You can now watch "Unfriendly Followers: The Black Market For Your Identity" on demand. Truman Kain, Caitlin Sarian ("Cybersecurity Girl"), and Jai Minton dive into how attackers build a convincing profile on you before they ever make contact, using information that's often easier to find than you might realise.
The episode breaks down how OSINT fuels identity-driven attacks and why your personal and work life is harder to separate than ever, exactly the kind of attack ASD's ACSC sees more of than anything else in Australia. You'll walk away with a clearer view of how to make yourself, your family, and your organisation harder to target.
