160
following. 
Yeah, it's. 

844
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,920
Got it's scary moving all over 
it. 

845
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,880
But when it's yeah, not. 
Even just the physical damage 

846
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,440
you could do, right? 
This can obviously get the 

847
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,040
cheapest coordinates still. 
Yeah, you can get the Wi-Fi 

848
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,720
password and there's obviously, 
yeah, 11,000 devices in the 

849
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,920
world that could be affected by 
it. 

850
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,160
It's an interesting. 
One Yabo's telemetry is routed 

851
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,120
through Byte Dance. 
And byte. 

852
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,080
Dance is obviously Tik Tok's 
parent company and there's in 

853
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,480
America they had the whole 
uproar about Byte Dance getting 

854
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,600
all of the algorithm from yeah, 
here is the same company getting

855
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,600
access to GPS locations and. 
I wonder if these things cameras

856
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,600
as well. 
So you can because I have can. 

857
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,280
Drive it somewhere. 
Yeah. 

858
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,640
Cut some grass. 
Yeah. 

859
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,920
But then if this. 
Goes through byte dances, 

860
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,920
servers. 
What else goes through Byte 

861
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,800
Dance that's like this in so 
many ways? 

862
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,840
You're you're infiltrated by 
many different things, yeah. 

863
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,040
Yeah, that's quite a. 
Yeah, wild story. 

864
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,520
It's quite intricate. 
You can get AI mean it's. 

865
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,200
Amazing. 
You're both do like a they don't

866
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,920
eat leaf. 
A robot leaf blower and a robot.

867
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,600
Snow blower and see. 
That one, yeah, it's. 

868
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,520
Like completely much. 
I kind of want one. 

869
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,440
But don't want one. 
Do you know what I mean? 

870
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,720
Like this is. 
This is I'm not going to get one

871
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,280
that. 
Yeah, they've. 

872
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:04,520
Got Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a 
lot of sort of previous risk and

873
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,600
failings I guess in how they've 
set this up. 

874
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,280
And then their back end with the
the root bars have been hard 

875
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,720
coded and the same on all of 
them. 

876
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,800
And as this great research 
obviously goes all into the 

877
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,880
details there. 
And I think so it says that 

878
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,720
they've reached out to their 
company and said that they're 

879
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:31,400
solved there by design, even 
though it can obviously be used 

880
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,880
in. 
Sort of. 

881
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,120
Potentially harmful ways. 
I'm really fed up. 

882
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,240
With the excuse for many of 
these things being there by 

883
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:43,360
design, we had this last week 
with Microsoft keeping all their

884
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,280
passwords in plain text. 
Even though like no other 

885
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,640
Chromium based browser does, 
it's Microsoft saying it's by 

886
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,360
design. 
I think that's a really poor 

887
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,960
excuse. 
Like, Oh yeah, it's by. 

888
00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:00,320
Design like when someone finds a
security issue or a physical 

889
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,200
security issue. 
That shouldn't be. 

890
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,880
Acceptable saying it's by 
design. 

891
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,000
It's like what? 
Your design is really bad. 

892
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,800
Yeah, it does go on actually to 
say. 

893
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,160
So this part, this probably 
explains why it goes to buy 

894
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,200
dances service. 
So they this research piece goes

895
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,480
on to say that the Arbo said 
that its corporate headquarters 

896
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,040
is needed in New York. 
It's Kickstarter website has a 

897
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,800
photo of a nice office block 
with the Arbo logo across the 

898
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,920
front of it about Google Maps 
suggest it's just a small 

899
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,000
building that they sort of 
bought in America and claimed 

900
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,400
it's their their location. 
And they've gone to say that 

901
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,080
Yabo is another name for hanging
out in tech, which is based in 

902
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:48,320
Shenzhen, China. 
So it claims to be a sort of 

903
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,160
U.S. company, but it's actually 
a Chinese company, which is 

904
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,440
obviously why they're using, but
that's the servers there. 

905
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,040
There's another article that 
goes on to say that you have a 

906
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,560
promise to fix some of these 
issues, but I can't read it 

907
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,440
because it's payroll. 
But yeah, yeah, this is one of 

908
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,560
those things, right? 
Just another Internet of Things 

909
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:09,880
device that's vulnerable. 
Do you remember we? 

910
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,680
Spoke episodes ago about there 
being a about all IoT devices 

911
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,560
having to meet a certain 
standard. 

912
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:21,160
That clearly. 
Hasn't come into force yet. 

