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.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
