Welcome to the first Cyber Security Brief of 2022! In this week’s podcast, Dick O’Brien and Brigid O Gorman chat about some of the biggest news stories of the last couple of weeks. The topics up for discussion in this episode include: FIN7 BadUSB attacks return, an interesting new multi-platform backdoor, and the latest way attackers are attempting to abuse Google Docs. Also, a jump in the number of extortion DDoS attacks, how payments to suspicious cryptocurrency wallets have exploded in recent months, corruption of open source libraries as a form of protest, and how one APT group managed to infect itself with its own malware.
