In this episode, Si and Desi talk to Matt Suiche from Magnet Forensics about the rise of e-crime and info stealers.

They look at the latest shifts in how cybercriminals are operating, with a lot of ransomware gangs now moving towards hacking, stealing, extortion and leaking documents, rather than blindly encrypting files.

They also examine the importance of memory forensics in trying to detect active threats within a network, and how ChatGPT – a chatbot launched by OpenAI in November last year – could be leveraged to create functioning malware.

Pick the scenario. You have to prove or disprove something and your proof is in a phone. What to do? In this scenario, the phone is unlocked, and you must determine what methods of data extraction to employ. Will you use the Full File System extraction or go with the APK Downgrade method or maybe an Android Physical extraction exploit? If you have limited time then the Android OxyAgent approach might be best. This live webinar demonstrates leveraging multiple extraction technologies against an Android device using Oxygen Forensic® Device Extractor.

Just like your current holiday shopping for last minute presents a lot of the good stuff has gone off the shelves already. You reach to the back and find the toy nobody really wanted but it’s the thought that counts, you stare down at Si and Desi’s Holiday Special 2022 podcast.

Please join these two as they lament over the year that was, discuss all the things they didn’t do but promise they will do them next year, query whether putting a NAS in the storage of a roller door is a good idea, and finally arrive at what they’re looking forward to bringing you in the new year.
