You've seen it in the headlines—the ongoing crisis of cyberattacks threatening our hospitals, corporations and even law enforcement agencies. Sami Khoury from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) joins us to discuss how the rapid digital transformation triggered by the pandemic has opened new doors for hackers. Later in the episode, we're joined by award-winning journalist Joseph Cox (404 Media) to discuss the broader implications of data privacy in the digital age. 

Host Takara Small also sheds light on the shadowy, high stakes world of ransomware negotiations and the unexpected targets of these attacks—like libraries and zoos—that fall victim due to overlooked vulnerabilities. 

We close out the episode by sharing ways to improve your personal cybersecurity and recognize the shared duty we all have in safeguarding our digital identities.
