Summary
The hosts discuss a DDoS record reported by Cloudflare and cyber incidents affecting Jaguar Land Rover, Circle K stores in China, and Collins Aerospace, alongside a Secret Service claim about a seized communications network.
Key points

- Cloudflare said it mitigated a DDoS attack reaching about 22 terabits per second or 10.6 billion packets per second.
- Jaguar Land Rover extended its global shutdown after a cyberattack. The discussion reports company-estimated losses of about $70 million per day and greater losses for suppliers.
- About 400 Circle K stores in China suspended electronic payment operations for days amid a reported network disruption.
- Collins Aerospace was reported to be battling a ransomware attack that caused flight delays across Europe; the hosts said the UK had arrested someone in connection with the case.
