Risky Business #415 -- Lauri Love talks extradition

We also cover "the thing"...
10 Jun 2016 » Risky Business

On this week's show we're chatting with Lauri Love. Lauri is an activist facing extradition to the United States where prosecutors hope to charge him with a raft of offences relating to attacks against US government computers... he'll tell us about what's going on with his extradition hearing and why he really, really doesn't want to go to the USA.

This week's show is sponsored by Tenable Network Security, big thanks to them. If you're looking for some vulnerability scanning and management software you really should talk to Tenable!

In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Chris Cleary. He's a director of business development at Tenable. His focus is on the US federal government, so we'll be chatting to him about the fallout from the OPM breach, one year on. There have been some significant changes to the way things are done, Chris says, but it's too soon to see if they'll pan out as intended.

Adam Boileau, as always, stops by to discuss the week's news headlines.

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