Joe Uchill, senior reporter at SC Magazine, joins us on the podcast this week to share perspective from his ongoing reporting on the cyber implications from the Ukraine conflict. We cover a bevy of themes including the level of cyber versus kinetic attacks, the "IT Army" of Ukraine and impact of decentralized hacking volunteers, Conti ransomware group woes and the globalism of the criminal economy, CISA Shields Up guidance and navigating through opportunistic criminals that invariably take advantage of a crisis. And he explains the Evel Knievel School of Storytelling approach.
