Adam Boileau is along this week to discuss the week’s security news. We cover:

  • Zoom’s week from hell
  • BA, Marriott face massive GDPR fines
  • Seth Rich conspiracy originated from Russia’s SVR
  • Coast Guard warns of ship hax
  • Cybercommand issues warning on DDE exploitation
  • PGP ecosystem having a rough time
  • Much, much more!

This week’s show is brought to you by our lovely friends at Signal Sciences. I guess you’d call them a next generation WAF. Signal Sciences co-founder and CTO Zane Lackey will be along in this week’s sponsor interview to plug their new cloud-based WAF product, and also to have a chat about a trend he’s seeing at non-security conferences – more high quality security content.

Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing.
