Unmasking Espionage's Global Influence
Welcome to Think Like the Enemy, where we expose the tactics of those who manipulate, deceive and control. This isn't just another news podcast. This is a psychological warfare analysis, political chess, information storage. If you want to stop being a pawn in their game, you have to learn to think like the enemy. Every headline, every crisis, every so-called solution, it's all a move on a larger play. But once you see the pattern, you'll never be manipulated again. Let's break it down.
Speaker 2:What's up? What's up everybody? Everybody, welcome to another episode of think like the enemy. Today we have the war room report, the espionage playbook. What if I told you the biggest wars aren't fought on battlefields but in the shadows? So now let's explore the world of espionage right now.
Speaker 2:Espionage is more than just spies and trench coats. It's a trillion dollar game played by corporations, governments yes, you heard that, correct governments and cyber operatives. The media often paints spies as lone wolves, but the truth is far more complex. Espionage is a covered gathering of classified or proprietary information. It has shaped history, from sun tzu, the art of war, as you can see it in my background on deception, to the intelligence battles of world war ii and the cold war. Let's think of the cambridge five. The modern battlefield includes political espionage, you know, like the kgb versus the CIA operations. Military surveillance, like the U-2 spy planes. And cyber espionage, like Chinese and Russian hacking. And on top of that, we also have industrial espionage, like stealing corporate secrets.
Speaker 2:The big question is could your favorite company be stealing secrets right now? That is what I want to know. A lot of people actually speculate on this and, let's be honest, it is a possibility. Why? Exactly Because they need to get ahead of the game somehow. So why not, instead of actually having to do the work themselves, why can't they just steal it? It is morally wrong. It is completely, you know, asinine backwards. I don't understand, but it is the way it is. So now, on top of this, what if I told you that billion-dollar companies aren't just competing, they're spying on each other?
Speaker 2:Industrial espionage is the act of illegally obtaining trade secrets, blueprints or confidential strategies. There's also a competitive intelligence. You know the legal versus the industrial espionage, which is illegal, and you might be asking how is it done? Well, it's pretty simple. It is insider threats. You know like employees getting drives or being coerced into. Actually, you know leaking sensitive information. Think of somebody that is actually strapped for cash, has a very, very big debt to a bookie or has just, I don't know, the ability to just say morals, don't matter to me today. There you have it.
Speaker 2:Then the next one we have is more like hacking or cyber theft using malware, phishing or phishing attempts and direct cyber attacks. So think more in the lines of you are sending your company email on your company desk. You get an email at your company. You know actual email. We're going to say server, or we're going to say the actual company's email, and it says hey, get a free vacation to Bora Bora paid for by Screw you Industries. And you click on it and there you go, you have somebody within the system now, because you let them in, and we have.
Speaker 2:On top of that, we have physical espionage breaking into offices, stealing prototypes or tapping phone lines. This used to be done a lot more we can say back in the 80s and 90s, but yet again today we also have the same threat. And then we have social engineering. We have manipulation of employees to divulge confidential information, ie we can say pre-taxing or baiting. Think in the lines of James O'Keefe. He's not necessarily doing social engineering, but it is certainly using some techniques that allow people to feel more open and feel more at ease when it comes to this kind of you know this kind of practice. Because if you ask me and you start going like, oh, hey, man, what do you do with your job, and I'll be like, well, why are you asking me? I don't know who's actually working in these government agencies that Mr O'Keefe is actually dealing with, but I can tell you 100% that it's not the sharpest knife in the tool say it.
Speaker 2:So let's do some notable examples of the information that we gave you above Coca-Cola versus Pepsi, where employees attempted to steal secret formulas to competitors. Then we have the Tesla employee leak Rogue engineer copied trade secrets. Have the tesla employee leak rogue engineer copied trade secrets. And then we have the howie huawei whatever you say it accusing or accused of ip theft from us firms. So you think your workplace is safe. You might want to check who's watching over the shoulders.
Speaker 2:So what is a strategy? Strategy behind it? I can't talk today, man. It's been a lot of things going on in the media and I'm freaking the hell out, so I'm sorry, I apologize. So the strategy behind it industrial espionage isn't just corporate drama. It's a trillion dollar battlefield where jobs, economies and national security are at stake. Here are some of the actual economic impacts, impacts which is something that I think that a lot of people are going to be extremely surprised about.
