How cyber warfare really works with Hayley Benedict | DISRUPT CONFLICT RISK SYSTEM
What does cyberwarfare really look like behind the headlines? This week, Roo sits down with Hayley Benedict, a cyber intelligence analyst at RANE , to explore the evolving world of digital conflict. From hacktivists to disinformation specialists, Hayley shares how nation states, criminals, and ideologically driven groups are blurring lines — and why data theft, disruption, and doubt remain the weapons of choice. 🎙️🛰️ In Crash Course, we cut through some industry jargon to explain Zero Trust: never assume, always verify. And in Watchtower Weekly, ransomware gets a 2025 upgrade. We cover LunaLock’s dystopian AI threats against artists, bargain-bin ransoms disrupting Swedish municipalities, and a UK car line halted by a hacker crew mash-up.
