Presented by

Technology Editor
On this week’s show, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the weeks security news, including:
- Russia’s disinformation peddlers face multifaceted sternness from the DoJ
- Telegram is now law enforcement’s bestest new pal, all of a sudden
- Iran’s banking industry arranges a payment plan for a ransom
- Columbia investigates how it sent private jets full of cash to pay for Pegasus
- Microsoft innovates with Un-Patch Tuesday
- And much, much more.
This week’s sponsor is Kroll Cyber, and one of their incident responders Paul Wells joins to discuss that one weird trick that actually helps - preparing for an incident before hand, rather than learning all those hard lessons in the middle of a crisis.
This week’s episode is also available on Youtube.
