Risky Business #763 – Microsoft un-patches critical bug

Listen Later

On this week’s show, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the weeks security news, including:

  • Russia’s disinformation peddlers face multifaceted sternness from the DoJ
  • Telegram is now law enforcement’s bestest new pal, all of a sudden
  • Iran’s banking industry arranges a payment plan for a ransom
  • Columbia investigates how it sent private jets full of cash to pay for Pegasus
  • Microsoft innovates with Un-Patch Tuesday
  • And much, much more.

    • This week’s sponsor is Kroll Cyber, and one of their incident responders Paul Wells joins to discuss that one weird trick that actually helps - preparing for an incident before hand, rather than learning all those hard lessons in the middle of a crisis.

    This week’s episode is also available on Youtube.
