According to several sources, and confirmed by Western Digital themselves, there’s been a breach regarding the company’s cloud related offerings, such as “My Cloud” and various cloud-enabled storage products. Many of the details have yet to be revealed, but considering that Western Digital filed a 10-K form with the SEC, it’s very possible that it could be serious. In this episode, Jay and Joao discuss this story so far, with more specific details sure to come.

    AlmaLinux OS was created around the time of “that big CentOS” announcement, and has been a worthy solution for enterprises that wish to continue with Enterprise Linux, but without the fear of the distribution being changed into something else entirely.

In this video, Jay and Joao are joined by Atalay Kelestemur who works on the project to discuss this distribution – and there may even be some surprises in store.

    Tasks that penetration testers and security analysis perform in order to expose security weaknesses may seem like a mysterious and complicated art. Most of the time, these tasks are considered “secret sauce” and unless you work for a red team, you may not be aware of what it may look like while someone attempts to gain access from the outside. In this episode, Jay and Joao discuss a report released by CISA, that provides a very detailed account at what goes into this type of work. This report is definitely a must-read, and this episode is a must-listen!

    Passwords – for better or worse, they’re a reality and something we have to deal with. With the average person having many accounts, it’s gotten to the point where we just can’t manage these by ourselves. Password managers help us securely store these confidential secrets, but recently Lastpass (one of the most popular password managers) has suffered a breach. Although no actual passwords within vaults were cracked, recent events do raise a red flag. In this episode, Jay and Joao discuss whether or not you should trust password managers.
