Show notes
In this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including: The KK Park scam compound in Myanmar gets blasted with actual dynamite China sentences more scammers TO DEATH While Singapore is opting to lash them with the cane Chinese security firm KnownSec leaks a bunch of documents Necromancy continues on NSO Group, with a Trump associate in charge OWASP freshens up the Top 10, you won’t believe what’s number three! This week’s episode is sponsored by Thinkst Canary. Big bird Haroon Meer joins and, as usual, makes a good point. If you’re going to trust a vendor to do something risky like put a box on your network, they have an obligation to explain how they make that safe. Thinkst has a /security page that does exactly that. So why do we let Palo Alto and Fortinet get away with “trust me, bro”? This episode is also available on Youtube.
