This week's show is another shorter one! I've been sick so I just couldn't pull together a feature interview.
We've also got a chat with this week's sponsor guest Chris Gatford of the Australian security consulting firm HackLabs.
We chat to Chris about the whole Spamhaus DDoS disaster. How damaging is it when the world's media distracts business and government leaders with stuff like this? What *should* these leaders really be concerned with?
