Relative Return Insider: The business of cyber criminals
In this episode of Relative Return Insider, host Keith Ford is joined by Cyber Daily deputy editor David Hollingworth to take you inside the evolving landscape of cyber crime, how even huge companies can be at risk of breaches, and what that means for anyone trying to understand the risks.
Hollingworth helps break down the way hacker collectives create believable personas to trick employees into granting remote access, allowing them to move laterally within networks and exfiltrate data, and the different business models these cyber criminals employ.
Tune in to hear:
- Why tailored ransom demands and the dark web ecosystem of services like ransomware-as-a-service are on the rise.
- Case studies of recent cyber attacks, including the Qantas data breach, and the importance of rapid and transparent incident response.
- The concept of third-party risk and the legal implications for companies, as highlighted by ASIC’s lawsuit against Fortnum Private Wealth.
