Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss how the Signalgate messages betray an alarming lack of security nous at the highest levels of the US natsec leadership. It's head-scratchingly bad. They also discuss the possibility the Trump Administration will reconstitute the CSRB. The Board wasn't perfect, but in our view it is better to get it started again rather than waiting for reviews to determine its perfect form. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss how China's Ministry of State Security is increasingly doxxing and threatening Taiwanese APT operators. In some ways this mirrors the US strategy of naming and shaming Chinese cyber operators in indictments that contain lots of supporting information. But although MSS statements are filled with propaganda rather than technical detail, naming Taiwanese military hackers has some bite. They also discuss Russia's ‘shadow war' sabotage campaign across Europe. The Russian campaign mostly relies on traditional sabotage and finding local proxies to throw bombs. But it does make sense for Western governments to respond with destructive cyber operations. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes CSIS report on Russia's 'Shadow War'
Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss how X is actively engaging in political interference outside the US. The risks mirror those of TikTok. American legislators moved against TikTok because it could potentially be a powerful tool for the Chinese government to interfere with American political discourse. X is a realised threat, not a potential one, so we expect that foreign governments will start to consider a ban. They also explore why mass firing of probationary employees in NSA and intelligence agencies is particularly damaging. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss how Starlink is providing an internet lifeline for scam compounds that have had their internet access cut by Thai authorities. Starlink has a very poor track record dealing with unauthorised use, but it is time for the company to develop the processes to keep on top of these problems. They also discuss how President Trump's actions that favour Russia will make Five Eyes partners take stock, particularly when it comes to HUMINT intelligence sharing. Finally they examine the did-it-happen-or-not stand-down of US Cyber Command's Russian operations. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the White House apparently considering kicking Canada out of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance to apply pressure on the country. It's a terrible idea and even thinking about it undermines the strength of the alliance. They also discuss Sweden's proposed legislation that would order apps like WhatsApp and Signal to store messages so they could be provided under warrant to authorities. The story is a vignette of the ongoing encryption debate, but we think apps like Signal will leave the country rather than comply. Finally, they talk about how the illicit cryptocurrency ecosystem is evolving in response to government action such as takedowns and sanctions. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the idea of launching a retaliatory campaign to hack Chinese telcos in response to Salt Typhoon's targeting of US ones. US Senator Mark Warner floated the idea as a way to persuade the Chinese government to pull back Salt Typhoon, but we think that kind of campaign has merit regardless. They also discuss how Samoa's CERT calling out APT40 is a big deal. It's striking to see a small country of 200,000 people calling out Chinese hacking. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
Mark and Bill are joined by two north-of-the-border podcasters, Shawn Vulliez and Aaron Moritz, who incorporate both improv and philosophy in their dirty leftist podcast. We simulate conversation as competing knowers-of-the-good-life and talk about using improv for political purposes. Note that this was recorded back in December when we were in the thick of Luigi Mangione fever and not yet consumed with daily Presidential antics. You can choose to watch this on unedited video, if you choose. Hear more at philosophyimprov.com. Support the podcast and listen ad-free at philosophyimprov.com/support.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about Apple's refusal to obey a UK government order to provide the capability to access to encrypted iCloud data. Its the latest round in the ongoing government vs technology fights over warrant-proof encryption, and again it looks like governments will lose. They also talk about good news in the fight against ransomware. Government actions are putting pressure on the cyber criminal ecosystem, splintering groups and even making it hard to for crooks to convert cryptocurrency to hard cash. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
UPDATED AUDIO: An earlier version of this podcast audio contained an editing mistake that desynchronised Patrick and Tom's audio. In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the cyber espionage implications of Chinese AI firm DeepSeek's recently released models. They will certainly be picked up by various APT crews to try and accelerate their campaigns. They also discuss the UK NCSC's attempt to quantify ‘comedy bugs' and whether EU sanctions against Russian military intelligence officers for a five-year-old cyber espionage campaign targeting Estonia are pointless.

