Risky Business #814 -- It's a bad time to be a scam compound operator
Presented by
Technology Editor
CEO and Publisher
In this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
- The KK Park scam compound in Myanmar gets blasted with actual dynamite
- China sentences more scammers TO DEATH
- While Singapore is opting to lash them with the cane
- Chinese security firm KnownSec leaks a bunch of documents
- Necromancy continues on NSO Group, with a Trump associate in charge
- OWASP freshens up the Top 10, you won’t believe what’s number three!
This week’s episode is sponsored by Thinkst Canary. Big bird Haroon Meer joins and, as usual, makes a good point. If you’re going to trust a vendor to do something risky like put a box on your network, they have an obligation to explain how they make that safe. Thinkst has a /security page that does exactly that. So why do we let Palo Alto and Fortinet get away with “trust me, bro”?
This episode is also available on Youtube.
