  1. Licensing abuse case with financial scale.
    A Florida operator of Trinity Software Distribution was sentenced to 22 months in federal prison for trafficking Microsoft authentication labels and extracting product keys for resale.

    Operational elements:
    • Bulk purchase of COA labels
    • Manual key extraction workflow
    • Spreadsheet logging of license codes
    • Global bulk resale model
    • $5.1M+ wired to supplier
    Risk vectors exposed:
    - Software supply chain manipulation
    - License validation bypass attempts
    - Gray-market procurement exposure
    - Compliance audit failure risk
    Organizations purchasing below-market license keys may inadvertently expose themselves to legal and operational consequences.

    Are license audits part of your internal security and compliance posture?

  2. 🎙️ Catching Up With Ken Munro After Infosecurity Europe 2025 — Hack the Planet, One System at a Time

    This is our final On Location episode from Infosecurity Europe 2025, and I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap it than with Ken Munro of Pen Test Partners — a conversation that dives into real-world #hacking: from vehicles to planes to critical infrastructure, and why tangible, hands-on security education matters more than ever.

  3. I am back!!!
    And I brought Jacqueline Jayne with me. 🤘✨

    Make some noise for an awesome episode 🎉

    After taking a brief pause, I’m back at full speed with my shows: Redefining #Society & #Technology on ITSPmagazine Podcasts — ready to bring you bold conversations that challenge assumptions and question the role of technology in our lives.

    This is the first episode published for the 2025 season, but trust me, many more are already recorded and coming your way soon.

    And we’re kicking things off with a big one.

    🚨 Australia recently banned social media for kids under 16.
    A bold move? Sure. A solution? Well, that’s where the debate begins.

    In this episode of Redefining Society & Technology, I sit down with my Australian friend Jacqueline Jayne to break it all down. JJ is a cybersecurity and human risk expert, and she’s got some strong thoughts about why prohibition never works.

    Let’s face it—does banning something ever actually solve the problem?

    We explore the unintended consequences:
    ⚠️ Will this really protect kids, or just push them to riskier online spaces?
    ⚠️ What about the communities that rely on #socialmedia for connection and support?
    ⚠️ Who’s actually responsible for educating kids (and adults) about online safety?

    Technology moves fast, but knee-jerk policies don’t always keep up. Instead of banning, maybe it’s time we start educating.