Gather your family around the tape player for the yearly tradition of listening to the SRSLY WRONG christmas special,. In this classic sketch episode, we follow Jelcinda, the personal lawyer of an embattled and controversial Santa Claus, as she discovers the true meaning of christmas.
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the likelihood that the incoming Trump administration will end the ‘dual-hat' arrangement where a single officer leads both US Cyber Command and the National Security Agency. This would result in Cyber Command outranking NSA and could prioritise cyber disruption operations over intelligence collection. That would be a bad outcome. They also talk about how changes to SEC disclosure rules have led to an outpouring of corporate drivel and how WhatsApp became an everything app. This episode is also availble on Youtube. Show notes
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the US Federal Communications Commission effort to get US telcos to lift their security game and compares it to UK and Australian efforts. The US is very late to the game, and improving security is a huge job. They also talk about Chinese cyber actors continuing to pointlessly sow chaos and how an influence campaign in Romania is an absolute disaster for TikTok. This episode is also available on Youtube.

This makes her the first technical television personality to enter the multiverse, besides an earlier mention of Dave Chapelle–and Christopher Nolan, whom also make their primary appearances in season one, along with Jeff Bezoz. Skrillex and Dillon Francis are the first two primary characters entered as fictionalized persons in the first season of The Legend of Supacree, which precedes Enter The Multiverse by at least 2 full seasons; The original Infinite Skrillfiles, (cancelled in 2021 at 10,000 downloads) and returned later as OWSLA Confidential and the discontinued Gerald's World series originally ran alongside the original Legend of Supacree's initial launch. As of 2024, the series has become an underground cult phenomenon, acquiring over 10K downloads on its own and an accumulated 50K downloads in total with absolutely no formal or traditional advertising or promotions whatsoever. Deadmau5 makes his first appearance as a primary character not much later in season one, while his human counterpart Joel is mentioned midseason just a few episodes earlier; this episode holds the seasons's record for number of downloads for a singular episode. Other fictionalized versions of celebrities in the first season include Billie Ellish, Ke$sha, and Kanye West, as well as festival and dance music mogul extraordinaire Pasquale Rotella. Also making an appearance toward the end of the first season is Television host and personality, JImmy Fallon in an episode first airing November 18th of 2021, before the first season's conclusion before a brief hiatus before the show's second season, which aired on January 8th of 2022.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Adam Boileau talk about the continued importance of hack and leak operations. They didn't really affect the recent US presidential election, but they are still a powerful tool for vested interests to influence public policy. They also discuss the police bust of MATRIX, yet another encrypted messenger that is marketed to criminals and designed to resist police surveillance. The crimephone landscape is splintering due to the constant drumbeat of police success. This episode is also available on Youtube.
The book was fictional, but a perfect reflection of the treatment I had received since arriving to New York City; nothing was free, and it was almost as if the incessant hazing, entrapment, harassment, and terrorism had been at the cost of my own clarity— no longer could I trust another human being, ever. if these fictional ballerinas could do such horrible things to one another, what could their equally as devious adult counterparts do in order to disarm a potential threat—and if this was the simple and evil way women dealt with one another on a competitive level, how much potentially deadlier could make adults be in targeting potential peers, especially of opposite genders, and particularly—of thr opposite race. I wished race had no impact on anything, but in the United States, as the underlying cause of all conflict, it actually seemed to be at the root of everything. Next was money, and it would be ignorant to say that the two hadn't become so drastically intermingled with each other, the least of it belonging to colored people, and the most of it belonging to the dominant source of global power, the whites. Still, the way that people seemed to move was almost a color coded system in itself, and it seemed as though the pawns most often moved around the map in certain ways were almost always one thing or another, and now, understanding the way that politics were more likely than not conducted in this same way— I had collected, by studying the personal-professional lives of fictional adolecent ballerinas, I kept my head down, and my nose out of it—with no intention at anything besides getting out of New York alive, and put together—knowing that the possibility of my making any real money at all might have been some sort of threat itself, to any opposing party. The whites, as it seemed, would only ever be comfortable in a world where they had more, and better—at all times, and always. Nothing any colored person could ever come close to what they had maintained as their own world; everything was a system kept intricately in place—movement outside of this grid of power was not only forbidden, but nearly impossible. Especially on the grid and especially above ground, which almost everything was. Death of A Superstar DJ. [Hanz brings Gretl into his lair, where he co ducts his experimentation in creating “Ze Deepest Bass” Zis makes ze vierd sounds, yes. Yas, Very vweaird. [He presses a button which activates the system to begin playing the severely awkward sound of a Dillon Francis bass drop; embarrassed, he immediately switches the power completely ‘off'.] Zis is stupid. I'm sorry. Vwat vwere you sthinking? I wvasn't. An entire laboratory of sythezizers, and you've wasted it on this abominable— {Enter The Multiverse} The terror tactics began to become next