Risky Business #374 -- Anti-Flash sentiment sweeps the globe

Anti Flashitism the new black...
16 Jul 2015 » Risky Business

On this week's show we'll be checking in with Richard Forno on the fallout from the OPM breach. Richard has been kicking around in DC infosec circles for a long time now and he let's us know what the mood is like inside the beltway.

In this week's sponsor interview we chat with Chris Gatford of HackLabs! HackLabs is an Australia-based pentesting and consulting firm and we're speaking to Chris about the changing nature of security consultancies.

Adam Boileau, as usual, joins the show to discuss the week's news, which has been dominated by calls for the axing of the Flash plugin and the continued fallout from the Hacking Team breach.

Don't forget you can now support the Risky Business page via our Patreon campaign.

Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
