Kmart sells camera glasses for $89. They look like ordinary black-rimmed glasses. They record 1080p video and 8-megapixel photos. Nobody around you can tell. They've already sold out across Australia. Dr Kiran Kewalramani (Dr KK) joins David Dowsett on ABC Wide Bay to explain what that actually means for you. The risk, plainly: 1) You won't know you're being filmed. Older camera glasses had a visible light or an obvious lens. These look like any other pair of glasses on a shelf at Kmart. 2) Your face can be matched to your identity. Facial recognition apps exist that take a photo of a stranger and return their name, address, and phone number in seconds. It's already been demonstrated using this exact style of glasses. 3) Australian privacy law protects you from companies, not from the person standing next to you. If someone films your face in public with these glasses, current law gives you almost no way to stop them or hold them accountable. 4) The barrier to entry used to be expensive, specialised gear. Now it's $89 and a five-minute purchase at Kmart Dr Kiran Kewalramani (Dr KK) joins David Dowsett on ABC Wide Bay to break down what this actually means for anyone who leaves the house.

Culture is not a soft concept. It is your hardest cyber control. In this video, Dr. Kiran Kewalramani, CEO of Cyber Ethos, board advisor, and author of Cyber Insecurity: The Silent Risk in Your Boardroom, makes the case that no firewall, no security tool, and no incident response plan will save an organisation with a weak culture. If your people do not take security seriously, your technical stack does not matter. This is one of the most overlooked risks sitting in boardrooms right now. And the fix is not a technology purchase. It starts at the top. WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY: ✅ Why culture is the single most powerful lever board leaders have in cybersecurity ✅ How weak organisational culture silently undermines even the best technical controls ✅ What board directors and executives can do right now to shift culture and reduce risk ✅ Why the board, not the CISO, must own this conversation ✅ How improving culture creates a compounding effect across your entire security posture If you are a board director, CEO, CFO, or senior executive, this is not optional viewing. This is the conversation your next board meeting needs to have. ─────────────────────────────────────── ABOUT DR.

Are Your Board Directors Personally Liable for a Cyber Breach?
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem, it’s a business risk that leaders cannot ignore. From ransomware attacks to data breaches, cyber incidents can shut down operations, damage reputation, and impact revenue. That’s why cybersecurity must be driven from the top, by executives, leadership teams, and board directors. In this video, we explain why cybersecurity is now a leadership responsibility and why every organisation must treat it as a core business priority. 🔐 Cybersecurity is not a “nice to have” 🚨 It is a must-have for business survival If you're a business owner, executive, or board member, this is something you cannot afford to overlook. #CyberSecurity #CyberRisk #Ransomware #DataBreach #BusinessContinuity #CyberSecurityAwareness #InformationSecurity #Leadership #Boardroom #DigitalTransformation #CyberResilience 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with Cyber Ethos and our journey toward a secure digital future.

Cybersecurity Is No Longer IT’s Job, It’s a Leadership Responsibility
A new wave of AI-powered children’s toys is hitting the market, using advanced chatbots to create interactive robots and plush toys that can hold real conversations with kids. However, growing concerns are emerging. Independent testing reveals some AI toys can respond to questions around safety, privacy, and inappropriate content in ways that introduce serious risks. As artificial intelligence becomes part of children’s daily lives, the line between play and exposure is increasingly blurred. In today’s digital world, protecting children’s privacy, data security, and online safety must extend to every connected device, including toys. 📹CTTO: nbcnews #CyberSecurity #AIToys #ChildSafety #DataPrivacy #OnlineSafety #ArtificialIntelligence #SmartDevices #IoTSecurity #digitalparenting 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with Cyber Ethos and our journey toward a secure digital future.