level; though certain sounds were inaduible by my phone recording, they could still be heard and sensed by vibration within my body; an engine had started and had yet to stop, positioned behind me—and though I knew already that the terrorists were more than likely Americans, the tasks themselves were carried out typically by the black and brown underlings, almost with the intention to hide the fact that these commands were coming from a higher source of power; the illusion however could not be made that these kinds of terror campaigns were of course only carried out by the military itself, or another organization; that the men driving the cars and sent about on motorcycles were following orders and being paid by the military themselves. It was psychological terrorism, but because of its being carried out in New York City, it was almost the easiest thing to hide, masquerading the terrorism as the normal sounds of an only partially gentrified busy intersection—but I knew better. I knew that my phone and documents had been compromised long ago, along with my emails and messages— and I knew that, depending on what I was doing, where I was placed in my apartment, or even what I was writing, the incessant engine reving, the motorcycles racing up and down the block or otherwise just in circles, the cars honking and other sounds made with the direct intention of intercepting my personal frequency—was tactical warfare. Once the recording of these events became frequent enough, the sounds had moved only just further away as to be still audible and to disturb my peace, but just out of the range that my iPhone could continue to gather evidence to take to court against the owners of the garages, the city, or even the property management, for having not maintained the peace in the area surrounding their buildings. Still, it was of no coincidence quite obviously that I had been placed here purposely, and that the carlot, the motorcycle garages, the car garages and their respective car clubs, and the auto repair shops all adjacent and within dysfunctional earshot had been created after the year in the homeless shelter where it had been gathered, my sensitivity to sound and synesthesia could be used as weapons in order to dismantle and disable me. The moral reprocussions of these ugly little men on bikes or the even uglier ones in cars were none more then the soldiers that were just as often placed on the front lines of any war— a tactical betrayal of peace and freedom, I could only gather that this operation perhaps intended to pursuade that I should abandon my creativity and instead pursue with passion the humanitarian interests I was capable of, or maybe even political, however—because these things were being carried out in such an in humanitarian way, I became less interested in anything having to do with it, and it only made them more stupid and dirty, lowly and evil like the snakes they were, now that I had rearranged my furniture to always have my backs facing them. Now, not only were they below me, but behind me; once and for all positioned in such a way of knowing that everything they did on the outside of this apartment was underhanded, cold and treacherous, and against the forces of God and of nature. My right to peace and privacy has been violated, and now, worse, my body had been attacked. They were no better, no smarter, and no more powerful than the weakest men on earth—men who could do nothing themselves, but be made to do by others, subsisting entirely by consumption— the product of the light and enchantment had had been wasted with the minimal effort of having created such as these, otherwise useless creatures. The less I chose to interact with people on this level, the less opportunity it gave them to attempt to penetrate my mind or dismantle it am any way, psychological or otherwise. I had become seemingly erratix and unpredictable, moving about at times and in directions that couldn't necessarily be pinpointed— but the more time I spent away from these hostiles, the less erratic I actually was, able to think with clarity and move with stealth, only appearing at the surface for air every once and awhile, and realizing how remarkably desperate the groups that had been stalking and harassing me for to get my attention. It must have been military, and being stalked particularly by men not just simply smoking cigarettes, but intentionally going out of their way to smoke them and blow the smoke into my face— people almost needing to catch up with me or end up in my line of sight and however, it had become easy to avoid them, finally having realized that at this point, most of the time— even I didn't know where I was going. My dismissiveness made me harder to track, and my indecision had suddenly become an asset. I was always ahead of the people who were sent after me in one way or another, and besides the plants in my own building, making themselves obvious as gangstalkers by their particular way of dress and behavior— it was impossible for anyone to understand my way of thinking anymore, because it wasn't in a straight line, nor was it on any grid of systematic standard. I was almost always offline, and off grid, which meant that the people who were online and on grid were of greater number, and more predictable — instead of being moved around, I was the one moving things. I knew that anybody with a cellphone—almost everybody— had to have been connected to something—something that I wasn't connected to, especially moving about, and so the movement and frequency of these beings differed so greatly from my own it was as if playing a two player game in which the other player is simply a computer. The algorithmic nature of things just as often caused me to think about Joel Zimmerman as it did anything in life, and it was just as likely that the more time I spent thinking of anyone or anything fondly enough, then would appear in public anyone that looked just enough like them to momentarily trick my brain out of reason, and typically even more a tiny blonde girl just beside them to remind me of the pecking order of the evil world. The lightheartedness of being ideal in any must be so attractive to the male psyche that its dominance over the structure of the human species will forever stay unmoving. —Tales of a Superstar DJ.

