SN607: Proactive Privacy (Really, this time!)

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week Steve and Leo discuss Symantec finding 40 past attacks explained by the Vault 7 document leaks, an incremental improvement coming to CA certificate issuance, and Microsoft's patching of a zero-day Office vulnerability that was being exploited in the wild. They ask, "What's a Brickerbot?" They cover why you need a secure DNS registrar, This Week in IoT Tantrums, a headshaker from our "You really can't make this stuff up" department, the present danger of fake VPN services, and an older edition of Windows reaching end of patch life. They continue with some "closing the loop" feedback from their listeners and a bit of miscellany, then close with a comprehensive survey of privacy-encroaching technologies and what can be done to limit their grasp.
