Risky Business returns for 2026! Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau talk through the week’s cybersecurity news, including:

  • Santa brings hackers MongoDB memory leaks for Christmas
  • Vercel pays out a million bucks to improve its React2Shell WAF defences
  • 39C3 delivers; the pink Power Ranger deletes nazis, while a catgirl ruins GnuPG
  • Cambodian scam compound kingpin gets extradited to China, and we don’t think it’ll go well for him
  • Krebs picks apart the Kimwolf botnet and residential proxy networks
  • So many healthcare data leaks that we have a roundup section

This week’s episode is sponsored by Airlock Digital. The founders of the application allow-listing vendor, David Cottingham and Daniel Schell, discuss Microsoft’s ClickOnce .NET app packaging, and how attackers have been abusing it to load code. Airlock hates it when you load code!
