Drex covers three critical stories from the world of cybersecurity. First, cybercriminals are exploiting the chaos in Florida following Hurricane Milton, launching phishing scams and malware attacks disguised as FEMA assistance. Next, we explore how cybersecurity leaders are becoming chief risk storytellers, with communication skills often outweighing technical expertise. Lastly, we dive into two shocking reports of cybercrime involving young individuals—some as young as 11—who are starting their criminal careers in cybersecurity.

Remember, Stay a Little Paranoid

Today's Two Minute Drill is brought to you by ORDR, the Asset Inventory and Intelligence Platform. Did you know that you can know everything about everything on your network?

Here's some stuff you might want to know about. Milton toured through Florida yesterday and this morning, and as predicted, cybercriminals are already targeting those already having the worst day of their lives.

Cyberthugs are working scams that include pretending to be FEMA assistance providers, and phishing campaigns that send you fake websites to sign up for assistance, and malware disguised as FEMA documents being sent via email or posted on hacked websites. I know you need help. But think carefully before you click or open attachments.

The bad guys are counting on you to be distracted. There's an article on CSO Online about how cyber leaders have become the chief risk storytellers and how that skill of relating to boards and fellow execs By finding the right way to explain cyber challenges has become maybe more important than technical skills for a lot of CISOs.

Back in May, I did an Unhack the Podcast on this topic tied to some of the best analogies and stories healthcare security execs use to get their message across. It's definitely a special skill. That show was filled with good advice from CISOs from around the country. Be sure to give the article a look, and I'll make sure I post a link to the Unhack the Podcast show I'm referencing in the comments.

And finally, there's two crazy stories. Crazy is probably the wrong word. They're the kinds of stories that you couldn't make up. Uh, one's from the Wall Street Journal, one's from Krebs on security. Both of them are tied to two different stories about young people, like really young people, some who've started their cyber criminal career as young as 11 years old.

Kids who've decided that cybercrime is going to be their career, you should go read both of them. They'll make you a little paranoid about what's going on with your kids or your grandkids. And both stories are on thisweekhealth. com slash news. That's where I posted all the stories that I talked about on the show today.

Oh, and Sarah Richardson and I are actually going to talk a little bit more about One of those kids and cybercrime stories on the Today Show podcast. As always, you can find both those shows, the Today Show podcast and the Two Minute Drill. Just search for This Week Health Newsroom and you'll find both shows on that channel.
