SN681: The Browser Extension Ecosystem

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we prepare for the first-ever Presidential Alert unblockable nationwide text message. We examine Chrome's temporary "www" removal reversal, check out Comodo's somewhat unsavory marketing, discuss a forthcoming solution to BGP hijacking, examine California's forthcoming IoT legislation, deal with the return of Cold Boot attacks, choose not to click on a link that promptly crashes any Safari OS, congratulate Twitter on adding some auditing, check in on the Mirai Botnet's steady evolution, look at the past year's explosion in DDoS number and size, and note another new annoyance brought to us by Windows 10. Then we take a look at the state of the quietly evolving web browser extension ecosystem.
