This week on Hacker And Fed we update a story from a few episodes ago about a woman driving with a suspicious eavesdropping device near the embassies in Paris, Credit Suisse suffers a insider threat attack, an old attack methodology is updated to steal cryptocurrency, a hacker utilizes screen-capturing malware to cherry-pick their victims, regulators propose a rule to have cyber educated board members, Hector receives a phishing email that turns out to be a much larger issue, and finally Hector pays off his losing Super Bowl bet.
