- How to ‘level up’ ransomware protection and the curious case of the $54,000 ransom
On this week’s Phishy Business, we’re joined by Bruce McCully, Chief Security Officer at Galactic Advisors, cyber security consultancy, and author of multiple books. We discuss the importance of story-telling in cyber security, why MSPs (Managed Service Providers) have a target on their backs when it comes to ransomware, the vital importance of having properly set up back-ups in place and how Bruce is achieving his goal of helping a million people.
In ‘How to ‘level up’ ransomware protection and the curious case of the $54,000 ransom’, we discuss:
- How storytelling when warning on the dangers of cyber threats is important
- No matter how small or ‘uninteresting’ you think your business is, it is a target for cyber criminals
- Why MSPs are particularly targeted when it comes to ransomware
- Why anyone would target hospitals in cyber attacks
- The, perhaps unsexy, but critical importance of having proper data back-ups in place

In this special episode, we speak to Rory Innes, founder of the cyber helpline, as well as Shane McCombs and Samantha Gamble from the Innocent Lives Foundation. We speak to them about the lack of support and understanding of online crime and how their organisations support victims and law enforcement services who are often not equipped to deal with cybercrimes.
In the second part of the podcast, we have a harrowing interview with a victim of cyber stalking and how The Cyber Helpline helped her get out of the dangerous situation she was in.
In this episode of Phishy Business, ‘From cyber stalking to online grooming, the real-world consequences of cybercrime’, we discuss:
- The lack of support and understanding of cybercrime from the mainstream law enforcement services and how charities are filling that gap
- The often-underestimated psychological trauma that cybercrime can cause
- Cybercrime should be looked at more than just as a financial loss

27 min - Escaping ‘Zoom fatigue’ – how to organise new ways of working effectively
A full day ahead of meetings looms on the horizon as you sip your morning coffee, a familiar scenario for most of us. The majority of these discussions will take place over some of the now ubiquitous video conferencing tools, like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. But are they really the best way to get work done? Would some of these meetings benefit from being in person, or over the phone, or through quick text messages? This is what our guest, Christoph Magnussen, is here to help us with in this episode. How best to work effectively? Christoph is a future-of-work expert and runs an agency that helps companies collaborate effectively.
In this episode of Phishy Business, we discuss:
- How leaders need to trust the process that work will happen
- The need for companies to trust collaboration tools, but work to keep them secure
- Why we need to, and enjoy, work as social creatures
- How rethinking the traditional office space could increase collaboration
- Why informal chats, and showing your vulnerability with colleagues is very important to form strong working relationships

Did you know it’s possible to be imprisoned on a database, but not in actual reality?
While the idea may seem strange, this is the case for thousands of people around the world, whether they know it or not.

It begs the question if anyone is truly safe from having their identity stolen. So, what lessons can we learn from these instances of misfortune? And how can we protect ourselves?
Luckily this week we have best-selling author and journalist Maria Genova here to help uncover some mysterious tales of identity theft. She is joined by Mimecast’s Dr Kiri Addison, our Head of Data Science for Threat Intelligence and Overwatch.
In the sixth episode of Phishy Business, Curious cases of identity theft with Maria Genova, we discuss:
- The inside track on Maria’s book Lady and the H@cker, including the time she opened up her own data to a convicted cybercriminal
- How easy it is to fall victim to ID thefts, and steps to protect yourself
