Big Retail Cyber Attack: Amazon’s AI Offensive & the Google AI Opt‑Out Illusion


Listen Later

In this 30‑minute episode, Jon and Lewis unpick the coordinated ransomware wave that struck Britain’s high‑street giants. They trace the attack chain that emptied Co‑op shelves, froze M&S online orders and attempted, but failed, to extort Harrods.

Lewis takes a look at Amazon’s latest generative‑AI arsenal: Amazon Q’s new developer‑first agents, the multimodal Nova Premier family running on Bedrock, and AWS’s landmark decision to let any SaaS vendor list in Marketplace regardless of where the software runs, a direct play to become the app store for the whole cloud economy. 

Finally, they ask whether enterprises can really keep their data out of Google’s AI engines.
