In this podcast Patrick Gray and Tom Uren about proposed changes to the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act. Some pundits are saying the changes will clear the way for the government to prevent tech companies from rolling out security patches. They’re wrong.

They also look at a new Mandiant report that dives deeper into a recent Chinese group’s campaign that compromised Barracuda Email Security Gateways. The report provides a wonderful overview of the campaign.
