Risky Business #389 — US law: CFAA isn’t a bug, it’s a feature!
On this week's show we're chatting with computer crime lawyer extraordinaire Tor Ekeland! He's worked on a number of high profile CFAA cases. Most recently he's been defending former Reuters and LA Times journalist Matthew Keys on some pretty hefty CFAA charges. He's also the guy who got Andrew Aurenheimer out of jail so he could go and live a free life as a Nazi troll. (Is that really a win?) He also defended Lauri Love... basically if you're a hacker who's fallen foul of the CFAA, this is the guy you want on your team.

IETF Yokohama: Days 4 & 5
Funny enough, much of the food you will find in Yokohama is Chinese, rather than Japanese — another odd fact you probably didn’t need to know. I’m going to cover day 4 and 5 here, as I’m leaving tomorrow morning to head back to the “real world.” Wednesday is a “slow day” in terms of […]

Risky Business #388 — Cyber shrinkery, IoT shenanigans and guest Troy Hunt
This week's feature interview is with Troy Hunt of HaveIBeenPwned.com. And he's noticing something pretty weird. It's common for people to deface websites for bragging rights, and yeah, it's not new that data dumps are the new bragging fodder. But it seems like these days attackers are seeing Troy's site as the definitive place to get cred. Now they'll steal a bunch of data and Troy is their first stop.
Life is strange on the internets. That's this week's feature interview.

IETF Yokohama: Day 3
Interesting observation about Japan of the day: when you press the elevator call button, the light over the elevator that will be coming next lights up. When the elevator comes, the light flashes as the doors open. Minor thing, I know, but I’m easily amused. Today I went to the SPRING, or source packet routing […]
