Risky Business #799 -- Everyone's Sharepoint gets shelled
Presented by
Technology Editor
CEO and Publisher
Risky Biz returns after two weeks off, and there sure is cybersecurity news to catch up on. Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss:
- Microsoft tried to make outsourcing the Pentagon’s cloud maintenance to China okay (it was not)
- She shells Sharepoint by the sea-shore (by ‘she’ we mean ‘China’)
- Four (alleged) Scattered Spider members arrested (and bailed) in the UK
- Hackers spend $2700 to buy creds for a Brazilian payment system, steal $100M
- Fortinet has SQLI in the auth header, Citrix mem leak is weaponised, HP hardcodes creds and Sonicwalls get user-moderootkits. Just security vendor things!
This week’s episode is sponsored by Airlock Digital. CEO David Cottingham talks through what it takes to build a mature, resilient management platform for a security critical system.
This episode is also available on Youtube.
