Cybersecurity with Craig Petronella - CMMC, NIST, DFARS, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO27001

Imagine discovering that the very foundations of your financial security have been compromised by one of the most infamous crypto-heists in history. That's the chilling tale we unravel from the 2016 Bitfinex breach, with a staggering $4.5 billion at stake. We join forces with cybersecurity experts and dive into the cutting-edge blockchain forensics that led to the recent arrests, providing a glimmer of hope in the dark abyss of stolen digital assets. As your guide, I share invaluable strategies for fortifying your cryptocurrency investments—think cold wallets and micro-transactions—not just to protect your wealth, but to ensure its rightful transfer to your heirs.
But the perils lurking in the crypto-verse don't end with exchange hacks. Have you ever had the feeling that something's too good to be true? We dissect the 'pig butchering' scams that prey on investors through sophisticated social engineering, and I'll recount a personal brush with these cunning con artists. The episode becomes a stark warning about the craftiness of digital predators, while also equipping you with the armory of knowledge needed to build a fortress around your digital assets—multi-signature wallets, encrypted physical backups, and all.
As we round off our journey, we scrutinize the influence that glitters from the world of crypto influencers, where not all that shines is gold. We question the hype, dissect the endorsements, and underline the importance of due diligence. I emphasize the unique strengths of Bitcoin and the trustless technologies that underpin it, urging listeners to embrace self-reliance in the wake of rampant cyber threats. So, if you're ready to navigate the complex currents of cryptocurrency and cybersecurity, this episode is your beacon in the storm, illuminating the path to safeguarding your digital treasure.
