Listen in, as Jenny and Brett chat about how he got started in cybercrime, his time on the run,  and eventually being caught and sent to prison. They discuss his experiences inside and how he has taken responsibility for his actions and is on a mission to educate us all about cybercrime!

Joined by a handful of usual suspects—Diana, Chris, Rick, Gabe, and Scott—Sean and I kick-started the wondrous apparatus and went back in time 180 years; all the way back to 1840. Then, we got back into it, and we quad-kicked the propeller, and we jumped ahead, double that number; all the way forward to 2200.

Yes, because that is how it works. If you want to go into the future, you must first take a trip back to the past.

On today’s show, we have a number of special guests stopping by during two separate sessions. We always believe, the more the merrier. We're glad you decided to drop by to have a listen—or perhaps even a gander—as we all tell some stories, have a few laughs, and wish you and the entire InfoSec community (and beyond) a very merry and happy holiday season with a healthy and prosperous new year to follow.

When the holiday season comes around, pretty much every thought turns to those things that make this time of the year so special: gathering with family and friends, gift-giving and receiving, food and beverage consumption, and most likely some time away from the office. This is the personal view of the holidays. Of course, there’s another side to this coin—the side that makes all of that happen: the businesses that supply food, beverage, gifts, and services… and the time off for their employees to enjoy the holidays.

We have many conversations with InfoSec professionals from around the world and often we hear about how important it is to raise awareness for our employees—not only at work but also at home. During these conversations, there seems to be a common theme that continues to surface: if the employees take cybersecurity seriously at home—making it important to protect themselves and their families—then that learning will “stick” better when they come back into the office.

The team at CyberIreland invited ITSPmagazine to join them for a joint event with Ireland Israel Business. During the event, Jacky Fox, Managing Director and Security Lead at Accenture Ireland and Vice Chair for Cyber Ireland, moderated a panel covering many aspects of cybersecurity in Ireland and in collaboration with Israel.

Ultimately, we get into the complicated discussion about what Ireland's cyber responsibilities are in the European and Global economies, given the country's drive to be the central hub for European technologies and push to draw multinationals from the US and beyond. It's a quick listen, but one worth popping on a set of earphones.

Deep fakes, fake news, surveillance, facial recognition, privacy, breach fatigue, massive data collection, anti-surveillance trends and products, education, social engineering, and so much more - even fashion. A lot of fashion talk on this podcast. Maybe. Maybe not.

Everyone loves the conveniences, but most of us have no idea how these things work nor what they are doing behind the scenes. Nevertheless, we are in this Internet of Things (IoT) system 24/7; grandma and grandpa are on it, so are the teenagers, and even the very young kids have connected tablets these days. Meanwhile, nobody knows much about it.

Wolfgang is a cyber security strategist, who has an immense depth of experience which he likes to share with his Stuck In Traffic video series. Jenny and The Wolf talk about how he got started in the industry, they explore how the attack vectors and their sophistication have changed over time.
