Risky Bulletin: Russia arrests Meduza Stealer group

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about Peter Williams, the general manager of vulnerability research firm Trenchant, who has pleaded guilty to selling exploits to the Russian 0day broker Operation Zero. It’s a terrible look, but it doesn’t mean the private sector can’t be trusted to develop exploits.

They also discuss a new report’s recommendations to empower the Office of the National Cyber Director. It’s a good idea, but it won’t make up for the cuts in funding and personnel across the Trump administration’s cyber portfolio.

This episode is also available on Youtube.

Risky Bulletin: WSUS bug under attack

In this sponsored podcast Patrick Gray chats with Knocknoc CEO Adam Pointon about why true Zero Trust architectures never really got there. Spinning up ZTNA access to core applications and slapping SSO prompts on everything else is great, but if we’re honest, it’s not really Zero Trust. So, how and why did we get here?

Risky Bulletin: iOS 26 change deletes clues of old spyware infections

They also talk about how the ransomware ecosystem is splintering, and one operator’s relatively quick journey from being an affiliate to a platform operator.
