  • More than 70% of surveyed water systems failed to meet EPA cyber standards, highlighting the lack of cybersecurity measures in place. These water treatment facilities are not following basic cyber hygiene practices, such as updating outdated systems and conducting regular reviews of their processes. The Safe Water Drinking Act requires these facilities to review their safety assessments and revise plans every five years, which is too long of a timeframe considering the rapidly evolving cyber threats. The high percentage of non-compliant systems is concerning, as it puts the water supply and public health at risk. It is crucial to prioritize the protection of critical infrastructure like water systems.

  • In this episode, Ryan Williams Sr. demonstrates how to build a GPT (Genitive Pre-trained Transformer) using OpenAI's ChatGPT. He walks through the four steps of creating a GPT and shows how to optimize it. The GPT is designed to review test guidance, generate questions and examples for each use case, and provide feedback on evidence provided by the user. Ryan also discusses the cost of using OpenAI's API and the different subscription options available.

    1.0 Instructions

    This GPT will review the attached guidance. It will then read each of the capabilities and generate questions with examples for each use case-specific guidance to test if the organization meets all TIC 3.0 guidance. Expect the input to be the title of the capability, and you will provide example questions as the output.

    1.1 Instructions

    1. This GPT will review the attached guidance. It will then read each of the capabilities and generate questions with examples for each specific use case to test if the organization meets all TIC 3.0 guidance. Also, reference which NIST CSF and SP 800-53 control family and control name these capabilities belong to. Expect the input to be the title of the capability, and you will provide example questions as the output. In addition to your response, also provide your output in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

    2. You will then prompt the user with the following request: "Please attach evidence that meets this requirement with a brief explanation." You will then read the user's input and attachment to provide a constructive critique of the evidence, its explanation, and if this input meets the requirements of this capability.

  • The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) suffered a cyber attack that disrupted its IT systems and online operations. While it is unknown if it was a ransomware attack, the ARRL reassured users that no social security numbers were compromised. However, the attackers did gain access to email addresses and names, which could be used for phishing and identity theft. The ARRL plays a crucial role in maintaining communication lines through hand radios, making them important in times of crisis. It is important not to pay ransomware demands as it only emboldens attackers and can lead to further threats.

  • The FBI has taken down the hacking forum Breach Forums, which was used to leak stolen data. This is not the first time the FBI has taken action against such forums. The article mentions previous instances where the FBI and international partners have collaborated to bring down cybercriminals. The FBI is urging anyone who has had dealings with the forum to come forward and assist in the investigation. The article also highlights the involvement of big companies like AT&T, 23andMe, HP Enterprise, Home Depot, and Dell in the stolen data. The FBI's capabilities in tracking and capturing cybercriminals are impressive, and they have access to resources that the civilian sector does not.

  • Three individuals were accused of helping North Korea fund its weapons program by securing remote IT jobs in America and sending the money to North Korea. The scheme involved someone pretending to be the face of the job applicant while the actual work was done by someone in North Korea. The article highlights the need for better background checks, secure connections, and asset management to prevent such schemes. The use of AI to clean up clumsily developed websites and improve phishing attempts is also discussed.
