Srsly Risky Biz: Why Iran is a scaredy cat cyber chicken
Manage episode 492259018 series 3511344
Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss warnings about Iranian cyber attacks on US critical infrastructure. Despite many many warnings, there have been no actual attacks and they discuss the reasons why Iran would want to avoid escalatory cyber attacks.
They also talk about how the FBI is struggling to deal with the democratisation of surveillance and data analysis, what the agency calls Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance (UTS). A Department of Justice audit of the FBI’s response finds the threat from UTS is real and that sources have been murdered. But it seems that the FBI just doesn’t care.
