Upcoming this week...

1. Lots of News
2. Breaches
3. SCADA / Cyber, cyber... etc.
4. finishing it off with DERPs/Mailbag (or Deep Dive)
5. And there are weekly Briefs - no arguing or discussion allowed

And if you've got commentary, please sent it to [email protected] for us to check out.

DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of (approximately) 5 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.

In this episode:

• News and Commentary
1. Biden bans Kaspersky - effective July 20. FINALLY.
2. Stolen test data and NHS numbers published by hospital hackers Information is beautiful - World's Biggest Data Breaches & Hacks
• Breaches
1. The City of Hamilton breach continues. It's a farce. My property tax dollars going to no good purpose at all. Ongoing since Feb 25, no sign that they're any closer to getting the majority of systems up and running - and $5 million out of the door. Sigh. The number of systems remaining offline is incredible. I'm pretty sure I could put together a crack team of 5 who could spend evenings and weekends for less than a month to knock out all of this list without extending our recruiting pool past Hamilton and Burlington. Sheesh.
