In this eye-opening episode of the DTF Cyber Podcast, hosts Damian, Troy, and Fern tackle the theme of trust in cybersecurity. From external hackers spoofing CEOs in Microsoft Teams to incident response firms secretly double-dipping in ransomware negotiations, and a shocking $106M heist at the Louvre enabled by the password “louvre,” the crew explores real-world threats and defenses. Plus, tips on security training, OSINT risks, mental health in cyber, and protecting against title fraud.

Whether you’re in security or just curious, this episode reminds us: trust but verify—or pay the price.
