The Other Side Of The Firewall Ryan Williams

In this episode, the hosts discuss a news article about the shooting of an Uber driver in Ohio and the scam surrounding it. The scam involved social engineering tactics targeting, William J. Brock, an elderly man, convincing him to hand over $12,000 to, Lo-Letha Hall, an Uber driver who was actually an innocent bystander. Lo-Letha was shot by William, resulting in her death. 

The hosts emphasize the need to educate the elderly about these types of scams and the importance of having a code word or phrase to verify the authenticity of phone calls or messages. They also discuss the potential future risks of AI-generated voice and video impersonations in scams.

This is the laziest thumbnail I've ever made but is it as lazy as UnitedHealth's alleged lack of remote access authentication?

The jury is still out...

The conversation discusses the recent ransomware attack on Change Healthcare and the failure to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) as a basic security measure. The hosts express their frustration with the lack of MFA adoption and emphasize the importance of implementing adequate remote access authentication in today's digital age. They also highlight the financial and reputational consequences of not implementing proper cybersecurity measures. The conversation touches on the need for legislation and regulations to enforce cybersecurity practices in the healthcare industry. The hosts speculate on the potential reasons behind Change Healthcare's failure to prioritize cybersecurity and suggest that a lack of budget, resources, and continuity in leadership may have contributed to the breach.

In this Throwback episode S1, Ep5), Ryan, Shannon, and LeVon discuss the SolarWinds supply chain attack, Sunburst, as the event was still unfolding. This was one of our first episodes and still sits at the top of one of the biggest cyber incidents in a decade.

Topic 1:
A supply chain attack on SolarWinds has resulted in a widespread cyber espionage campaign, with state-sponsored actors allegedly working for Russia targeting US government agencies and major companies. The attack exploited a backdoor in SolarWinds' software, affecting 18,000 customers and leading to the compromise of sensitive information. The breach is considered one of the biggest in a decade and will require extensive forensic investigation and rebuilding of security infrastructure. The incident highlights the need for increased cybersecurity measures and the demand for skilled professionals in the field.

Topic 2:
School districts in the US are purchasing mobile device forensics technology to search students' phones without a warrant, raising concerns about privacy and potential misuse. The Supreme Court ruled in New Jersey v. TLO that schools can search students' phones without a warrant if they have reasonable belief of a law or policy violation. However, this raises questions about the extent of privacy rights for students and the potential for targeting certain groups.
