Risky Business #380 -- AshMad fallout: Attackers doxed, suicides and mayhem

PLUS all your regular news...
27 Aug 2015 » Risky Business

On this week's show we look at the fallout from the Ashley Madison attack. Did Brian Krebs just dox the Impact Team ringleader? Is he Australian?

Adam Boileau and I talk about all the AshMad fallout and other infosec news.

This week's show is brought to you by RSA. And in this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with RSA's Brett Williams about vendor trends; looking at the big endpoint push of 2015. I also picked his brain on the SIEM vs full packet capture/big data approach.

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.
