In this podcast Patrick Gray talks to Tom Uren about the recently released US National Cyber Security Strategy. Tom really likes it because it sets out how the US will “win” by reshaping who is liable when crapware hits the fan. It’s got other stuff in it too…

Tom and Pat also discuss the story of an MSS agent being busted when trying to steal intellectual property from the aviation industry. He used the same iphone for both his personal life and his spying and his iCloud backups were an intelligence bonanza. These backups not only had messages to potential recruits, they also had had audio of meetings he’d recorded where he was discussing his approach to espionage.

Finally, we talk about the security risks that arise from the use of Chinese ship-to-shore cranes at ports. Apparently these are chock full of sensors and could be spying on port logistics.

In this podcast Patrick Gray talks to Tom Uren about Signal’s vow to pull out of the UK if the proposed Online Safety Bill requires it to weaken its encryption.

Tom and Patrick agree that end-to-end encryption isn’t at stake, but Signal could well be asked what steps it is taking to mitigate child exploitation and terrorist content. Patrick thinks there are useful steps Signal could take that would be helpful, but both Tom and Pat find it hard to imagine that Signal will actually make these choices.

They also discuss the US government floating the idea of shifting legal liability to technology manufacturers when they make terribly insecure products. Tom thinks this is an attractive idea, but the government would be better off doing much more to encourage transparency first.
