The Risky Biz main show returns from a break to the traditional internet-melting mess that happens whenever Patrick Gray takes a holiday. Pat and Adam Boileau talk through the week’s security news, including:

Oh Crowdstrike, no, oh no, honey, no
AT&T stored call records on Snowflake and you’ll never guess what happened next
Squarespace buys Google Domains and makes a hash of it
Some but not all of the SECs case against Solarwinds gets thrown out
Pity the incident responders digging through a terabyte of Disney Slack dumps
Internet Explorer rises from the grave, and it wants SHELLS RAAAAARGH SSHHEEELLLS
And much, much more.

This week’s show is brought to you by Sublime Security, a flexible and modern email security platform. If you’re sick of using a black box email security solution, Sublime is a terrific option for you.
