IN a recent episode of Dark Reading's "What We Missed," hosts Rob Wright and Alex Culafi discuss significant cybersecurity events that weren't covered in their main publication. Primary topics include a disruptive hacking incident on a Delta Air Lines flight where a passenger created a fake Wi-Fi network, leading to phishing concerns and federal investigations.
They also address a proposal from the Trump administration allowing private companies to undertake offensive cyber operations against criminals, raising legal and ethical concerns. Additionally, an academic demonstration of a small device capable of hacking Boeing 737 systems is examined, alongside the challenges faced by ad blocker uBlock Origin due to the increasing complexity of Facebook ads and their links to scams.
