SN647: The Dark Caracal

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week's news continues to be dominated by the industry-shaking Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. We will catch up with what's new there, then discuss the Net Neutrality violation detection apps that are starting to appear; a new app and browser plugin from the search privacy provider DuckDuckGo; a bit of welcome news from Apple's Tim Cook about their planned response to the iPhone battery-life and performance debacle; a bit of errata; and some feedback from our terrific listeners. Then we take a look into a state-level, state-sponsored, worldwide, decade-long cyberespionage campaign which the EFF and Lookout Security have dubbed "Dark Caracal."
