Episode description

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant and Major General (Ret’d) Dr Marcus Thompson discuss how malicious actors are targeting Australian courts and how Australians can keep themselves safe from the threat of credential stuffing.

• The pair begin the podcast by unpacking the Commonwealth’s sanctions on the Medibank hacker and how Australian courts have been in the crosshairs of malicious actors.
• Tarrant and Dr Thompson then unpack the recently leaked package of 26 billion documents, collated from some of the world’s top brands, and how Australians can protect themselves from credential stuffing campaigns.
• They wrap up by examining the ethics of ransomware payments – even when the clean-up cost is greater than the cost of the ransom.
