Episode 45: DarkSide Pipeline Cyber Attack & More News
The cyber world crosses into the real world in the week’s top story – as a ransomware attack attributed to DarkSide shuts down the Colonial Pipeline. We take a deep dive into the latest high profile cyber attack which severely affected the gas supply up and down the east coast. Hear what the White House is doing about it, how Russia may or may not be involved, and why attacks like this could be just the beginning.
In other headlines, we learn about new IoT (internet of things) vulnerabilities discovered by Microsoft. And finally, a coronavirus-themed phishing test gone horribly wrong for a UK train company.
