In this episode of The Jerich Show, Erich Kron and Javvad Malik dive headfirst into the week’s most curious, cringeworthy, and critical cybersecurity stories.
First up: a global honeypot powered by over 5,300 compromised Cisco devices—courtesy of the ViciousTrap botnet. Then, it’s schadenfreude central as the developers of DanaBot malware accidentally infect themselves. Karma, meet keyboard.
We’ll also unpack Europol’s massive takedown of ransomware infrastructure, which led to the seizure of 300 servers and €3.5 million in crypto. Not to be outdone, two ATM heist suspects made their arrest even easier… by taking selfies mid-crime.
And finally, the UK’s NCSC shows us how to securely retire old tech—because tossing servers in the skip just isn’t secure policy.
Join Erich and Javvad for sharp takes, security snark, and the cybersecurity fails you’ll want to learn from (or at least laugh at).
