Episode 268 of the Transatlantic Cable includes chess shocks, GTA6 breach, antivax carrots and IHG wiper attack!

Episode 268 of the Transatlantic Cable kicks off with a rather bizarre (and that’s putting it lightly) story about a chess master tournament, cheating and beads that go where the sun don’t shine, so to speak. Let’s just say if you want to learn more, check the link below. Following that bombshell, discussion returns to familiar ground, this time talking about the Grand Theft Auto VI hack and subsequent data breach.

After all of that, David sat down with Evgenia Ponomareva from the Kaspersky Operating System team to talk about KasperskyOS and the automotive industry – specifically how the OS can integrate into the rapidly digitizing automotive market.

To wrap up, they discussed how anti-vax groups are going underground and using carrot emojis in order to evade censorship. The final story looks at a hack of the IHG hotel chain and how the hackers ended up deploying a wiper ‘for fun.’
