This week's podcast looks at a few interesting topics. Apparently the bad guys are about to ditch IRC as a command and control channel for botnets and start using RSS, blogs and steganography to communicate with their zombie armies... sneakily!

This week's edition of Risky Business is brought to you by the folks at the big Yellow Box -- Symantec! Big thanks also go out to Vigabyte for providing the bandwidth for the podcast. On this week's show:

This is the last full-format Risky Business podcast for 2007. Next week we'll be bringing you some Kiwicon talks and lectures. It's a summer listening vibe, people.

Risky Business returns to normal programming today. Patrick Gray is back from his holiday in the tropics and he's feeling just dandy, thanks for asking.

This is the last short-format podcast before Patrick Gray returns from his holiday. On this week's show a heavily-accented Eugene Kaspersky, founder of Kaspersky anti-virus, discusses government malware. Would he allow a government force his company to stop detecting Trojans designed to snoop on criminals and terrorists?

This week's Risky Business is a special panel, recorded at Microsoft's Tech Ed conference on the Gold Coast. There are no news headlines or sponsor interviews this week, just the panel. Joining us on the Tech Ed panel are:

It's a short show this week, and you'll notice Risky Business will be a bit trimmed down over coming weeks.
