Intro

On this week’s show, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the weeks security news, including:

• Brazil’s supreme court bans X-formerly-Twitter,
• Iranian cyber teams cooperate with ransomware crews
• While North Koreans wield chrome-windows 0-day
• Yubikey cloning attack is impressive, but doesn’t have us binning our keys quite yet
• The White House is coming for your unsigned BGP announcements
• And much, much more.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Okta, and specifically their Identity Security Posture Management product. Okta recently acquired Spera Security, and co-founder Ariel Kadyshevitch joins to talk through the messy reality of modern identity. Pat even gets the giggles at how terrible everything is!
