from Defence & Security Podcast Network · host Momentum Media

This episode discusses the US Department of War's AI "Manifest Destiny", hackers going hard on Aussie victims, and Australia bringing in its brand new social media ban. Hosts David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft kick things off with artificial intelligence, with CommBank trialling a new DevOps agent and the Pentagon launching its new GenAI.mil platform to "dominate" its adversaries. The pair move on to cyber crime, and the SafePay ransomware gang strikes at three Australian victims in a single week. Hollingworth and Croft also discuss the social media ban, which came into effect this week. Finally, the pair look at the Privacy Commissioner's new compliance crusade and a warning that scammers are posing as charities this Christmas season. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team
