On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news:
- Oracle quietly cops to being hacked, but immediately pivots into pretending it didn’t matter
- NSA and CyberCom leaders fired for not being MAGA enough
- US Treasury had some dusty corners it hadn’t found China in yet, looked, found China in them
- …which is a great time to discuss slashing CISA’s staffing
- Ransomware crews and bullet proof hosting providers are getting rekt, and we love it
- And Microsoft patches yet another logging 0-day being used in the wild.
This episode is sponsored by Yubico, makers of Yubikey hardware authentication tokens. Yubico’s Vice President of Solutions Architecture and Alliances Derek Hanson joins to discuss how the consumer-centric passkey ecosystem has become a real challenge for enterprises. One that Yubico is actually ideally positioned to solve.
