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




  • Oracle quietly cops to being hacked, but immediately pivots into pretending it didn’t matter

  • NSA and CyberCom leaders fired for not being MAGA enough

  • US Treasury had some dusty corners it hadn’t found China in yet, looked, found China in them

  • …which is a great time to discuss slashing CISA’s staffing

  • Ransomware crews and bullet proof hosting providers are getting rekt, and we love it

  • And Microsoft patches yet another logging 0-day being used in the wild.
