This episode is a Get CyBUr Smart special where I break down three cyber-related news stories of the week:
1) The Tesla Law Suit and how it differentiates a US company mishandling your data and a foreign-owned one doing so (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/04/tesla-sued-after-report-that-workers-shared-invasive-images-from-car-cameras/)
2) The FBI's Juice Jacking Warning. Here's a tip, use a "USB Condom" and practice safe charging (https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3942399-dont-use-public-phone-charging-stations-fbi/)
3) The Genesis Market Takedown by the FBI and International Partners. Good work, but I do throw some cold water on it... (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/criminal-marketplace-disrupted-international-cyber-operation)

The CyBUr Guy Podcast is back with a new(ish) format incorporating the Get CyBUr Smart podcast into it (take a listen, it will make sense). In this episode I interview Retired FBI Cyber SSA John Caruthers (and current EVP of the Triden Group) for a wide-ranging discussion that hits all the points you come to this podcast for.
The Get CyBUr Smart section is (again) a discussion of Tik Tok and the CEO's recent appearance in Congress.