As the train rolled slowly into Columbus circle, I started to get that feeling again— the same feeling I had the other night on the way to the comedy club, as if I was about to go on stage. I wasn't, and this, if anything was more of a consumer experience mainly meant for my entertainment, but still, I had butterflies— and there was no reason for them besides not having had any water— I wanted to make sure I had no need to run off to the restroom, either on the way, or during the taping , and— If anything.

Appearances, appearances, Charisma, Charisma So— its voice activated— And then once so many cell phones like, Detect my voice, a small signal is sent to that phone To make them start coughing. We can only assume that what is happening? Almost no one was coughing Until the banter in the bathroom I love this demographic of demigogs And badic bitches And tenements And tenements In intimate settings— OLD NEW YORK. How old Well, there are the tenements. We never really grow up, so we? We never really show out— Goes to show for sure I am indeed a God; For as soon as I walk in— They all start coughing.

That's what I came for. Move still! Be you mad! I am mad, and envious of thee here, knowing not what I know and— Doing nothing in the midsts of my heartache, None glory being this, knoelege and yet Without wisdom The feeling of teeth sinking in, Hind legs ready to run, Water under no northern skies, But droughted— And mine, the thought of l weary skin The keeping of Times Times Times Tenements Times, Times, times- a Tenements Times, times times Percius, be you still?

