I love the difference between the last two questions!
What would be your no1 security tip?
(I’m going to exclude password safety as an option as I think that’s too obvious)

One last one from me: what’s the biggest security issue you’ve come across, why is it social engineering and what can be done to combat it?
Just a few more questions from me too before you go:
Some favourites:
We do hope to give back to the open source community at some point soon. I’m writing a tool which analysis phishing kits and gives back some good data which could be deemed useful. As soon as this is perfected, I’ll make this open source
Never in the fridge, is this a thing?!
Yeah for people who want a nice snap to their chocolate and not a half melted mess
Great question! The NCSC did publish guidance / recommendations regarding the cyber threat level due to the ongoing crises. These recommendations were practices which we’ve always aligned with so the article didn’t cause a lot of panic.
Invest in an antivirus malware seems to be on the rise just now and there’s been some recently serious zero days happening such as Log4Shell, Spring4Shell and others. Businesses are most impacted but what makes me anxious is the use of botnets originating from home networks.
How did you know it would be social engineering?
You’re correct, social engineering does cause a lot of concern within the security industry and it’s often used by attackers to gain access to networks. Threat actors are very smart in the way they social engineer folk and the tactics they use are pretty sophisticated and even the best of us could be tricked!
For me whats crucial here is intelligence gathering. It’s important to know what the current threat is, what techniques are being used and how we can detect and stop the threat.
Not just at Monzo but in general a key part of mitigating the risk is around company based awareness / training aimed at social engineering.
I love the enthusiasm
Objective-See have some decent open source products
