In this podcast guest host Patrick Gray and Tom Uren talk about a CISA and NSA advisory that lists the 10 most common network misconfigurations they. It’s 101-level stuff and is particularly sobering because CISA and NSA don’t look at run of the mill networks, they look at important ones. CISA thinks part of the problem is vendors that make insecure-by-default products.

They also talk about a new Five Eyes security intelligence leader summit that warns of PRC intellectual property theft.

Srsly Risky Biz: The EU needs to grow a political spine on spyware

In this podcast guest host Patrick Gray and Tom Uren talk about research that discovered that EU-based spyware was being used to target EU and US officials. Will that encourage EU governments to take action against spyware?

They also discuss Belgian concerns that the PRC will take advantage of a Chinese logistics firm with a hub in Liège for espionage.

Finally, they discuss whether hacktivists will follow International Humanitarian Law (IHL or the Rules of Law) rules about hactivism in wartime. Almost certainly not, but Tom still thinks its worth talking about and promoting responsible behaviour.
