About this episode

FraudGPT is a chatbot with malign intent. Stealer logs in the C2C market. Signs in the blockchain that some Conti alumni are working with the Akira gang. Tim Starks from Washington Post's Cybersecurity 202 on the White House’s new National Cyber Director nominee. Maria Varmazis speaks with David Luber, Deputy Director of NSA's Cybersecurity Directorate, on space systems as critical infrastructure. And a kinetic strike against a cyber target: Ukrainian drones may have hit Fancy Bear’s Moscow digs.
