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

Apple frustrates law enforcement with iOS auto-reboot
CISA says most KEV vulnerabilities in 2023 were first used as zero days
Russians roll incident response on some sweet Linux spookware
Regular users can create mailboxes in M365?
Tor tracks down the source of its joe-job abuse complaints
And much, much more.

This week’s feature guest is former FBI agent Chris Tarbell, who arrested Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht way back in 2013. As suggestions swirl that an incoming Trump administration might release Ulbricht, Chris talks about the reality of the Dread Pirate Roberts.

This episode is sponsored by software supply chain security firm Socket.dev. Founder Feross Aboukhadijeh thinks that we need a CVE-like catalogue for supply-chain attacks, and he makes a solid argument.

The show is also available on Youtube.
