This week on the Security Squawk Podcast, we're diving into three major cybersecurity incidents that highlight just how vulnerable even the most well-known organizations still are in 2025. First up, we cover the massive data breach at Co-op, where all 6.5 million members had their personal information stolen. That's right—every single member. We unpack what went wrong, how the breach was discovered, and the long-term fallout for one of the UK's largest retail cooperatives. Then, we turn our attention to the notorious Scattered Spider cybercrime group, which is back in the headlines after breaching major corporations like Clorox and Cognizant. And how did they get in? Not with some zero-day exploit or advanced malware—just simple, convincing phone calls. It's a wake-up call for any business that thinks cybersecurity is all about firewalls and antivirus. Finally, we bring it closer to home with a cyberattack that shut down systems in the Fort Smith Public School District in Arkansas. It's the latest in a growing trend of ransomware targeting schools and disrupting education. We explore what districts can do to prepare and why K–12 institutions remain such easy, high-impact targets for cybercriminals. If you're a business owner, IT professional, school administrator, or just someone who cares about protecting data, this is one episode you don't want to miss. ️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
