    1/4 Risky Business will be running in a trimmed-down format (news and sponsor) for at least the next couple of weeks. My little family has hit a bit of turbulence... We've had to take a trip away from home and we don't know exactly when we'll be back.

    Prediction: In a few months, the volume of spam, phishing and just about every form of cybercrime is going to increase noticeably. New privacy rules coming out of the EU are going to take away the single most useful tool available to security experts and researchers: WHOIS.

    As far as I can tell, the facts don't fit Naomi Wu's narrative. There's nothing wrong with Vice's story, and it's reprehensible that Wu doxxed the home address of the reporters over the dispute.

    3/4 If I've been poor at replying to emails, messages and calls this is why. I know you'll all understand, so thanks for being an amazing listener community. I'm happy I'm still publishing, even in a shorter format. Firing up the mic is always fun.
