SN688: PortSmash

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we discuss the new "BleedingBit" Bluetooth flaws, JavaScript no longer being optional with Google, a new Microsoft Edge browser zero-day, Windows Defender playing in its own sandbox, Microsoft and Sysinternals news, the further evolution of the CAPTCHA, the 30th anniversary of the Internet's first worm, a bizarre requirement of ransomware, a nice new bit of security non-tech from Apple, some closing-the-loop feedback from our listeners, then a look at the impact and implication of the new "PortSmash" attack against Intel (and almost certainly other) processors.
