On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
- Oracle’s long term CSO departs, and we’re not that sad about it
- Canada’s House of Commons gets popped through a Microsoft bug
- Russia degrades voice calls via Whatsapp and Telegram to push people towards Max
- South-East Asian scam compounds are also behind child sextortion
- Reports that the UK has backed down on Apple crypto are… strange

This week’s episode is sponsored by open source identity provider Authentik. CEO Fletcher Heisler joins the show this week, and explains the journey of implementing SSO backed login on Windows, Mac and Linux.
