Imagine the names, job functions, email addresses and phone numbers of police officers, DAs, and even critical key witnesses being hacked and leaked to the public. This isn’t the opening to some spy novel – it’s what actually happened when the Dutch Law Enforcement suffered a serious data breach in September of this year. Initially reported as a breach ‘only’ involving personal data of 65.000 law enforcement employees, it later became clear that much more data was leaked - and not just data from law enforcement personnel. In this Deep Dive, host Lieuwe Jan Koning, Security Expert Jeroen Scheerder and Field CTO Rob Maas take an in-depth look at how this breach unfolded, the poor security track record of the software that was used and what the Dutch Law Enforcement could’ve done better when it comes to handling the publicity of a data breach. 👉Best way to support the channel: give us a like! 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms. ► YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@ThreatTalks ► SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SXUyUEndOeKYREvlAeD7E ► APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/threat-talks-your-gateway-to-cybersecurity-insights/id1725776520 👕 Receive your Threat Talks T-shirt 👕 https://threat-talks.com/prevent-pay-or-insure/ 🗺️ Explore the Hack's Route in Detail 🗺️ https://on2it.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Threat-Talks-Prevent-Pay-or-Insure.pdf 🕵️ Threat Talks is a collaboration between ON2IT and AMS-IX

💰Prevent, Pay or Insure? 💰 Days before MGM’s computer systems were taken down in a cyberattack, fellow casino operator Caesars paid a $15 million ransom to attackers who infiltrated its systems. MGM chose not to pay and dealt with different costs because of it - did the two casino giants wind up paying similar amounts down the line? And what role does cybersecurity insurance play in these scenarios? In this episode of Threat Talks, host Lieuwe Jan Koning and special guest David Hake (co-founder of Resilience, professor of Cyber Risk Management at UC Berkeley and advisor at Venable LLP) discuss these cyberattacks on MGM and Caesars, exploring how organizations can better prepare for and respond to ransomware incidents. Dialing in to the conversation, Threat Intel Specialist Luca Cipriano offers a preview of our Deep Dives into three critical threats relevant to these attacks, providing valuable technical insights. The by now age-old dilemma remains: should companies pay ransom or refuse? But beyond that, how can they focus on prevention? And where does cybersecurity insurance fit into the equation? If businesses insure their personnel, facilities, and revenue, isn’t it time to also insure their cybersecurity? 🔔 Follow and Support our channel! 🔔 === ► YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@ThreatTalks ► SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SXUyUEndOeKYREvlAeD7E ► APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/threat-talks-your-gateway-to-cybersecurity-insights/id1725776520 👕 Receive your Threat Talks T-shirt 👕 https://threat-talks.com/prevent-pay-or-insure/ 🗺️ Explore the Hack's Route in Detail 🗺️https://on2it.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Threat-Talks-Prevent-Pay-or-Insure.pdf 🕵️ Threat Talks is a collaboration between ON2IT and AMS-IX

⏰ How much time would you spend on executing the perfect hack? ⏰   The user going by the name of ‘JIAT75’ spent almost three years infiltrating and contributing to a GitHub repo for one singular reason – access to release manager rights for the next XZ Utils update. In this episode of Threat Talks, host Lieuwe Jan Koning is joined by Thomas Manolis, Information Security Officer at AMS-IX, and Jeroen Scheerder, Security Specialist at ON2IT, to discuss this meticulously executed breach in the open-source community.   Using clever social engineering tactics, Jia Tan (JIAT75) built a credible reputation within said community, gaining trust and access to introduce malicious code undetected. The breach was only discovered by chance when Andres Freund, an engineer at Microsoft, traced unusual system latency back to XZ Utils and uncovered the backdoor.   What exactly happened? How lucky did we get with Freund discovering the backdoor?

AIS (Advanced Identification System) is a key tool in maritime navigation. It helps ships transmit their location and data to other vessels and satellites, preventing collisions and supporting rescue operations. 🛟 It’s a crucial technology for navigating 🗺️ the unpredictable oceans 🌊 —but it’s not without its vulnerabilities. 🏴‍☠️ Pirates can use AIS to track high-value ships, and hackers can manipulate the system. Picture this: your ship is safely docked, but hackers make it appear as if it’s entering dangerous, hostile waters. This tactic, known as spoofing, doesn’t just mess with a ship’s navigation—it can send out false reports to military or civilian observers, creating chaos and confusion. Just imagine the stakes in a situation with rising military tension – if it suddenly seems like your warships are showing up in enemy harbors, the risk of conflict skyrockets, to say the least. 🔥 In this Deep Dive, host Lieuwe Jan Koning, along with guests Rob Maas and Jeroen Scheerder, explore the potential dangers of AIS hacking and what steps can be taken to make this vital system more secure and trustworthy for the future. === 📈 Find our infographics and 👕 receive your own Threat Talks T-shirt: https://threat-talks.com 🕵️ Threat Talks is a collaboration between ON2IT and AMS-IX
