Lawyers Weekly Podcast Network

The year that was in cyber security (and 2025 predictions)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, brought to you by our sister brand, Cyber Daily, we look back at some of the most notable cyber incidents from the past 12 months and look ahead to what can be expected in the new year. Hosts David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft discuss CrowdStrike’s outage and amazing response to the takedown of ransomware giant LockBit, reflect on the Change Healthcare hack, which saw the data of about a third of the population of the United States compromised, the behind-the-scenes maneuvering between greedy ransomware-as-a-service operators, hacker affiliates just wanting to get paid, and a company realising that it really does have to pay an exorbitant ransom.

The pair also discuss the takedown of ransomware giant LockBit and the remarkably sassy response of the law enforcement agencies behind the operation, look back at another ransomware operation that turned out to be nothing but an extensive scam, and reflect on July’s CrowdStrike outage, both its wide-ranging impact and what turned out to be an excellent and comprehensive response from CrowdStrike itself, before turning the gaze forward to wonder what they might see in 2025.
