On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s security news, including:
- Why the White House’s cybersecurity strategy is actually quite good
- The LastPass breach was probably DPRK
- UEFI bootkits are going downmarket, and this is bad
- GitHub will scan repos for secrets
- A look at some interesting DJI drone research
- Much, much more
This week’s show is brought to you by Airlock Digital. Two of Airlock’s founders – Daniel Schell and David Cottingham – are this week’s sponsor guests.
