Intellexa founder jailed over spyware scandal

On this week’s show, Patrick Gray, Adam Boileau and James WIlson discuss the week’s cybersecurity news. They cover:

• The US-Israeli attack on Iran had a whole lot of cyber. It’s clearly in the playbook now!
• The NSA Triangulation / L3 Harris Trenchant iOS exploit kit is on the loose, and being used by Chinese crypto scammers
• So long Maddhu Gottumukkala, but CISA’s annus horribilis continues
• Adam “humbug” Boileau complains about the Airsnitch wifi attack just being three ethernets in a trenchcoat
• ASD’s Cisco SD-WAN threat hunting guide is clearly borne of … experience

This week’s episode is sponsored by AI threat hunting platform Nebulock. Sydney Marrone joins to talk about how useful AI models are on the hunt, and her work building out an open source framework and maturity model. It’s methodology agnostic, so you can adapt it for your environment, and the github link is in the show notes!

This episode is also available on Youtube.
