SN709: URL "Ping" Tracking

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we discuss more news of Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge browser; the U.K. government's plan to legislate, police, and enforce online social media content; improvements to Windows 10's update management; news from the "spoofing biometrics" department; the worrisome state of Android mobile financial apps; an update on the NSA's Ghidra software reverse engineering tool suite; perhaps the dumbest thing Facebook has done yet (and by policy, not by mistake); an important change in Win10 1809 external storage caching policy; and a bit of miscellany and closing-the-loop feedback from our terrific listeners. Then we're going to take a close look at another capitulation in the (virtually lost) battle against tracking our behavior on the Internet with URL "ping" tracking.
