Risky Business #747 -- Lockbit Leader Has A Very Bad Day

Listen Later

Patrick dials in from RSA in San Francisco to discuss the week’s security news with Adam, including:

  • The west doxxes LockbitSupp, who must now hide his hundred million dollars
  • Revil hacker behind Kasaya breach gets 14 years
  • Microsoft makes some positive sounding* noises on security
  • A fun flaw in nearly all VPN clients
  • Gitlab admins continue their never-ending incident response
  • And much, much more.

    • This week’s sponsor is Stairwell. Long time infosec researcher Silas Cutler joins us to talk through his adventures in attacker C2 systems, and how this feeds into Stairwell’s data.

    * we’re still sceptical they’ll get it right, but they do at least seem to realise how deep the doo-doo they’re in is… Pat speculates they have … tentacles, and a regulatory-threat-gland.
