Episode description

On this week’s podcast Dick O’Brien is joined by threat researchers Candid Wueest and Brigid O Gorman to discuss the biggest cyber security stories of the week. We take a look at the newly-discovered Xbash malware family and what it can do, as well as discussing the first case of its kind where a man was convicted and imprisoned for writing fake reviews on TripAdvisor. Also, we look at some recent hacks against blockchain casinos, and speculate on the likely perpetrators behind DDoS attacks on UK university networks.
