Security Unlocked - The Language of Cybercrime

How many languages do you speak? The average person only speaks one or two languages, and for most people that’s plenty because even as communities are becoming more global, languages are still very much tied to geographic boundaries. But what happens when you go on the internet where those regions don’t exist the same way they do in real life? Because the internet connects people from every corner of the world, cybercriminals can perpetrate scams in countries thousands of miles away. So how do organizations like Microsoft’s Digital Crime Unit combat cybercrime when they don’t even speak the language of the perpetrators?  

On today’s episode of Security Unlocked, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla sit down with Peter Anaman, Principal Investigator on the Digital Crimes Unit, to discuss how Peter looks at digital crimes in a very interconnected world and how language and culture play into the crimes being committed, who’s behind them, and how to stop them.  


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Some of the tools the Digital Crime Unit at Microsoft uses to catch criminals.  
  • How language and cultural factors into cyber crime 
  • Why cyber crime has been on the rise since Covid began 


Some Questions We Ask:

  • How has understanding a specific culture helped crack a case? 
  • How does a lawyer who served as an officer in the French Army wind up working at Microsoft? 
  • Are there best practices for content creators to stay safe from cyber crime?

What A Day - Senate Parliamentarian Funkadelic

Senate Democrats got the green light to pass more bills with a simple majority vote. On Monday, the Senate’s parliamentarian ruled that the Dems can pass more budget reconciliation bills this year — the same process they used for the relief bill. We explain what this means.

President Biden wants states to make all adults eligible for vaccines by April 19th. The new date is two weeks sooner than his previous goal.

And in headlines: St. Louis jail uprising, Iran and the US take steps to resume nuclear deal, and Kim Kardashian West becomes a billionaire.

The Daily Signal - He Lived Under Socialism in Venezuela. That’s Why He’ll Never Support It.

Andres Guilarte is a university student who lived in Venezuela under a democratically elected socialist regime.

Guilarte says food shortages were a daily occurrence.


Venezuelans also endure massive blackouts, political persecution, and a lack of access to health care due to the socialist government.

Guilarte joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to share his experiences of living in socialist Venezuela.


"Living in Venezuela is way worse than people might think that they see in the news, or maybe on documentaries," he says.


"You just picture that you start convincing yourself that maybe eating three times a day is not necessary, and that the quality of the food that you have to eat probably is not that one that you expect it to be," he added. "So, you have to get used to, like I was when I was in college, that if I had that breakfast, most likely I didn't have lunch. If I had lunch, it's because I skipped breakfast."


We also cover these stories:

  • The Senate parliamentarian announced Monday that Senate budget rules allow the process known as reconciliation to take place more than once in a fiscal year.
  • A 38-year-old Navy medic reportedly shot and seriously wounded two Navy sailors Tuesday morning at a business park in Frederick, Maryland, before being fatally shot himself a short time later at Fort Detrick.
  • President Joe Biden has moved up the goal for when all American adults will be eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Biden now says that all adults should be eligible for the vaccine by April 19, two weeks sooner than the original goal.
