In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss the wild story of a Chinese illegal gambling operation that involves human trafficking, shell companies, money laundering, hundreds of thousands of websites and sponsorship of European football teams.

They also talk about why a potential CSRB review of CrowdStrike’s disaster should focus… not on CrowdStrike, but instead on the legacy practice of security vendors having kernel-level access to Windows.

Finally, Tom is happy that the FTC is going to investigate ‘surveillance pricing’.

The Risky Biz main show returns from a break to the traditional internet-melting mess that happens whenever Patrick Gray takes a holiday. Pat and Adam Boileau talk through the week’s security news, including:

• Oh Crowdstrike, no, oh no, honey, no
• AT&T stored call records on Snowflake and you’ll never guess what happened next
• Squarespace buys Google Domains and makes a hash of it
• Some but not all of the SECs case against Solarwinds gets thrown out
• Pity the incident responders digging through a terabyte of Disney Slack dumps
• Internet Explorer rises from the grave, and it wants SHELLS RAAAAARGH SSHHEEELLLS
• And much, much more.
