    The Malware Behind Holiday Scams - Ep 180

    Christmas holiday cybercrime is back in focus—but this time, Reimagining Cyber goes deeper than scams and suspicious messages. In a previous episode, we explored the holiday threat landscape from the victim’s point of view: phishing emails, fake delivery notices, and gift-card fraud. In this episode, cybersecurity expert Tyler Moffitt shift perspectives to what most people never see—the malware and criminal infrastructure that make those scams possible in the first place. The conversation dives into info stealers as the foundation of modern cybercrime, including a new malware-as-a-service offering dubbed “SantaStealer.” Tyler explains how stolen credentials and session tokens quietly enable account takeovers, fraud, and abuse at scale—often weeks before any scam ever reaches a user’s inbox. You’ll also learn why these threats spike during the holidays, how attackers bypass MFA without phishing, and what defenders should be prioritizing beyond traditional email security. If the last episode covered what holiday scams look like, this one explains how they’re powered—and why the real compromise often happens long before anyone realizes they’ve been targeted.

  4. AI Compliance : New Rules, But Are You Ready?

    AI Compliance : New Rules, But Are You Ready?

    AI is evolving faster than most organizations can keep up with — and the truth is, very few companies are prepared for what’s coming in 2026. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Rob Aragao speaks with Ken Johnston, VP of Data, Analytics and AI at Envorso, about the uncomfortable reality: autonomous AI systems are accelerating, regulations are tightening, and most businesses have no idea how much risk they’re carrying. Ken explains why companies have fallen behind, how “AI governance debt” has quietly piled up, and why leaders must take action now before the EU AI Act and Colorado’s 2026 regulation bring real financial consequences. From AI bias and data provenance to agentic AI guardrails, observability, audits, and model versioning — Ken lays out the essential steps organizations must take to catch up before it’s too late.  As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking Podcasts This list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!

    AI in OT: A Wake Up Call - Ep 177

    In this episode, Rob Aragao welcomes back cybersecurity expert and author Michael Echols to unpack the urgent realities behind his new book, AI Chaos. Michael explains how AI is rapidly entering operational technology (OT) systems—the infrastructure that runs our power grids, water systems, transportation, satellites, and more. But with this transformation comes a critical problem: leaders don’t truly understand where AI is operating, how it behaves, or how to control it. Together, Rob and Michael explore: How AI-driven OT systems are reshaping today’s critical infrastructure threat landscapeWhy future failures may not come from hackers—but from AI-enabled automation that organizations can’t see or shut offThe hidden vulnerabilities created by interconnected sensors, ML models, and autonomous decision loopsHow organizations should rethink resilience, governance, and risk in an AI-powered worldMichael’s AIM Frame maturity model and how leaders can assess their readiness for AI incidentsPractical steps security and technology leaders should take now to map AI usage, increase visibility, and prepare for inevitable model drift or autonomous system failuresIf your organization relies on OT, automation, or AI-driven systems, this conversation is a must-listen wake-up call.

    The Sensors Are Listening - Ep 175

    Your devices may be giving away more than you think. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber,  security expert Tyler Moffitt explores the hidden world of side-channel attacks — where everyday sensors reveal information you never intended to share. From Android apps that can infer your two-factor codes without screenshots, to gaming mice that “hear” speech through micro-vibrations, to Wi-Fi routers that detect motion inside your home, Tyler breaks down the cutting-edge research that blurs the line between science fiction and reality. He unpacks how these attacks work, what’s real versus proof-of-concept, and—most importantly—how to stay secure. Expect practical takeaways about permissions, firmware updates, passkeys, and a healthy dose of cybersecurity paranoia. Key Topics: How Android’s display timing leaks on-screen secretsWhy gaming mice might act like tiny microphonesThe evolution of Wi-Fi motion sensing from hacker demos to home featuresPractical privacy steps for everyday usersBottom Line: If it hums, blinks, or vibrates—it could be talking.
