Author: Kaspersky June 6, 2024 Duration: 23:40

Episode 350 of the Transatlantic Cable podcast kicks off with surprising news that whilst Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and MidJourney are marketed aggressively, they're not actually that popular with everyday folk – with just 2% of people in the UK saying they use Gen AI in their day.

From there talk moves to news regarding two large data breaches, both of which were hit by the same group "ShinyHunters".  To wrap up, the team discuss a story around Microsoft's India X account, which was recently hacked in order to spread crypto scams.
