In a digital world where "copy-paste" is the default setting, what content is legally protected and what isn't? From AI-generated imagery to the hidden licensing traps of stock photos, businesses are unknowingly sitting on, or infringing upon, massive intellectual property (IP) risks.



Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi from Halim Hong & Quek join Tech Talk to discuss the current state of Malaysian copyright law, break down why the "IP by Design" philosophy is the only way to protect your business, and the legal grey areas of AI-generated content, which current looks to be not a copyright.



Tune in to find out:


The AI Ownership Crisis: Why content purely generated by Gemini or ChatGPT might lack legal protection, and the "untested" threshold for human authorship in AI-assisted work.


Idea vs. Expression: The critical legal boundary, why you can’t copyright a "good idea," but you can copyright the second it’s written down.


The Enforcement Playbook: When to send a C&D—and when takedowns actually work


The Hidden Risk: Why “anything online is free” could cost your business


The IP-by-Design Strategy: How to protect assets before they’re exposed


The Scraping Shield: How digital creators can use robots.txt as a technical signal to opt-out of AI model training.

Artemis II saw the first manned mission to the moon in over 50 years and flew its crew further into space than any human has ever gone before. 



But with so many seemingly intractable issues here on planet earth, are missions to the moon a waste of resources that could be better used elsewhere? Matt and Kishan examine the case for space exploration, manned missions and look at the true ROI of space travel.

MSP361. The Trouble With Toilets And Other Space Tales

Cybersecurity has hit a crisis of speed. In 2025, the average e-crime breakout time plummeted to 29 minutes, a 65% increase in speed from 2024, with the fastest recorded intrusion occurring in a staggering 27 seconds. Fabio Fratucello, Field CTO World Wide at CrowdStrike, joins Tech Talk to break down how "cloud-conscious" adversaries are exploiting trusted identity flows and supply chains to bypass traditional defenses. From a 563% surge in malicious fake CAPTCHA pages to the targeting of Malaysian logistics, we audit the tactics of nation-state actors and the necessary shift toward autonomous, agentic security operations.



Tune In To Find Out:



The 29-Minute Average: Why the speed of e-crime increased 65% from 2024, with the fastest recorded breach taking only 27 seconds.


The CAPTCHA Trap: Why fake verification pages saw a 563% surge as a way to trick users into executing code without triggering malware alerts.


AI-Powered Phishing: Why AI-generated social engineering is now more successful and authentic than human-written lures.


Identity as a Key: Why 82% of detections are now malware-free, as adversaries use "digital keys" to log in undetected.


Targeting Malaysia: Why the global (including Malaysia) logistics sector saw an 85% spike in attacks, alongside a 30% increase in telecommunications.


China Nexus Threats: Why nation-state adversaries in APAC are shifting toward long-term intellectual property theft rather than quick ransomware gains.


Cloud Consciousness: Why intrusions into cloud environments rose 37% as adversaries specialize in abusing SAS integrations.

29-Minute Breaches, Fake CAPTCHAs, & AI Phishing

AI-generated junk is flooding feeds, harvesting eyeballs and minting money in the process. 



Kishan Sivaswamy and Matt Armitage look at the business of brainrot and slop; the cheap, displosable machine-generated content that is increasingly dominating our social and streaming platforms. And ask a simple question: can we survive the slop?
