Reboot….initiated

This is an experiment and the first step to a potential return of the Exploring Information Security podcast. The past several months I’ve been working on adding content to the website. Now I’m looking to start podcasting again in 2023. As part of that I was looking at making the news section of the ColaSec user group apart of the podcasting rotation.

ColaSec is a local user meeting based out of Columbia, SC. When the pandemic hit the group moved to online which meant I got to be apart of the group again. Post pandemic we’re still meeting in person but we’ve now expanded to having an online presence along with the in-person meetup. One of the things we do as part of the intro to the meetup is talk about the news. If you’re a fan of Top Gear it’s a bit like that. We even do a Cool Wall sometimes.

In this segment we talk about the below security news topics:

• Okta hacked

• RagnarLocker Ransomware gang taken down

• Atlassian’s critical vulnerability

• CitrixBleed vulnerability

• Alphv/BlackCat files SEC complaint against a company after deploying ransomware

• Updated US export regulation impact chip design and production
