On this week’s show Patrick and Adam discuss the week’s security news, including:

Russia owned FBI counter surveillance team radio comms
New details on 2016 attack against Ukraine power grid
US Government to sue Edward Snowden for memoir profits
Did RCMP intelligence director tip Phantom Secure on investigation?
Much, much more!

This week’s sponsor interview is with Casey Ellis of Bugcrowd. It’s an interesting chat with Casey this week. He was at the Billington cyber conference a couple of weeks ago and he had a bunch of interesting discussions there with people in the aerospace sector.

Between recent Black Hat presentations on 787 security and the trouble Boeing has had with it’s 737-MAX, software security and resiliency is all of a sudden on the agenda in aerospace. Casey drops by to talk about all of that.

Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing.
