[CPRadio] War on All Fronts: Rampant Kitten Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

A man goes on Dubai T.V to discuss national security in the Middle East. 1,000 miles north, a social activist uses Telegram to organize anti-government activity. 5,000 miles north, an immigrant applies for a driver's license in Sweden. None of these people know one another, but they're all about to fall victim to the same attack. An attack that changes the way we view one of the world's biggest powers.

[CPRadio] SIGRED: Hijacking Microsoft Windows Server Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

DNS is the phone book of the internet--it's how your computer knows where to go to reach the website you want to visit. It's no stretch to say that, without functioning DNS, the internet as we know it could not exist. So imagine what would happen if you could completely compromise it..

[CPRadio] Alexa What's Going On? Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

Most people place their virtual assistants in their living room or bedroom. This makes it very easy to interact with cyberspace while you're laying around, watching T.V., or doing dishes. It also means that you're allowing a listening device into the most sensitive spaces in your home. What if somebody were able to take control of that device? To make commands on your behalf, interact with your personal data, and listen to you when you don't realize it?

[CPRadio] Instagram: The Problem With Open-Source Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

When Gal Elbaz came across a modest GIF parser sitting in a remote corner of GitHub, he wasn't exactly looking for trouble. But he found it. What was so troublesome about this parser in particular? It wasn't popular, it was created by some unknown programmer, and it didn't have any extraordinary qualities. Except it was familiar. Gal had seen this code before...

[CPRadio] TikTok and the Cybersecurity Challenge Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

Major tech companies understand that their brands are only as strong as they are safe to use, so they set bounties on vulnerabilities: hundreds of thousands of dollars, a million dollars, to any programmer who can find a hole in their sites. White hat hackers comb every line of code to try and earn the grand prize, and in return, the companies gain peace of mind knowing the smartest minds out there can’t break in.
You might think, then: if so much money goes towards securing these platforms, they must be unbreakable. But you’d be surprised what’s out there.
In the next few episodes of CPRadio, we're going to run through--step by step--how to hack some of the world's biggest apps. We begin, here, with Tik Tok.

[CPRadio] Operation Tripoli Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

In 2015, Khalifa Haftar--a fierce military general, known as "Libya's most potent warlord"--began an operation to take over the state of Libya. He led an insurgent army, slowly taking over the country's southern lands, headed straight for the capital of Tripoli. All the while, 'Khalifa Haftar' on Facebook was publishing updates about the war, even top-secret documents, to thousands of fans.
Why was one of the world's most significant military leaders posting classified documents to Facebook? He wasn't, of course. But what was actually going on was just as strange.

[CPRadio] Million Dollar Fraud Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

A new kind of man-in-the-middle attack is emerging, and it may just be the most lucrative method of hacking ever conceived.

[CPRadio] Coronavirus: Fear in Cybersecurity Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

The first publicized case of Ccoronavirus in the United States occurred in late February, 2020. Almost immediately, a different spread began: hackers, leveraging the global panic to spread new kinds of malicious cyber threats. Whether the new, COVID-related malware succeeded would depend on one question: does fear and uncertainty make us more hackable?

[CPRadio] Phishing in Canada May 14, 2020

Show notes

Phishing is the oldest trick in the book—we're all familiar with it by now. Yet for the past few years, Canadian companies had been falling victim to an ordinary phishing campaign. What made this threat different?

[CPRadio] Eye on the Nile Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

It began with a "Google" security email. But the trail of breadcrumbs traced back to something much, much bigger: a laser-targeted hacking campaign that put its targets' lives in danger.
