Risky Business #781 -- How Bybit oopsied $1.4bn

Listen Later

On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news:

  • North Korea pulls off a 1.5 billion dollar crypto heist
  • Apple pulls Advanced Data Protection from the UK
  • Black Basta ransomware gang’s internal chats leak
  • Russians snoop on Signal with QR codes
  • And Myanmar ships thousands of freed scam compound workers to Thailand

    • Regular guest Lina Lau joins to discuss her work reading Chinese incident response reports on WeChat, and how that has people thinking that … she outed the NSA?

    This week’s episode is sponsored by Airlock Digital, and allow-listing tragics Daniel Schell and David Cottingham are along with an amusing tale of using Windows’ own allow-listing software to block EDR from loading.

    This episode is also available on Youtube.
