About this episode

In a hybrid war, sometimes it’s about the timing. Not quite all quiet on the cyber front. Pyongyang is phishing for crypto wallets (and your NFTs, and other blockchained valuables). Emotet really likes those malicious macros. Joe Carrigan looks at prompt bombing. Bec McKeown from Immersive Labs explains human cyber capabilities. And it’s our anniversary this week: celebrate with us.
