Tech commentator Tony Grasso joins Susie to talk about the cyber attacks on Taiwan amid rising tensions with China, a DDoS attack on Britain's National Health Service.

He'll also look at why insider theft is still a major risk, as an ex-Amazon worker is found guilty of stealing the details of over 100 million Americans and six million Canadians,  and how Adversary-in-the-middle attacks are on the rise and include New Zealand targets.

Tony Grasso is Principal Consultant at cybersecurity firm TitaniumDefence. He worked at GCHQ in the UK and is a former Intelligence Officer in New Zealand.
