In this eye-opening episode of the TOSS C3 Podcast, Greg Hanna, cybersecurity expert and CEO of TOSS C3, pulls back the curtain on one of the most dangerous — yet least talked about — threats in the IT space: RMM Abuse.

RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) tools are designed to help IT teams manage systems efficiently — but in the wrong hands, they become a hacker’s best friend. Greg explains how threat actors and even insiders can exploit RMM software to infiltrate, surveil, and control networks without detection.

Whether you're a CEO, CIO, IT professional, or a business owner who relies on managed service providers, this episode will help you understand the risks, identify vulnerabilities, and take proactive steps to protect your organization.

• What is RMM and why it's a double-edged sword

• Real-life examples of RMM abuse and how companies were compromised

• How cybercriminals weaponize RMM tools like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and ConnectWise

• Red flags to watch for in your IT environment

• Why MSPs (Managed Service Providers) are frequent targets — or even unknowing accomplices

• Steps to audit and harden your RMM setup

• Greg’s expert advice on zero-trust strategies and insider threat mitigation

• The importance of continuous threat detection and monitoring your own IT team

"RMM tools are like skeleton keys — if you don’t control who’s holding them, you’re inviting the enemy into your digital fortress."

1. Audit your existing RMM tools – Know what’s installed, who has access, and how it’s being used.

2. Ask your MSP the hard questions – What safeguards are in place to prevent unauthorized use?

3. Implement multi-factor authentication on all RMM-related access points.

4. Educate your executive team about the potential risks tied to RMM misuse.

5. Book a cybersecurity assessment with TOSS C3 to evaluate your RMM and endpoint security posture.

🎙️ The Toss C3 Podcast is back with Greg Hanna, founder of Toss C3, and host Neil Haley discussing the Netflix thriller "Leave the World Behind"—a cyberattack-fueled apocalyptic nightmare that may be closer to reality than we think.

🎬 "Leave the World Behind"—A Cybersecurity Horror Story

• The #1 Netflix movie starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon delivers a terrifyingly real depiction of a cyber attack on the U.S.
• Hackers disable communication networks, power grids, and GPS systems, causing total chaos.
• Autonomous vehicles (like Teslas) are remotely hijacked, blocking highways and causing mass destruction.
• Planes crash, oil freighters get stranded, and anarchy sets in within hours.

💥 Could This Really Happen? Cybersecurity Experts Say YES!

• Infrastructure cyberattacks are a real-world threat—recently, a water facility outside of Pittsburgh was hacked.
• Power plants, transportation, and communication systems are all vulnerable to cyber warfare.
• 72 hours from anarchy—once a cyberattack disables critical infrastructure, panic sets in fast.

⚠️ Biggest Cybersecurity Threats Today:
✅ Hacking power grids—a coordinated attack could plunge entire cities into darkness.
✅ Tampering with water supplies—cybercriminals have already attempted this in the U.S.
✅ Disrupting GPS & air traffic control—planes could literally fall from the sky.
✅ Autonomous vehicle hacks—as seen in the movie, self-driving cars could be turned into roadblocks.

🚨 Why Every Business & Government Must Take Cybersecurity Seriously

• Hollywood often predicts the future—this movie isn't just fiction; it’s a warning.
• Cyberattacks on national infrastructure are inevitable unless governments take proactive action.
• Greg Hanna for Cybersecurity Director 2024?—Neil Haley says it first: Greg should be heading to the White House to prevent this from happening!

🔒 How to Protect Yourself & Your Business:
✅ Invest in strong cybersecurity defenses—don’t wait until it’s too late.
✅ Train employees & citizens on cyber hygiene—most attacks happen due to human error.
✅ Prepare for emergencies—backup power, offline communication methods, and cybersecurity contingency plans are a must.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

🎙️ The Toss C3 Podcast is back with Greg Hanna, founder of Toss C3, and host Neil Haley discussing one of the biggest Android security threats today—the SpyNote banking Trojan. This malware records calls, steals personal data, and spreads through phishing links.

🚨 Beware of SpyNote: A Dangerous Android Trojan

• SpyNote is a sophisticated banking Trojan that can record phone calls, steal audio, and gather sensitive data.
• Hackers spread it through SMS phishing campaigns, fake emergency alerts, and malicious apps downloaded outside the Play Store.
• Attackers can listen in real-time and gain access to banking details, passwords, and personal conversations.

⚠️ How SpyNote Spreads:

• Fake text messages & phishing emails trick users into clicking malicious links.
• Fake emergency alerts—recently used in Italy to deceive visitors.
• Malicious apps disguised as legit software, including games and screen savers.
• Search engine scams—malicious sites mimic real websites to steal login credentials.

🔒 How to Protect Yourself & Your Business:
✅ Never click on unknown links in texts or emails.
✅ Only download apps from the official Play Store or App Store.
✅ Manually type website URLs instead of clicking links in search results.
✅ Deny unnecessary app permissions, especially access to background activity.
✅ Regularly update your device’s security software.

🛑 Biggest Business Risk? Employees Bringing Hacked Phones to Work

• If just one employee downloads SpyNote, it can record confidential business conversations.
• This is especially dangerous for law firms, healthcare providers, and financial institutions.
• Companies must train employees on cybersecurity awareness and implement strict security policies.
