The Cybersecurity Benefits of Desk Drawers

Episode 359 of the Cyberlaw Podcast

Brian Egan hosts this episode of the podcast, as Stewart Baker is hiking the wilds of New Hampshire with family. Nick Weaver joins the podcast to discuss the week in ransomware, as DOJ gets serious, and the gangs do too. Justice has a new ransomware task force,  and the gangs have asked  for $50 million not to disclose Apple product plans compromised during a breach of Quanta.

Paul Hughes gives us details on the EU's proposal for regulating the deployment of artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology. Brian compares the EU work to the FTC's own principles for achieving truth and fairness while using AI.

Nick finds a lot to like in Sen. Wyden's 'Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act,' which would ban Clearview and government purchases of location data without a warrant.

Brian summarizes the Biden administration's series of cyber initiatives for critical infrastructure sectors. Nick can't resist the high-grade trolling on display in the squabble between Signal and Cellebrite. Brian evaluates the administration's sanctions on Russia for, among other things, the SolarWinds hack.

And Nick covers the ultimate consumer supply chain attack ultimate consumer supply chain attack -- on password managers. Nick's advice: "Amateurs keep their passwords in their drawers. Pros keep their passwords in their wallets."

You lawyer are in total failure in the primary task of government, need to be crushed. Once we get rid of your stench, an app will trace the hacker. It will deploy a drone, and send a rocket into the location of the hacker, its friends, family, and neighbors. If these people do not want to hear the sound of a heat seeking missile outside their windows, kill the hacker first. Kill the hacker or forfeit your life. Wherever the ransom was supposed, it will kill the owner of the bank and all their family members, down to the last kitten.

The average bank robbery nets $4000 and is very dangerous. The average identity theft nets $5000 and is totally risk free thanks to this failed profession. Crime has updated. The lawyer profession has not updated.
