Description:

In this week’s show, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, joined by a special guest. BBC World Cyber Correspondent Joe Tidy is a long time listener and he pops in for a ride-along in the news segment plus a chat about his new book.

This week news includes:

  • Did the US cyber Venezuela’s power grid, or do they just want us to think they coulda?
  • US govt might boycott the RSAC Conference ‘cause Jen Easterly being CEO makes them mad
  • MS Patch Tuesday fixes CVSS5.5 bug and … stops you shutting down
  • Wiz pulls off cloud stunt hack that ends with control of everyone’s AWS console
  • Millions of Bluetooth devices that use Google’s Fast Pairing will pair with anyone, any time
  • GNU inet-tools’ telnetd parties like it’s 2007, and brings -f root unauthed remote login back

Thinkst is this week’s sponsor, and long time friend of the show Haroon Meer joins. As always they’re polishing their Canary tokens - adding breadcrumbs to lead you to them - but they’re also a bunch of giant nerds who now run South Africa’s Computer Olympiad.
