Show Notes

What does cyberwarfare really look like behind the headlines? This week, Roo sits down with Hayley Benedict, a cyber intelligence analyst at RANE, to explore the evolving world of digital conflict. From hacktivists to disinformation specialists, Hayley shares how nation states, criminals, and ideologically driven groups are blurring lines — and why data theft, disruption, and doubt remain the weapons of choice. 🎙️🛰️

In Crash Course, we cut through some industry jargon to explain Zero Trust: never assume, always verify. And in Watchtower Weekly, ransomware gets a 2025 upgrade. We cover LunaLock’s dystopian AI threats against artists, bargain-bin ransoms disrupting Swedish municipalities, and a UK car line halted by a hacker crew mash-up.

Plus, #Ask1Password tackles 1Password vs. Apple Passwords, and Hack or Hoax?! brings another almost-too-believable tale. 🧠🕵️‍♂️📺