913
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:26,120
All this ways around it that is 
so needed for things like this. 

914
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,880
And maybe not even maybe then it
needs to be there for software 

915
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,520
as well, I mean. 
Yeah, Microsoft. 

916
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,480
Edge is Microsoft running on 
Microsoft. 

917
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,640
So like they're going to like we
can do what we want, but 

918
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,680
something like this like it 
should. 

919
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,040
I'm sure we covered. 
That old devices would have to 

920
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,000
have unique passwords and stuff 
like this. 

921
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,160
This would fail that, surely. 
Yeah, yeah. 

922
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:57,680
Yeah, it makes you. 
Sort of wonder, and maybe this 

923
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,880
is just in America, but the fact
that they can operate and sell 

924
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,560
the device to consumers, but no 
one's checking that they're 

925
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,240
genuine in that way. 
And as yeah, like I said, 

926
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:15,640
there's no checklist for the 
safety of their their devices 

927
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,640
for the Internet connection sort
of aspect of it. 

928
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:22,000
Yeah, that's it. 
It's pretty poor, pretty poor 

929
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,680
details of that. 
We'll put links to all that 

930
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,640
research and everything in the 
newsletter, which get risky 

931
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,400
creative.com or search for the 
awareness angle on LinkedIn. 

932
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,920
Right, that's this week's news. 
So let's get on with some 

933
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:42,080
security socials. 
OK, so I had a few things to 

934
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,920
share this week. 
The first one is similar to 

935
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,600
something you shared a few weeks
ago. 

936
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,840
A few weeks ago you shared about
free Wi-Fi on a plane in a QR 

937
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,120
code, right? 
Well. 

938
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:55,760
This is Instagram and you can 
see here someone's it's a 

939
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,440
McDonald's, there's a sign 
McDonald's branded that says 

940
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,840
free Wi-Fi and there's a Wi-Fi 
QR code underneath it and. 

941
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,920
There's a guy that comes. 
Up to it puts it up, someone 

942
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,920
goes up and scans it and there's
the same monkey giving the 

943
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:15,440
middle finger as you scan it and
this poor guy is looking around 

944
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,280
like what What's happened? 
What's happened? 

945
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,520
Yeah, just be careful with. 
I mean, that's a fun little 

946
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,720
video, right? 
Share it with your workforce. 

947
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,120
Explain why they need to be 
careful scanning QR codes. 

948
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:34,440
Yeah, the next one I wanted to 
share this week was something I 

949
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,320
saw on. 
LinkedIn. 

950
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,240
So this was something from 
Joseph Cox, who is the Co 

951
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:46,240
founder and journalist at 404 
media, which was, you know, one 

952
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:48,160
of our. 
Kind of favourite. 

953
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,960
Favourite media Cybersecurity 
news sites 404. 

954
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,960
Media is quite good. 
So recently I opened up 

955
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,160
Microsoft Teams and was greeted 
with a deep faked version of my 

956
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,840
own face. 
Here's how we got the Chinese 

957
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,800
language software from being 
marketed to scammers and which 

958
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,560
can be used on WhatsApp, Zoom or
other platforms. 

959
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,880
So let me just play a little bit
of this live. 

960
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,680
Real time deep fake version of 
myself. 

961
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:24,360
Be clear once again, this guy in
the Microsoft Teams call is not 

962
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:29,920
actually me. 
It's my own face on someone 

963
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,600
else's body, this guy's. 
It was all there. 

964
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,520
My deepfake even pinched his 
cheek, covered his nose, and 

965
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,760
stroked his chin, all without 
the illusion breaking. 

966
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,240
It's all thanks to a gaming 
laptop and a sought after 

967
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,560
cutting edge piece of deepfake 
software that I got access to 

968
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,440
after weeks of back and forth 
with the Chinese language 

969
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,720
scammers spelling the tool with 
how Qin AI. 

970
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,440
Oh my God. 
So yeah, it. 

971
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,560
Goes on. 
Basically we spoke a few weeks 

972
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,920
ago about the guy asking the 
person he was interviewing to 

973
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,520
put three fingers over his face 
and the guy refused. 

974
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,320
You can do that with this. 
I mean it's. 

975
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,520
They've gone into. 
It, I mean, it did look slow, it

976
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:17,600
did look low quality, very soft 
tones on the face. 

977
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,240
It looked like there was a 
philtre applied. 

978
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:22,320
So it's only going to get better
though. 

979
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,120
And yeah, maybe you can't 
believe everything you see on 

980
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,440
camera. 
Anymore. 

