Fighting the Water Hackers - #193

What if the next cyberattack doesn’t just steal your data—but turns off your water, power, or access to healthcare?In this eye-opening episode, Josh Corman (I Am The Cavalry Dot Org) returns to unpack a rapidly evolving threat landscape where cyberattacks are no longer just about information theft—they’re about real-world disruption and destruction. From nation-state actors pre-positioning inside critical infrastructure to the chilling reality of “digital time bombs” lying dormant in water and power systems, Josh explains why the rules of cybersecurity are changing—and why we’re not ready.The conversation dives into the rise of campaigns like Volt Typhoon, the strategic implications of a potential Taiwan conflict, and how adversaries are targeting civilian infrastructure to sow chaos and weaken response efforts. Josh also shares insights from his “Undisruptable 27” initiative, focused on protecting the most critical lifeline systems before it’s too late.But this isn’t just about global conflict—it’s personal. Listeners will walk away with practical steps to protect their households, challenge assumptions about resilience and insurance, and rethink what preparedness really means in a world where cyber and physical risks collide.This is a candid, sobering, and essential discussion on the future of cyber warfare—and what you can do about it today.Relevant links:I Am the Cavalry Dot OrgUndisruptable27Institute for Security and TechnologyUnrestricted Warfare - China's Master Plan to Destroy America As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via [email protected]
