Listen Later

This episode covers three critical cybersecurity developments affecting healthcare organizations. First, FBI warnings about Scattered Spider ransomware group targeting employees through Slack and Microsoft Teams, including their alarming tactic of creating fake identities to join incident response calls and monitor remediation efforts. Second, leaked chat logs from the Conti ransomware group reveal these criminal organizations operate like structured tech startups with HR policies, management layers, and performance reviews - highlighting the sophisticated nature of modern cyber threats. Finally, CrowdStrike intelligence reveals over 900 North Korean operatives have quietly embedded themselves in US companies using deepfakes and fake identities, wiring paychecks back to the regime. The episode also mentions CISA's new free Thorium tool for malware analysis and forensic investigations.
