Wrap of weekly news and closing remarks

In this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:

• The KK Park scam compound in Myanmar gets blasted with actual dynamite
• China sentences more scammers TO DEATH
• While Singapore is opting to lash them with the cane
• Chinese security firm KnownSec leaks a bunch of documents
• Necromancy continues on NSO Group, with a Trump associate in charge
• OWASP freshens up the Top 10, you won’t believe what’s number three!

This week’s episode is sponsored by Thinkst Canary. Big bird Haroon Meer joins and, as usual, makes a good point. If you’re going to trust a vendor to do something risky like put a box on your network, they have an obligation to explain how they make that safe. Thinkst has a /security page that does exactly that. So why do we let Palo Alto and Fortinet get away with “trust me, bro”?

This episode is also available on Youtube.
