<p>On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s security news, including:</p> <ul> <li>BlackMatter is back in the USA’s critical supply chain</li> <li>The FBI and friends apparently got up in REvil’s business</li> <li>The Azure OMI thing is totally the disaster we were expecting</li> <li>Much, much more</li> </ul> <p>Brett Winterford is this week’s sponsor guest. These days Brett is a senior director of cybersecurity strategy at Okta, but the reason you might recognise his name is because he took a year off working for vendors to be our newsletter author – he was the founding editor of the Seriously Risky Business newsletter.</p> <p>He’ll be along to talk about legacy auth and why vendors should have deprecation policies.</p> <p>Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow <a href="https://twitter.com/riskybusiness">Patrick</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/metlstorm">Adam</a> on Twitter if that’s your thing.</p> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h3 class="panel-title">Show notes</h3> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <dl> <dt><a href="https://www.cyberscoop.com/blackmatter-new-cooperative-ransomware-iowa/">Ransomware gang strikes Iowa agriculture business New Cooperative, the latest hack on food supply chain</a></dt> <dd></dd> <dt><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-20/iowa-based-grain-cooperative-hit-with-ransomware-attack">After Biden Warning, Hackers Define ‘Critical’ as They See Fit - Bloomberg</a></dt> <dd></dd> <dt><a href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/customer-care-giant-ttec-hit-by-ransomware/">Customer
