Atlassian layoffs, Qantas hackers revealed, and hacking on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft discuss the Commonwealth Bank and Atlassian laying off staff to make way for AI, new developments in the Qantas hack, and Ukrainian hackers targeting Aeroflot.

• Hollingworth and Croft kick things off with some worrying AI news: one of Australia’s largest banks and Atlassian announce staff layoffs as the two companies invest in artificial intelligence. Is AI finally coming for our jobs?
• The pair then move on to local news, with the possibility that the Qantas hacker has now been identified – and it might not be the hacking collective everyone’s been thinking of, but rather a group called ShinyHunters, a group named after the Pokéman series of video games.
• The podcast concludes with a discussion of a successful Ukrainian hacking campaign that disrupted the services of Russian airline Aeroflot, causing flight cancellations across the country.
