Risky Business Weekly (771): Palo Alto's firewall 0days are very, very stupid

On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
Microsoft introduces some sensible sounding post-Crowdstrike changes
Palo Alto patches hella-stupid bugs in its firewall management webapp
CISA head Jen Easterly to depart as Trump arrives
AI grandma tarpits phone scammers in family-tech-support hell
Academic research supports your gut-reaction; phishing training doesn't work
And much, much more.
This week's episode is sponsored by Greynoise. The always excitable Andrew Morris joins to remind us that the edge-device vulnerabilities Pat and Adam complain about on the show are in fact actually even worse than we make them out to be. Andrew also tells us about a zero-day Greynoise' AI system truffle-pigged out of their data set.
