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

Russia’s disinformation peddlers face multifaceted sternness from the DoJ
Telegram is now law enforcement’s bestest new pal, all of a sudden
Iran’s banking industry arranges a payment plan for a ransom
Columbia investigates how it sent private jets full of cash to pay for Pegasus
Microsoft innovates with Un-Patch Tuesday
And much, much more.

This week’s sponsor is Kroll Cyber, and one of their incident responders Paul Wells joins to discuss that one weird trick that actually helps - preparing for an incident before hand, rather than learning all those hard lessons in the middle of a crisis.

This week’s episode is also available on Youtube.
