Children’s Data Stolen from Nursery—Published on Dark Web

The Awareness Angle: Cyber News Weekly

This week on The Awareness Angle, Anthony Davis and Luke Pettigrew dive into everything from car factories grinding to a halt to ransomware crews dumping nursery data online. It’s a mix of big-business losses, government experiments with digital ID, and the human cost of attacks that don’t care who they hit.

🚗 Jaguar Land Rover Shutdown – Millions lost each day, suppliers in crisis, and no cyber insurance in sight. We unpack why this wasn’t “just an IT problem.”

✈️ Airports Held to Ransom – Collins Aerospace software outage takes down check-in systems across Europe. We look at third-party risks and déjà vu comparisons with the CrowdStrike fiasco.

🪪 UK Digital Identity Scheme – A bold plan for online trust, or surveillance by stealth? We explore what it could mean for privacy and daily life.

🎒 Nursery Ransomware Leak – Criminals publish children’s profiles and family data. The ethics are grim, but it raises bigger questions about ransom bans and government policy.

⚖️ Law Firms in the Crosshairs – Weak passwords, outdated tech, and no MFA. Why smaller firms are prime targets—and how class actions are fuelling the chaos.

💻 GitHub & npm Security Overhaul – After 500+ compromised packages, stronger controls are here. But will devs embrace them, or find ways around?

🎙️ Deepfakes & Fake Voices – A survey says 44% of businesses hit by audio deepfakes. We’re sceptical—but the tactics are real, and awareness needs to evolve.

🍪 Cookie Banners on the Way Out – The EU may finally kill off endless pop-ups. Great for users, but what replaces them?

Along the way, Ant recaps highlights from KnowBe4’s CyberSecure Leeds and the SANS Security Awareness Summit, with stories of romance scams, AI panels, and why awareness needs a human edge.

If you care about supply chain fragility, human risk, and how attackers exploit the cracks in everyday systems, this one’s full of lessons.
