SN689: Self-Decrypting Drives

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we cover last month's Patch Tuesday this month. We look at a GDPR-inspired lawsuit filed by Privacy International. We ask our listeners to check two router ports to protect against a new botnet that's making the rounds. We look at another irresponsibly disclosed zero-day, this time in VirtualBox. We look at CloudFlare's release of a very cool 1.1.1.1 app for iOS and Android. And, in perfect synchrony with this week's main topic, we note Microsoft's caution about the in-RAM vulnerabilities of the BitLocker whole-drive encryption. We also cover a bit of miscellany, we close the loop with our listeners, and then we take a deep dive into last week's worrisome revelation about the lack of true security being offered by today's Self-Encrypting SSD Drives.