981
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,040
Yeah. 
Especially look. 

982
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:35,040
They've got somewhat trained. 
I I guess the average person 

983
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,960
maybe wouldn't see those signs 
too easily. 

984
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,120
And I guess it's about the 
education side of things that 

985
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,520
need to come in. 
Yeah. 

986
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:48,000
Yeah, yeah, it's. 
It's worrying times, this stuff,

987
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,880
so this stuff is available, it's
out there. 

988
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:58,240
There's a whole article on. 
Four O 4 media about it that 

989
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:02,160
explains more details about the 
software and what they saw, but 

990
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,560
you need to be a paid member to.
Access it, which is a shame. 

991
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,560
I feel like I feel. 
Like they shouldn't have a 

992
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,320
paywall on an article like that 
but I get why they have because 

993
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,800
it probably generates a lot of 
income but it's a shame that 

994
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,640
they've paywalled back. 
I'll move. 

995
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,840
On to the next one and the next 
one was a post I saw on Reddit 

996
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,840
on no stupid questions. 
There are sometimes stupid 

997
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,600
questions or no stupid 
questions, but this one didn't 

998
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,160
feel like a stupid question and 
you can see here. 

999
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,600
Why haven't hackers deleted 
student loans? 

1000
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:36,640
Why hasn't? 
A. 

1001
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,720
Benevolent hacker gotten into 
certain websites and deleted 

1002
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:42,480
student loans. 
Is it their ironclad 

1003
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,840
cybersecurity? 
Are the risks too high? 

1004
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,200
Is it just not profitable so it 
wouldn't be worth it? 

1005
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,440
If a hacker could delete my 
mortgage that'd be amazing. 

1006
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,240
Do you think each loan servicer 
just has a massive spreadsheet 

1007
00:55:55,240 --> 00:55:57,600
on file shares somewhere called 
debt Ledger? 

1008
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,040
Please don't delete XLS as their
only record some of the 

1009
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,800
comments. 
Because delete in a database 

1010
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,280
entry doesn't delete the legally
binding promissory note you 

1011
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,000
sign. 
The debt exists on paper in. 

1012
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,440
Contracts and in court records. 
So it's quite. 

1013
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,760
I mean this is. 
Quite an interesting it does 

1014
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,720
make you wonder if people in 
organisations, the people we try

1015
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:23,080
to protect would have questions 
like that and maybe that's a 

1016
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,120
question that we should be 
answering. 

1017
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:29,600
You know, maybe if we do 
newsletters, we should have a no

1018
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,440
stupid questions that we can 
feed from stuff like that. 

1019
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:40,760
Yeah, I think it's not easy to 
delete like they say. 

1020
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,000
It's not as if you that's just 
written down in one Ledger and 

1021
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,160
not. 
Anywhere else, it's it's kind of

1022
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,280
everywhere, yeah. 
I had a. 

1023
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:55,440
The other one I wanted to share 
this week was a post I saw from.

1024
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,400
It was on LinkedIn again and. 
Let me just load. 

1025
00:56:58,440 --> 00:56:59,480
It up. 
This is from. 

1026
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:07,240
Jessica Bayless So Jessica 
basically says it felt fitting. 

1027
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,880
I got my first recruitment scam 
e-mail on Saturday. 

1028
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,840
Look, I teach people to 
recognise scams. 

1029
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,440
She does our job right? 
She did. 

1030
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,040
She's a cyber policy and human 
risk leader. 

1031
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:19,480
I teach. 
People to. 

1032
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,560
Recognise scams and I couldn't 
help but feel the rise in the 

1033
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,040
hope, the excitement that maybe,
just maybe, this is a lead that 

1034
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,480
could result in a job. 
But that's what they want you to

1035
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,320
feel, so you let your guard 
down. 

1036
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,920
It's exactly the point. 
That she's making and if we look

1037
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,200
at this e-mail, we can see here.
They've tapped into. 

1038
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,600
I saw your profile and it 
clicked your experience. 

1039
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,880
In cybersecurity, communication 
policy development is perfect 

1040
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,240
match for the team I have in 
mind. 

1041
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,160
Your ability to translate 
technical security concepts into

1042
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,360
clear communication and drive 
behavioural change is exactly 

1043
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,200
what they're looking for in a 
leader. 

1044
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,200
To shape their awareness in 
human risk programmes. 

1045
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,960
The compensation for this role 
is very tasty, plus a bonus. 

