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

The FTC decides its time to take another look at Microsoft
Exxon’s opponents targeted by hackers
Russian hackers keep getting sentenced and it confuses us
The Feds recommend Signal, because throwing hackers out of telcos ain’t gonna happen
A South Korean set-top-box manufacturer shipped a DDoS client for corpo-combat
And much, much more.

This week’s sponsor interview with Vijit Nair from Corelight. We talk to him about doing detection in cloud environments, and how the varied nature of cloud systems makes the old ways - network monitoring - useful in new and interesting ways.

If you’re in Sydney, Pat is recording a live episode of the Wide World of Cyber with Chris Krebs on 5 December. There might still be tickets left!

This episode is also available on Youtube.
