One of the largest casino chains in Las Vegas, MGM Grand, became paralysed after they were hit by a ransomware attack in September 2023. The bustling casino floor was unrecognisable as casino slot machines, hotels, restaurants and more were disconnected for allegedly 10 days in one of the biggest cyber attacks of our time. Who was responsible? How did they do it? Did cyber criminals really tell a $33.9 trillion dollar company to “grow a pair” and pay them? Tune in to this episode to find out.
GTC’s new segment, Cyber Scandal, looks to unpack cyber hacks and untangle any tech jargon surrounding them so you can lean in and understand these stranger than fictions stories with little to no prior cyber security knowledge. We hope you enjoy this new segment as much as we do!

So cyber, does it involve the mysterious bunkers just like the movies? Well, not quite.. But defensive cyber does share some similarities.
In this episode you can expect to hear a breakdown of what defensive cyber actually is and what it looks like in the real world. We shine a light on our unsung, defensive cyber security heroes and professionals and chat about what they can get up to on the daily, as well as bringing it back to what’s relevant for you, and learning some hot tips on how you can boost your own cyber defences.
We jump back to one of our favourite segments, The Fraud Files, and check out an online shopping scam sent-in from a listener and discuss what you can learn from the situation.

Today we are joined by an expert in cyber security, Shireen Syed, the University of Newcastle’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Shireen’s job is to not only help secure students and teachers but so many elements in between including cyber security strategy and incident response. Shireen gives us a rundown of what her day-to-day looks like, what is expected of her in her role as CISO and walks us through her career path leading up to this position.
We learn about the unique challenges a university faces when securing their environment - with bespoke gadgets and intellectual property being developed, where do you start trying to secure these?
Finally, Shireen shares her perspective on how exciting the cyber security industry is and promotes how to get women interested and engaged in cyber. Shireen also gives our listeners some tips on staying safe online. We hope you enjoy!

What information about you resides on the internet today that anyone can access? In this episode we give you the tools to answer that question and walk you through the definition of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
We look at how it can benefit our lives and how it can also be used in a borderline creepy way. Jules and I also give you some tools to perform OSINT on yourself, and while it may be confronting to see a bunch of information about yourself strewn across the internet, we believe if the bad guys know it exists, you should too.
Finally with all this being said and done, we run you through some tips on how to protect your privacy whilst still existing in the online world.

Today we take you through the rumblings of a cyber attack. How does it start and what does it look like? By the end of the episode you’ll be able to identify and avoid cyber threats quicker than you can say GTC.
We also take a look at who is behind these cyber attacks. The type of people sitting behind a computer, pulling these attacks off, may surprise you.
From phishing to "J-elena" (Justin and Selena) references, this episode has everything you need to understand ransomware headlines and protect yourself from cyber attacks. Let’s redefine how you act online.
