OpenAI under fire, WSU cyber attack update, and letters of marque for hackers

from Cyber Uncut · host Momentum Media

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft discuss a pair of lawsuits targeting ChatGPT's maker, cyber crime news, and one US politician's novel solution to combat hackers. Hollingworth and Croft kick things off by addressing a pair of lawsuits targeting OpenAI and the tragic case of a teenager who was allegedly aided in their suicide by ChatGPT's advice. The pair then catch up with the latest news: from a string of cyber attacks that targeted Western Sydney University to Google's warning of increased Iranian cyber attacks and a round-up of this week's local ransomware attacks targeting Aussie businesses. Hollingworth and Croft end the podcast discussing Australia's "right to disconnect" laws and the bold plan of one American politician to bring back the Age of Sail's letters of marque to recruit cyber privateers.
