We’re continuing our new miniseries about privacy with cyber security researcher Hanna Linderstål.
Hanna is the Founder and CEO of Earhart Business Protection Agency, a company providing research for governments and organisations on disinformation and online threats. Robby has invited Hanna to discuss modern cyber espionage and lawful intercept; the practice of enabling agencies with legal authorisation to do electronic surveillance of individuals.
They also chat about how cyber espionage has changed after the COVID-19 pandemic, the SolarWinds supply chain attack, and how much data we are giving up about ourselves without really thinking it through when installing and using apps.
Stay tuned for more episodes on privacy in the coming weeks.

Your phone is spying on you | Privacy miniseries
Do you know what your favourite apps are doing with your data? And who exactly are these entities that are capitalising on selling this kind of information?
We’re kicking off our new miniseries about privacy with investigative journalist Martin Gundersen.
Martin works at NRK, the Norwegian public broadcaster, where he writes about IT security, privacy and social media. He’s here to tell Robby about what he’s found after working on a news story about data brokers, companies that gain access to mobile app data, since 2019. His findings have received international attention, and he talks with Robby about the privacy risks associated with these companies and shares his thoughts about what we can do to prevent or limit being tracked.
Stay tuned for more episodes on privacy in the coming weeks.

What's the worst that can happen with your email?
For this episode, Robby has invited Korstiaan Stam, Digital Forensics & Incident Response Manager in PwC Netherlands, to pick his brain about Business Email Compromise (BEC).
Korstiaan has a lot of experience working with email fraud, and throughout their conversation he shares many of his war stories. He explains the many different ways adversaries are exploiting organisations through this attack vector, and what they can actually do once they gain access to your email.
They also discuss the professionalisation of BEC, what steps are essential when doing BEC investigations, and SolarWinds.
