Description
On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, money is a big theme! We discuss a series of heists on banks in Eastern Europe that sound like something out of a Hollywood movie, a rise in the money lost to so-called “grandparent scams”, a crackdown by cops on money mules operating throughout Europe, and a new twist to the sextortion email scams we have previously discussed on this podcast. Also this week, we chat about new research Symantec has just published into the Seedworm group (aka Muddywater), which has hit more than 130 victims in 30 organisations since September 2018.
