The panelists – Anna Delaney, director of productions; Tony Morbin, executive news editor for the EU; Rashmi Ramesh, assistant editor for global news; and Mathew Schwartz, executive editor for DataBreachToday and Europe – discussed:
- How the U.S. government is investigating Chinese state-sponsored hackers for breaching major telecom providers’ lawful wiretap systems in an espionage operation targeting U.S. surveillance efforts;
- How legislation like the recently vetoed AI safety bill in California fits into balancing the push for AI innovation with the need to manage “catastrophic” risks;
- How the new ransomware guidance from the International Counter Ransomware Initiative, which advocates for faster incident reporting, expert involvement and discouraging ransom payments, could reshape how organizations respond to ransomware attacks.
