This week Arj and Jordan take a look back at the big issues of 2022 and how things have played out since they were discussed in earlier episodes.

They cover topics including the crash of crypto, the extent of cyber war in the Ukraine/Russia conflict, the march of facial recognition technology, and Australian Government reforms in the cyber and privacy domains.

This is our last episode of 2022. We'll be back in early Jan. Thank you all for listening to the first year of TWIDT!