1046
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,800
If you're open to a move, reach 
out to the recruiting team at 

1047
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,200
and feel free to CC me so they 
know I'm the one that's sent you

1048
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,200
like that feels there's so many 
triggers there. 

1049
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,040
There's so many like you're. 
The perfect match you are the 

1050
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:17,240
person we've been looking for 
you are you're going to solve 

1051
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,520
all of our problems we want you 
and we're going to pay you a 

1052
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:26,200
really nice sum of money to come
to us please come to us e-mail 

1053
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:31,440
and mention me as well like the 
amount of validation and it's 

1054
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,400
yeah in. 
Itself is. 

1055
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,760
Like I think. 
You can see. 

1056
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,200
I reckon that's been written. 
There's a nice M-IN there and 

1057
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,760
it's overflowing with 
enthusiasm. 

1058
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,240
So it's got all the hallmarks 
have been written by AI as well,

1059
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,240
I think, Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1060
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,520
So these are. 
Probably just done at scale. 

1061
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,960
That's the scary thing. 
There's probably not a human 

1062
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,400
behind that that's delivered 
that. 

1063
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,400
It's probably a system. 
That's been. 

1064
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,080
Written. 
You know they're sending these. 

1065
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,400
Out en masse? 
Yeah. 

1066
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,600
Imagine. 
That yeah, Gmail account you can

1067
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,600
just set up, right? 
Yeah. 

1068
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,280
Do you? 
I remember now. 

1069
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,680
When I when I went open to work 
on LinkedIn, within seconds I 

1070
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:22,960
had someone message me. 
Within seconds there was there 

1071
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,600
was a Oh. 
I see you're open to work, blah 

1072
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,840
blah blah. 
And it's like, yeah, how no 

1073
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,680
human recruiter is that quick. 
They need to validate. 

1074
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,880
You they need to check, yeah. 
Kind of makes you think that. 

1075
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,920
In a way, if maybe Linkedin's 
set up that that's possible to 

1076
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,560
be easily monitored or scraped 
in some way you mean? 

1077
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,600
LinkedIn isn't. 
Absolutely. 

1078
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,880
I'm shooketh that you'd even 
suggest that LinkedIn might be 

1079
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:55,280
used for nefarious purposes. 
My Lord, LinkedIn is a safe 

1080
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,960
sanctuary for everyone. 
I'm going to get cancelled by 

1081
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,440
LinkedIn now. 
Yeah, I had. 

1082
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,160
There was one last thing I just 
wanted to mention and then we'll

1083
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:06,160
call it a day. 
We obviously post our content on

1084
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:10,480
TikTok and on Instagram and 
we've had some traffic do really

1085
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,160
well. 
We get loads of comments now and

1086
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:13,360
stuff like that, which is 
amazing. 

1087
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,640
I got a come on on TikTok which 
I thought was really 

1088
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,360
interesting. 
And it was by a user. 

1089
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:24,840
Called Grey for Fury and this 
was us talking about last week 

1090
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,120
we spoke about how all most half
of UK businesses have been hit 

1091
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,840
by a cyber attack 85% of 
breaches last year were caused 

1092
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,280
by phishing grey fury's comment 
on here says it's because 

1093
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,440
security teams silo themselves 
from. 

1094
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,080
Normal. 
IT and think they can resolve 

1095
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,960
this via technology and not 
engaging with users, though I 

1096
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,560
find that really interesting 
because I'm not sure it's 

1097
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,160
security teams. 
I wonder what side of the fence 

1098
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,760
Grey Fury sat on right. 
Because he might. 

1099
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,320
Be sat in an IT team that feels 
like security, if siloed 

1100
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,560
themselves, someone in that 
security team may feel like 

1101
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:07,400
they've been siloed by IT. 
Yeah, and I know I've sat in a 

1102
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:12,720
security team that has been 
outside of outside of IT because

1103
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,600
strategically it was decided 
that was probably the best 

1104
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,840
choice. 
So they were kind of operating 

1105
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,920
independently, but then you're 
not working. 

1106
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,040
Yeah. 
The key thing that Grey Fury 

1107
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,400
makes there, though, is engaging
not just with users, but with 

1108
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,680
individuals in different teams. 
And everyone is what? 

1109
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,600
That's what. 
It's engagement isn't. 

1110
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,200
It that's what we all need to 
work on and focus on, yeah. 

1111
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,120
Yeah. 
Right. 

1112
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:46,480
Let's call it a day then, shall 
we? 

1113
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,960
That's it for this week. 
Yeah, I think so. 

1114
