Adam and I have just returned from Black Hat and DEF CON in Las Vegas, so in this weekâs show weâre going to have a look at the infosec news we missed over last couple of weeks. We did plan to recap Black Hat in this podcast, but weâve wound up a bit short on space so Iâm busting that out into a separate podcast that Iâll publish on Monday. So this podcast will just be a discussion around news plus a sponsor interview.
The news weâre covering:
Australiaâs new surveillance/âanti-encryptionâ laws
Intel SGX vulnerability research
Taiwan Semiconductor WannaCry woes
Details on CYBERCOM op against ISIS
Reddit pwnage
Bitcoin investor sues AT&T over $23m loss
FIN7 arrests
CIAâs loss of scores of China assets may have been hack-related
Massive ATM cashout and SWIFT attack hits Indian bank
Much, much more
Bugcrowd CTO Casey Ellis joins us in this weekâs sponsor interview to talk about a few things â firstly, how some research presented at Black Hat by the team at Portswigger is a sign that serious research teams are using bounties to cash in on their serious security research. Then weâll be talking about the Bugcrowd University initiative and a reboot of the disclose.io project.
