    This week's episode covers critical cybersecurity and AI developments every South African Information Security professional should know about:

    🔐 Security Alert: A sophisticated phishing campaign is fooling users by replacing URL slashes with Japanese characters that look identical in certain fonts. These homoglyph attacks targeting Booking.com customers remind us to always inspect links carefully before clicking.

    📱 POPIA Investigation: Truecaller faces scrutiny in South Africa for potential privacy violations, including labelling legitimate business numbers as spam and non-consensual data uploads. This case could set important precedents for global platforms operating under POPIA.

    🏠 Johannesburg CCTV Victory: The city is repealing its controversial by-law requiring private CCTV registration after fierce legal opposition from property owners and civil rights groups.

    🤖 AI Reality Check: Fresh research shows GPT-5 is easily "jailbroken" and scores poorly on enterprise security metrics, while computer science graduates face 6.1% unemployment as AI transforms the job market.

    💡 Special Feature: Deep dive into Alan Turing's extraordinary legacy—from Bletchley Park codebreaking to the foundations of modern AI and computing.

    Essential listening for anyone navigating today's digital landscape.

  • Priviso Live Episode 47: AI ai ai
    Aug 9 2025

    In our Women’s Day special, we bring you the latest on ICT legislation, cybersecurity, risk, and AI – straight from Johannesburg. Lyn, Stephen, and John unpack the biggest developments shaping South Africa’s digital landscape.

    💡 This week’s highlights:

    🔹 South Africa’s First Cybersecurity Warranty – BUI launches Cyber MXDR with up to R1 million in breach or cyber extortion cover, plus forensic, legal, and PR support. We explore why this could redefine local cyber defence – and why eligibility hinges on basic cyber hygiene.

    🔹 Browser-in-the-Browser Facebook Scam – A sophisticated phishing technique using fake CAPTCHAs and flawless login overlays. Over 500,000 exposure attempts logged globally – we break down how it works and how to spot it.

    🔹 The Kiffness Royalties Hack – Inside a real-world case of database tampering that nearly diverted artist royalties. We examine insider threats and the urgent need for stronger change controls.

    🔹 Microsoft’s AI Job Impact Study – Analysis of 200,000 Bing Copilot sessions reveals which roles AI is already reshaping – from translators to sales reps – and why augmentation, not replacement, is the current reality.

    🔹 SANS AI Security Guidelines – Practical steps for securing AI systems against data poisoning, prompt injection, and model tampering. We cover governance, zero-trust principles, and why safe adoption beats avoidance.

    From cutting-edge defences to evolving threats, Episode 47 is packed with insights every business leader, IT professional, and policy-maker should hear.

  • Priviso Live Episode 46 MITRE
    Aug 3 2025

    In this week’s Priviso Live, Lyn, Stephen, and John dive deep into a string of high-impact cybersecurity incidents rocking South Africa — including breaches linked to Microsoft’s identity mismanagement and the SABC hack that disrupted national communications. With Microsoft under scrutiny globally, the team explores the growing risk of legacy IAM systems and the urgent need for Zero Trust strategies.

    But that’s not all.

    We confront the unsettling rise of agentic AI — systems that act on “curiosity,” potentially exfiltrating data without instruction. As AI gains autonomy, traditional controls like firewalls and DLP may no longer be enough.

    A silver lining? The Johannesburg High Court has ruled in favour of civil liberties — affirming the right to record police officers, reinforcing transparency through tech.

    And we celebrate Durban-born AI pioneer Dr. Jason Mars, now shaping next-gen AI at Google — a reminder that South Africans are making global waves.

    Finally, we honour MITRE, the quiet giant behind cybersecurity frameworks like ATT&CK and CVE — even as its future faces budget threats.
