On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the news we missed while on break. Because it’s the first show of the year, we split the discussion into themes:

  • Attacks against critical online services like Okta, CircleCI, Slack and Lastpass will increase in volume
  • All the latest global intrigue, from NSO being noped by the US Supreme Court to DDoS attacks in Serbia, Turla’s latest campaign, supply chain attacks against Ukraine, why Russia has been more active than we realised and much more
  • A ransomware wrap, a discussion about the rise of data extortion and why it’s unlikely to remain a huge problem
  • Why automotive security research will actually be interesting this year
  • PLUS: A bunch of random news!

This week’s show is brought to you by Trail of Bits. Dan Guido is this week’s sponsor guest and he joins us to talk about something they’ve developed – a zero knowledge proof of exploit technique. Very interesting stuff!

Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Mastodon if that’s your thing.
