CYBER UNCUT: Chris Krebs quits SentinelOne, 4chan hacked and breached, and how we almost lost the CVE Program

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft talk about Chris Krebs’ extraordinary decision to step down from SentinelOne in order to fight the Trump administration, an array of hacks both global and local, and the importance of funding the essential CVE Program. And China has made fascinating claims about US activity against the Asian Winter Games earlier this year.

• Hollingworth and Croft kick things off with Chris Krebs, who announced his resignation from SentinelOne this week following the signing of an executive order revoking his security clearance. He doesn’t want to distract from SentinelOne’s work, and he plans on taking this fight to the US government.
• Croft and Hollingworth then catch up on the week in cyber crime, with the 4chan message board getting hacked by a rival board, car rental giant Hertz Australia confirming it was caught up in a global Hertz data breach, and local outfit TMA Group of Companies falling victim to Sarcoma ransomware attack.
• The podcast wraps up with the pair talking about funding uncertainty involving the vital vulnerability-tracking CVE Program and how important the program is as a frontline tool against hackers and nation-state actors.
