November 06 The UNSTOPPABLE AI Hackers Are Here!
Today we’re talking about AI-powered cybercrime—a phrase that sounds like a marketing stunt but is, unfortunately, very real. Cybercriminals basically got a software update, and now they’re running their operations with more automation, more scale, and — let’s just say it — better customer service than half the vendors in your tech stack.

November 01 Why Cyber Attacks are Not All Equal
Have you ever wondered why cyber attacks are not all equal? Why some of the most significant data breaches in history didn't lead to your personal information being sold on the dark web? When Data Breaches Are Really Espionage?

Why did the stolen data from breaches like Anthem, Starwood/Marriott, OPM, and Equifax vanish into the ether, while other breaches see data auctioned off to the highest bidder?

Let's delve into these mysteries, each a tale of intrigue and unseen adversaries.

October 24The Disturbing Truth Behind the Elizabeth Holmes Case
This is story of how they caught Elizabeth Holmes and the rise and fall of THERANOS. From youngest female billionaire to convict.
The technology never worked as promised. Was her intent to hope that the tech would “catch up” to what they had promised investors and regulators? Or had Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes crossed the line of NO return when they unleashed their tech through clinics treating patients with incorrect and wildly inaccurate test results?
You can decide for yourself after hearing what unfolds.
Takeaways
The rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is a cautionary tale about overselling and the dangers of lacking transparency in the tech industry.
Investors should be cautious about investing in companies that refuse to provide audited financial statements and technical verifications.
The case highlights the need for regulation and scrutiny in the healthcare industry, especially when it comes to medical testing and patient care.
The story of Theranos serves as a reminder that data-driven decision-making and scientific validation are crucial in the development and implementation of new technologies.

October 23 Moving Target Interview. The TRUE COST of being ONLINE (It’s NOT What You Think)
Most business owners think they're too small to be a target. They're not being targeted — they're being selected.

Tables get turned. Host interviews David Dean Mauro about his true-crime cybersecurity trilogy The Moving Target — a book series about online camouflage, small business cyber risk, and the real cost of being visible online.

Built from 400+ investigative interviews with cyber leaders, business owners, and criminal hackers, the trilogy follows Stevie Parker: competent, careful, busy — and breached anyway. No acronyms. No lecture. No IT background required.

WHAT WE COVER:
• Why "I'm too small to target" is the most expensive assumption in business
• Selected vs. targeted — how criminal crews actually pick victims
• Shadow AI: the risk sitting on every employee's phone (we unlock ours 260+ times a day)
• How much criminals already know about you, your bank, and your kids
• Inside a ransomware operation: quotas, shift changes, HR, healthcare, a board of directors
• The bear and the shark — why defense in depth beats perfect security
• Social engineering, plain English: they don't hack systems, they hack people
• Who really pays after a breach (hint: it's not the brand in the headline)

Fewer than 4% of cybercriminals look anything like the hoodie in the basement. Cybercrime is organized crime with an org chart.