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about what to expect from President Trump's second term. Trump is an activist president who believes in using state power, so intelligence agencies will be pushed to conduct more audacious or even outrageous covert operations. They also discuss concerns about a new UN cybercrime treaty that is set for a vote at the General Assembly and the Canadian government's curious decision to force the closure of TikTok's local offices. This episode is also available on Youtube.
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the Snowflake hack after the person allegedly responsible was arrested in Canada. Telegram is involved at all sorts of levels and Tom wonders if this crime would have occurred if Telegram didn't exist. They also discuss the impact of the Chinese hack of US telcos and Sophos' five-year cyber knife fight with Chinese APT crews. This episode is also available on Youtube.
In this podcast Tom Uren, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau talk about an EU directive that will make vendors liable for software defects. The directive sets a very high bar but is also limited in scope. It only applies to individuals and doesn't cover professional use so it is a very practical way to start changing expectations about liability. They also talk about Session Messenger app which has decamped from Australia and set up a foundation in Switzerland. The encrypted and metadata-resistant app is catnip for criminals, so we expect that it is on a collision course with state power. This episode is also available on Youtube.
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the evolving relationship between Russian intelligence services and the country's cybercriminals. The GRU's sabotage unit, for example, has been recruiting crooks to build a destructive cyber capability. Tom suspects that GRU thugs are not so good at hands-on-keyboard operations, but excellent at coercing weedy cybercriminals to hack for the state. They also talk about OpenAI's report into malicious actor's use of its models, and how Australia's proposed cyber security law looks pretty sensible. Show notes Influence and cyber operations: an update, October 2024
In this podcast Tom Uren and Adam Boileau talk a new UN report that spells out the role Telegram plays as a massive enabler for transnational organised crime. They also discuss China's hacking of US telcos to possibly target of lawful intercept equipment and a remarkably entertaining account of North Korean IT workers being employed by over a dozen cryptocurrency firms. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes How North Korea Infiltrated the Crypto Industry UN report into technological innovation in transnational crime
In this podcast Tom Uren and Adam Boileau talk about how the US government's response to Iranian election interference is proceeding at light speed. This allows other actors such as Meta to make decisions relating to interference with certainty. They also discuss how Russian cybercrime group Evil Corp's relationship with Russian intelligence was built on the founder's marriage. This episode is also available on Youtube.
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the possibility of deterring Volt Typhoon, the Chinese group that is compromising US critical infrastructure to enable future disruption operations in the event of a conflict with US. Tom thinks it is not possible to deter Volt Typhoon, but things might work the other way. If the US can neuter Volt Typhoon and take away the PRC's magic cyber bullet, it could make conflict less likely.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the structure of the spyware ecosystem. It's concentrated, with lots of vendors in India, Israel and Italy. And its a small pool of talent, with many companies being founded by just a few individuals. They also talk about the US government's actions against Russia's disinformation ecosystem. The US very clearly linked different ‘layers' of that ecosystem directly to the Russian government. Employing influencers via cutouts also shows how Russian disinformation has responded as social media platforms have countered interference efforts. This episode is also available on Youtube.
In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss Russia's use of exploits from commercial spyware vendors. Bought through a front, or stolen with other bugs?

This episode is also available on Youtube.
Which fork should you use on a first polyamorous date? Do you have to let your partner be the little spoon all the time? We pondered these and other burning questions in the Finale episode of Season Three. Srsly though, here's the etiquette and advice we gathered for this episode, if you don't want to listen to 80 mins of our charming banter: Let your partners consent into information about your interactions with other partners (esp sexy stuff) Be careful of collecting too many partners/spreading yourself too thin. Try not to over-curate yourself. Be authentically who you are and let partners meet you there. Everyone is tender. Treat them as human, not just means to the experiences you want. Take responsibility for ending relationships when they aren't working anymore. Be kind but direct. Be honest up front about your capacity. Talk about the parameters of the relationship early and often. Make sure your partners know how 'out' as poly you are (so you don't embarass them when you run into acquaintances in public together). Seek deeper connections, rather than more; the relationships that you're yearning for might be the ones that you're already in.

Tom argues that is fundamentally good news.

Finally, Tom is happy that the FTC is going to investigate ‘surveillance pricing'.

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Podcast for everyone with a Stupid Heart!-------------------Hello loveliesBack in November my excellent comedy actor pal Laura Patch (from Netflix hit Afterlife) let me into her rather impressive kitchen for a chat about life, writing and processing trauma. That's episode 73 if you want to go back and find it. Now 6 months later, the play she was merely tinkering with back then is up on it's feet as Laura performs it and hones it into it's perfect shape. Last Friday I had a brilliiant catch up with her in Cote in Soho (OooooOOOOoooooh, alright Lawrence LLywellyn Bowen).We had a further chat about writing about personal experience, and processing trauma which has become a very hot issue the last few weeks since Baby Reindeer arrived and seemingly caught the attention of the whole world, and not always for the better as the hype and opinion furnace began to rage.After our chat I went and watched Glorious in Clapham on Tuesday where I got to see Laura in action. I also got to meet some of Lauras buddies which was very interesting indeed and only confirms to me how ace and loved she is, the absolute sod.This ep concludes with me referring back to watching the play, and reflecting on how great it is watching a project go through the stages of finding it's truest self.Stirring stuffHope you enjoyNicox-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to support me with a little monthly donation, while getting access to some SRSLY cool, exclusive extras, then why not go and check out my Patreon!
