Regular cybersecurity news updates from the Risky Business team...

Risky Business News

UPDATED AUDIO: An earlier version of this podcast audio contained an editing mistake that desynchronised Patrick and Tom’s audio.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the cyber espionage implications of Chinese AI firm DeepSeek’s recently released models. They will certainly be picked up by various APT crews to try and accelerate their campaigns.

They also discuss the UK NCSC’s attempt to quantify ‘comedy bugs’ and whether EU sanctions against Russian military intelligence officers for a five-year-old cyber espionage campaign targeting Estonia are pointless.

Between Two Nerds: A Paragon of virtue

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about Apple’s refusal to obey a UK government order to provide the capability to access to encrypted iCloud data. Its the latest round in the ongoing government vs technology fights over warrant-proof encryption, and again it looks like governments will lose.

They also talk about good news in the fight against ransomware. Government actions are putting pressure on the cyber criminal ecosystem, splintering groups and even making it hard to for crooks to convert cryptocurrency to hard cash.

Risky Bulletin: Insight Partners discloses security breach

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the idea of launching a retaliatory campaign to hack Chinese telcos in response to Salt Typhoon’s targeting of US ones. US Senator Mark Warner floated the idea as a way to persuade the Chinese government to pull back Salt Typhoon, but we think that kind of campaign has merit regardless.

They also discuss how Samoa’s CERT calling out APT40 is a big deal. It’s striking to see a small country of 200,000 people calling out Chinese hacking.
