Description

This week on The Awareness Angle, Ant Davis and Luke Pettigrew unpack a packed lineup of real-world cybersecurity stories — from paper-based recovery plans to AI data leaks, healthcare ransoms, and the human messiness behind governance and awareness. It’s all about what happens when the systems fail, the people improvise, and resilience gets real.

📄 Paper Plans & Power Cuts – The NCSC urges organisations to keep printed incident plans. The hosts ask the hard question: how do you “open your playbook” if it’s been ransomwared?

☁️ Cloud “Whoopsie” of the Week – A misconfigured “Invoicedly” S3 bucket leaks sensitive financial data. Simple mistakes, big consequences.

🤖 Shadow AI at Work – 77% of employees reportedly paste company data into ChatGPT. Culture or control — what’s the real fix?

🏥 Healthcare Ransomware Ethics – X-rays and ECGs leaked online reignite debate over whether private healthcare firms should ever pay.

📬 Court-Themed Phishing – Fake legal summonses using SVG attachments show how scammers are levelling up in realism.

💬 Discord Support Leak Confusion – Government IDs appear in a third-party breach; finger-pointing follows. Who’s really accountable?

💸 Capita’s £14M Lesson – The ICO fine lands, proving that prevention costs less than penalties. A nod to burnt-out IR teams who rarely get a break.

🧠 F5 Networks Intrusion – Nation-state attackers lurked for months before discovery. The takeaway? Patch, disclose, repeat.

📉 Deloitte’s $440K AI Blunder – A government report filled with hallucinated citations — proof that even consultants need a human review step.

🧩 Awareness Corner – Ant previews his HuFiCon talk in Cologne and shares Layer8’s open research on what makes security champions work.
