The panelists - Anna Delaney, director, productions; Mathew Schwartz, executive editor, DataBreachToday and Europe; Suparna Goswami, associate editor, ISMG Asia; and Tony Morbin, executive news editor, EU - discuss:

  • How, at a time when the wider Russian-language darknet market scene remains fragmented, online drug markets are switching to custom Android apps for greater privacy;
  • Highlights from an interview with Frank McKenna of Point Predictive, who explains how check fraud, first-party fraud and AI-related fraud will increase in 2023, thanks in large part to growing insider threats and the global economic slowdown;
  • How Russia's war in Ukraine is changing the balance of power in cyberspace and who is likely to be the main beneficiary.

The ISMG Editors' Panel runs weekly. Don't miss our previous installments, including the Dec. 30 edition, which looks back on 2022, and the Jan. 6 edition, which discusses the complexity of the Rackspace zero-day attack.
