On this week's show we're chatting with Mark Dowd and Brian Krebs about Oracle CSO Mary Ann Davidson's somewhat odd blog post from earlier this week. In the post she laid into security researchers for violating Oracle's EULA when reverse engineering their products. The post got pulled, much drama, we sift through the ashes of that. Plus we chat to Brian about the daring $46.7m online heist against Ubiquiti Networks.
This week's show is brought to you by BugCrowd. But in this week's sponsor interview we're not chatting with a BugCrowd representative, we're speaking to one of its customers instead. Paul Moreno from Pinterest drops by to talk about his experience in operating a bug bounty through an outsourced provider.
Adam Boileau, as always, joins the show to discuss the week's news headlines.
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.