Speaker 2:So the fbi estimates that corporate espionage costs us companies about 500 billion dollars annually. Yes, you've heard correct 500 billion dollars annually. The loss of intellectual property weakens national competitiveness and we can just say, like you know, chile or china's alleged tech theft. What are some of the corporate countermeasures. Well, cyber security defense, it's basically encrypting any database, or every database, and multi-factor authentication. Another one is employee training on phishing and social engineering. And then we have ethical hacking teams testing security vulnerabilities. On top of that. You might be asking OK, cool man, we have all this kind of crap. Ok, why? How is it being mitigated from the government standpoint? Well, there actually has been a response. There's been an Economic Espionage Act of 1996. And it is a legal tool for prosecution to actually go against corporate spies. And then we also have the US-China trade war, where intellectual property theft is a key issue and every single time it comes up.
Speaker 2:So if espionage is inevitable, should businesses play offense instead of defense? That's my question to you. How about down below, like share and subscribe and let me know what you think? So now let's go to the counterplay. How to think like the enemy? Think of corporate spying. It's one of the actual problems of a billion-dollar company. Do you really think that's the only one? No, think again. Your data might be ex-target.
Speaker 2:We have espionage in everyday life. We have personal data theft, like LinkedIn scrapping incidents. We have employees unknowingly leaking information on social media and then we have to ask ourselves should I start protecting myself or my business? And the answer is always yes. So what can you do? Well, avoid discussing work matters in public or in unsecured communication channels like I don't know your Facebook Messenger. I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2:You can use VPNs and encrypted messaging for confidential business discussions, like IP I think it was IP shadow ban or IP banning. I will look it up because I completely forgot about it and you can also use ProtonMail. Protonmail is pretty good it's encrypted, secure and it's beautiful. You can also recognize social engineering tactics in emails and in phone calls. So have you ever received a strange email asking for company details? You might have been targeted without even realizing.
Speaker 2:This happened to me, believe it or not, yesterday, where somebody was actually offering me a job at a particularly high level within the government and I was like there's no hiring happening right now, so why am I being targeted with this? So I went along with it. I gave them a little leeway. I actually encouraged the email exchange and everything because I wanted to see how many people were going to target me right after that. So as soon as I saw it and I started seeing the misspells and the actual communication, I was like shut it down, so then they'll thank you. I appreciate it Blocked, everybody Done and that's it.
Speaker 2:So where is the actual future of espionage With AI, quantum computing and cyber warfare? Evolving espionage is about to get even. The rise of AI is actually giving power to spying. Ai surveillance, tracking movements and communications and deepfake technology are manipulating public perception. The future of espionage is quantum computing, making current encryption methods obsolete. Governments are investing billions in cyber offense capabilities. This might even be, for some of you who are listening right now, an actual business possibility, because if you have the techniques and you have the actual, proper I don't know resume the proper skills to actually counter this, then here you are, you have a business right here for you, and my question is will there ever be an end to espionage? I don't think so.
Speaker 2:There are always ethical debates happening on digital privacy and versus national security and the ongoing arms race between defensive cyber security and espionage tactics. Just imagine a world where privacy no longer exists, where every conversation, transaction and idea is monitored. Are we already there? It's a little wishy-washy, right, because we know that the government is listening. We know that people are actually sitting down paying attention to everything we do, saying how we transact. Is it happening right now under this administration? I don't know. I hope not, but we have only been not even a month. This administration has been in place, so we can't really say yes or no. If they were doing the same thing with usa id, if they were doing the same thing with every single entity that they have been doing for the past four years and we're just starting to hear about all the garbage that's going on then more than likely they are. So take care of yourself and start doing what is right for you and your family.
Speaker 2:Did you like this kind of content? I hope you did. I really really hope you did, and please share this. If you see what is happening, comment below. What do you think is the real play here? I want to hear actual engagement when it comes to tell me what would you do, what would you say, how would you do it? Give me some pointers. If some of you are actually cybersecurity professionals, I will sincerely appreciate your feedback, because we need to let everybody know within our ex, within our actual, every single kind of social media account, that we are looking out for them, and that's what we're here to do.
Speaker 2:This has been the War Room Report which is basically replacing the inside, the enemy's mind and the actual thing. Like the enemy deep dives. It's basically espionage, like I told you we were going to do about it. I apologize for not having it last week super sick. I'm doing a little bit better. You can hear me a little weird in my my voice, but we're managing, the family's doing great. So thank you so much for all those of you who actually knew about it and were actually asking. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2:So the war room report is going to break down. You know the espionage like never before and it is always going to be. We're going to dive super deep into it. I just wanted to give you the rundown and then we're going to get into the actual details. That's why some of you might be thinking like, okay, hey, this is a little big, but at least I got some pointers here. We're building up to something better and we're going to continue to do that. The next episode we have going on is going to be on friday, where we're going to deep dive on our news. We're going to do something a little bit different. I'm going to try to piece it together in a way that is actually beneficial for you and for everybody else that is watching and listening. So remember, stay aware, stay informed, stay ahead and always think like the enemy. I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for watching. Thank you so much for listening.
