Infosecurity Magazine

Everybody now, AI is on every single job spec.

Hello everybody and welcome to the latest episode of the Infosecurity Magazine podcast, which is brought to you by 7AI.

My name is James Coker and I'm stepping in for our usual host, Beth Maundrill, who is currently enjoying a holiday as we record this episode.

And I'm also joined by our reporter, Kevin Poirot.

See the difference at 7ai.com forward slash the new standard for managed security.

So Kevin, you recently had a chat with a recruiter and a CISO to ask them about the effects AI is having on cybersecurity hiring.

Yeah, and the idea of dedicating this podcast to this topic actually came to me from one of the stories that you pitched for a feature that is already available on the InfoSecurity Magazine website.

And we will link the feature in the show notes.

And finally, the US Treasury has sanctioned Shinbi Guarantee, a Chinese-language marketplace accused of facilitating fraud, money laundering and other criminal activity, following similar action by the UK.

Infosecurity Magazine reports that the platform connects Southeast Asian scam centres and other criminal groups with merchants selling services including stolen personal data, fake identity documents, AI deepfakes, satellite internet equipment and cryptocurrency services.

Treasury estimates Shinbi has processed more than $24 billion in cryptocurrency and fiat currency since 2022, while TRM Labs believes the true figure could exceed $36 billion.

Reporting for Cybercrime Radio, I'm David Browie.
