## Resource

On this not-to-be-missed podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft look at the AI best of times and worst of times for the UK's Lloyds Bank, see what LockBit's up to in the ransomware space, and have a look at Australia's new draft Children's Online Privacy Code. Good news for Lloyds – the UK's biggest bank is deploying AI to bolster its data engineering. It's a smart move that makes sense of the technology, however... Bad news for Lloyds – the UK's biggest bank may have just exposed a mountain of customer data due to an AI glitch. The pair also break down how the LockBit ransomware group has evolved and why an Australian toy store may be the perfect target, before having a look at the impact of scams on the Aussie and how terrorist groups are taking advantage of our generosity. Finally, it's good news, as the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) is looking at rewriting the rules to protect our kids' data online. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team
