Risky Bulletin: Cyberattack disrupts Bridgestone tyre factories across North America

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about Google starting a cyber disruption unit. It’s a sign of the times but could also point the way forward for policymakers looking to involve the private sector in government-endorsed efforts to strike back in cyberspace.

They also talk about cyber security authorities from 13 different countries pegging Salt Typhoon to three Chinese companies. That’s a lot of countries, but Tom wonders whether attribution is just viewed as a cost of doing business for the Chinese government.

And it turns out that Apple’s dispute with the UK government about encrypted iCloud data has not yet been resolved, despite media reports to the contrary.

Risky Bulletin: npm attack uses AI prompts to steal creds, crypto-wallet keys

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about proposed legislation that would allow the President to license private sector hackers to go after cybercrime groups. The bill won’t pass, but letting hackers loose on industrial-scale scam farms actually makes sense.

They also talk about Microsoft’s blind spot regarding China. It has trusted China-based engineers with sensitive work, and is now only just realising that China’s security interests are not compatible with Microsoft’s.
