We've turned 50, as in 50 episodes old, yet cybersecurity hasn't aged a day since we started. Ok, maybe that's not true. We take a look back over our half a hundred's worth of podcasts, spotlighting some top clips, and seeing where things stand with them now. Highlights include a pre-pandemic prediction of work from home security issues, our first covid-19 Pod from Home, an update on diversity issues in cybersecurity careers, an update on ransomware relating to hospitals and beyond, and a check-in on cyber policy under President Biden. Plus we throw in a little Christmas in July clip to warm your hearts.In headlines, we discuss a scam targeting ecommerce stores involving fraudulent returns, a trove of spyware data connected to an Israeli firm, and China called out for the recent Microsoft Exchange hack.See the stories:Return Scams Jump as Fraudsters Exploit E-commerce Boomhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/return-scams-jump-as-fraudsters-exploit-e-commerce-boom-11626168601?mod=e2tw Leaked NSO Group Data Hints at Widespread Pegasus Spyware Infectionshttps://threatpost.com/nso-group-data-pegasus/167897/U.S. and global allies blame China for widespread cybercrime, including massive Microsoft Exchange hackhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-global-allies-blame-china-microsoft-exchange-hack-cybercrime/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=124666975Find the latest from us on our blog https://firewalls.com/blog.
