Srsly Risky Biz: The cyber regime change pipe dream
Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about aggressive US cyber operations targeting the Venezuelan government in President Trump’s first term. These were narrowly successful in that they achieved their immediate operational goals, but they didn’t achieve Trump’s broader policy goal of ousting Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
They also talk about why the adtech ecosystem is a national security problem all round the world and how cybercriminals are collaborating with organised crime to steal cargo from logistics companies.
