AI threats, API key leaks, and social engineering scams—this episode of The Awareness Angle unpacks the latest cybersecurity challenges and what they mean for businesses and individuals alike. We explain how attackers use generative AI to refine phishing scams, the rising danger of DDoS attacks, and why API security is becoming a critical concern. With enterprises rapidly adopting AI, are security strategies keeping up?
We also dive into the personal side of cybersecurity, exploring how good security habits at home translate to stronger protection at work. A real-world Facebook scam case study highlights key red flags to watch for while discussing border security and digital privacy and offers practical advice for travellers. To wrap up, we react to a wild story of someone travelling 6,000 miles using "Find My Device" to track down their lost AirPods!
