I've pulled down the most recent episode of Wide World of Cyber with Chris Krebs and Alex Stamos at the request of their employer SentinelOne, the sponsor of the series. I will say more about this in next week's Risky Business, but I want to make one thing clear: SentinelOne is not the bad guy here

@metlstorm @riskybusiness reckon you got the US AppStore surge in Signal installs wrong, surely everyone is installing it for the chance they accidentally get dropped into one of these chats 😂

A well-sourced & accessible 30m explainer of why tariffs don’t work, damage the industries they’re supposed to protect, and amount to punching your own economy in the d*ck.¹ Receipts for days – this is where farce and catastrophe collide 💸💸

HT @riskybusiness for putting me onto Rear Vision a lifetime ago. This programme bridges history and current affairs like no other, and should absolutely be in your pod-catcher!

An absolutely delicious scoop from @briankrebs about how someone with links to The Com has shockingly ended up in what @riskybusiness this week humorously termed as Elno's "child soldiers": https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen-on-musks-doge-team-graduated-from-the-com/#more-70358 #infosec
