Episode 4

Mitch and Levi break down the month's biggest cybersecurity stories, with a spotlight on a well-handled third-party breach at Quonus, which exposed tax-related data for many Australians; the hosts praise the company for its transparent, proactive, and timely communication—calling it a "gold standard" in crisis response that contrasts sharply with past Australian failures like Optus and Medibank. They then slam a major ransomware attack on global IT distributor Ingram Micro, criticising its delayed admission (five days of radio silence, with details leaking via Reddit) and poor ongoing updates, which amplified panic and speculation while causing huge daily revenue losses. The pair stresses the growing threat of supply chain attacks in 2025, offers practical advice on vendor due diligence, mandating cyber insurance in contracts, building a "security-first" culture where staff feel safe reporting issues without fear, and the importance of clear incident communication plans with regular updates.
