On this week’s show Patrick and Adam discuss the week’s security news, including:

  • Russia, China, Iran having a red hot go at US political orgs
  • Crowdstrike drops report, telcos having a bad time
  • MSS owning US government with dumb bugs
  • DoJ indicts Iranian script kiddie because reasons
  • Proposed TikTok-Oracle deal barely makes sense
  • The mother of all Microsoft auth bugs, wow
  • Much, much more…

This week’s show is brought to you by Senetas. And we’ve got two sponsor guests for you this week: Senetas CTO Julian Fay will join us, as will Peter Farrely of AUCloud. Senetas uses AUCloud as a partner for its Suredrop file sharing and collaboration platform here in Oz, and Pete is joining us this week to talk through the new Cloud Assessment and Authorisation Framework published by the ACSC. If you work in Australian government IT and security, this one’s for you!
