On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:

• CISA warns about the path from on-prem Exchange to the cloud
• Microsoft awards a crisp zero dollar bill for a report about what a mess its internal Entra-authed apps are
• Everyone and their dog seems to have a shell in US Federal Court information systems
• Google pays $250k for a Chrome sandbox escape
• Attackers use javascript in adult SVG files to … farm facebook likes?!
• SonicWall says users aren’t getting hacked with an 0day… this time.

This week’s episode is sponsored by SpecterOps. Chief product officer Justin Kohler talks about how the flagship Bloodhound tool has evolved to map attack paths anywhere. Bring your own applications, directories and systems into the graph, and join the identity attacks together.
