Cyber Chaos 2025: From Airline Breaches to AI Blunders and Ransomware’s Comeback
Description
In this episode of the Security Squawk Podcast, Bryan Hornung, Randy Bryan, and Reginald Andre dissect three headline-making cybersecurity incidents that highlight how threats keep evolving—just in different directions. Randy kicks things off with WestJet's massive data breach, where over 1.2 million customers had their information exposed, showing how even major airlines struggle with protecting sensitive data in 2025. Andre dives into a shocking story out of Australia—the NSW government accidentally uploading flood victims' personal data to ChatGPT, revealing how AI misuse and data mishandling can turn into a privacy nightmare overnight. Bryan closes with the latest findings showing ransomware attacks are rising again—just as fewer companies renew their cyber insurance policies, setting up the perfect storm for costly business disruptions. The team breaks down what these stories mean for business owners, from growing AI data risks to the real cost of skipping cybersecurity insurance. Expect practical takeaways, sharp insights, and a few laughs along the way as the guys decode what's really happening behind the headlines. ️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
