    Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about our developing understanding of the group that people call Scattered Spider. Independent security firms agree that there are a small number of key people that are driving the group’s outrageous success. That gives us hope that targeted action might stem the bleeding. They also talk about data leaks from China’s cyber espionage ecosystem that are for sale on a data leak site. These look to contain actionable information from a counterintelligence point of view. And Tom wonders if a market for espionage-as-a-service will develop? This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes

    Srsly Risky Biz: Why Iran is a scaredy cat cyber chicken

    Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss warnings about Iranian cyber attacks on US critical infrastructure. Despite many many warnings, there have been no actual attacks and they discuss the reasons why Iran would want to avoid escalatory cyber attacks. They also talk about how the FBI is struggling to deal with the democratisation of surveillance and data analysis, what the agency calls Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance (UTS). A Department of Justice audit of the FBI’s response finds the threat from UTS is real and that sources have been murdered. But it seems that the FBI just doesn’t care.
