About this episode
This episode discusses significant cybersecurity events including Microsoft's actions against malware, law enforcement's dismantling of a VPN service, and vulnerabilities in Linux and GitHub.
This episode covers Microsoft shutting down a malware signing operation that weaponized their own trust systems, law enforcement dismantling a VPN service used by ransomware gangs, and a nine-year-old Linux kernel vulnerability that somehow stayed hidden in plain sight. Adrian also digs into GitHub's employee device compromise and what it means when the tools built to protect us become the very things attackers exploit.
