We also have an impromptu Amazon delivery of a pink microphone and ponder the most important question to date: have Spurs ever won the top flight title?     Hosts: Raj Samani – @Raj_Samani Lee Munson – @Security_FAQs Guests: Christiaan Beek – @ChristiaanBeek John Fokker - @John_Fokker Report: Ryuk Ransomware Attack: Rush to Attribution Misses the Point Mon, 14 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/235954/918878-komrade-cyber-3-ryuk.mp3?blob_id=1736286 https://www.buzzsprout.com/235954/906225-komrade-cyber-2-shamoon.mp3?blob_id=1675994 In the second episode of Komrade Cyber, we take a look at a new wave of the Shamoon 'wiper' malware that has targeted companies in the Middle East and Europe, as a new version emerges as a standalone threat. We also have a smoothly-spoken computer-generated poem from Christiaan Beek and a quick discussion about how Liverpool are going to win the English Premier League title.  Hosts: Raj Samani – @Raj_Samani Lee Munson – @Security_FAQs Guests: Christiaan Beek – @ChristiaanBeek Thomas Roccia - @fr0gger_ Report: Shamoon Attackers Employ New Toolkit to Wipe Infected Systems Wed, 02 Jan 2019 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/235954/906225-komrade-cyber-2-shamoon.mp3?blob_id=1675994 https://www.buzzsprout.com/235954/888667-komrade-cyber-1-operation-sharpshooter.mp3?blob_id=1594274 In this, the first Komrade Cyber podcast, Raj Samani and Christiaan Beek take an in-depth look at Operation Sharpshooter, a campaign that targets global defence and critical infrastructure. Recorded in a mystery location near The Hague, this podcast examines how the campaign got its name, why attribution is a flawed concept, what its purpose may have been and who has been targeted.
