PODCAST: Don’t let AI control your bank account, Qilin hackers target Australia, and law enforcement strikes back!

Australians may soon be able to link their banking details directly with platforms like OpenAI, but is that wise? Croft has recently uncovered a stellar example of why you may want to think twice before clicking “Yes”.

The pair have been investigating a trio of Qilin ransomware attacks this week, and the victims are all investigating the hackers’ claims – but Qilin is acting very strange and not sharing any details of the hacks themselves. Hollingworth and Croft have some suspicions, making this a threat intelligence assessment not to miss.

The podcast closes out with a week of law enforcement wins, with cyber criminals both abroad and at home getting their just deserts. You love to see it.

Just another week in cyber security.

Enjoy,
The Cyber Uncut team
