Risky Business News

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about Apple’s refusal to obey a UK government order to provide the capability to access to encrypted iCloud data. Its the latest round in the ongoing government vs technology fights over warrant-proof encryption, and again it looks like governments will lose.

They also talk about good news in the fight against ransomware. Government actions are putting pressure on the cyber criminal ecosystem, splintering groups and even making it hard to for crooks to convert cryptocurrency to hard cash.

Risky Bulletin: Insight Partners discloses security breach

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the idea of launching a retaliatory campaign to hack Chinese telcos in response to Salt Typhoon’s targeting of US ones. US Senator Mark Warner floated the idea as a way to persuade the Chinese government to pull back Salt Typhoon, but we think that kind of campaign has merit regardless.

They also discuss how Samoa’s CERT calling out APT40 is a big deal. It’s striking to see a small country of 200,000 people calling out Chinese hacking.

Between Two Nerds: Hacking's first principles

Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss Trump’s order singling out Chris Krebs, former head of CISA, that requires investigations into Krebs and also punishes his employer. It is a move deliberately designed to chill dissent and they look at what the cyber security industry will likely do in response, which is probably not much.

The pair also discuss what is being interpreted as an admission that Chinese senior leadership is behind the Volt Typhoon hacking of US critical infrastructure.
