In this episode, Ryan and Shannon discuss the recent hacking of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the quick response to take affected systems offline. They highlight the importance of system upgrades and modernization to prevent such attacks. The conversation also touches on the reality of cyber attacks and the attribution of the attack to China. The hosts emphasize the need for funding and support to ensure the security of critical systems and applaud CISA's resilience and quick action.

Takeaways

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was hacked, but they reacted quickly and took affected systems offline.

Legacy systems and lack of updates made CISA vulnerable to the attack, highlighting the importance of system upgrades and modernization.

Cyber attacks are a reality, and organizations like CISA, which help prevent and respond to such attacks, often become targets.

The attribution of the attack to China raises geopolitical concerns and underscores the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
